30 Days of Writing Fanfic Meme - Day Four

[desertvixen]

I know, I just posted Day Three a few hours ago, but I'm awake anyway, and it is the next day.

Today's question: Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?

I don't do the character as muse thing.  For me, muse/inspiration is that little voice in my head that pipes up and says, "Heyyyy, wouldn't it be cool if X and Y did THIS, only like THAT".

The only time I really focus on a particular character is if I'm writing for something like Yuletide, where the requester has specified a character and/or something specific happening to a character.

See Day One for the rest of the meme.

Some fic prompts get really specific. You have to wonder why the person doing the prompting doesn't do it him/herself.

I try to leave my prompts open enough so that whoever writes for me has enough room to play with.
