Hello Bar!

This week's ATTF is all about inspiration: finding it, keeping it and turning it into a story. 

Every person is moved by different things, and people can draw inspiration from the most unexpected situations. (I once came up with an idea for a fic during a dancing session with my local folklore group.) A song, an image, a gifset, a good prompt... anything goes.

Of course, finding a good idea and putting it into words is a whole different story. If I had a dollar for every abandoned WIP, I would be... well, not exactly rich, but you get the picture.

So, tell us about you! Where do you draw inspiration from? How do you come up with ideas for a story? And, most importantly, once you start writing, how do you keep going? Are you one of these admirable people who can write thousands of words in one sitting? Do you have any tips and tricks to share regarding the writing process?

Pull up a chair, grab a cold drink and let us know in the comments!

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)
