Heyy!! Where do you get your motivation or the ideas for your fanfics lmao 😭😭
hi!! <333
ooh good question
to be honest, my motivation comes from the fact that I a) have no life and nothing better to do and b) that I actually have about sixteen wips in progress, so when I don't feel like working on one, I work on a different one
sometimes it makes updating unreliable or getting a certain storyline done slower, but in general, it works for me :)
and in terms of ideas.... to be honest I'm just hit with it at the most random times, normally when I have something else simple distracting the loud bits of my brain
For example, when I'm walking. When I'm on my school bus and looking out the window. When I'm sat in bed in the middle of the night and crocheting or listening to music and staring at my ceiling. It helps having a certain part of my brain stimulated for the ideas to flow
I also tend to ponder over a new idea for a day or two, refining it and figuring out which version of it I want to use. Sometimes I don't like the original idea I come up with but I do like what I made from it, so I switch the storyline around in my brain a lot before writing anything down.
And the ideas themselves can come from anything. A conversation I heard on the bus, this certain part of another book I've read that's given me a whole load of new ideas, a new topic I started learning in my history class, whatever. As long as I can pull a story from it, it works. And, honestly, sometimes I'm that out of ideas that I resort to OTP generators and the like. (Basic, I know, but it works :D )
So yeah, that's what works for me, but everyone formulates ideas differently. And as for the motivation... I only write if I want to. It shouldn't be a chore. It should be a passion :)
hope that helped! <333

arghhhhhhhhh the cuteness yesss
I'm so weak for Jake and Michael's height difference.
Like, Michael hardly reaches Jake's shoulders fhdgf
Jake just loves picking him up and cuddling him like a living teddy bear.
He loves sitting down on a bed/cot or chair so Michael can kiss him no problem.
Or when they're cuddling he'll lay his head where Michael can run his hands through his hair.
Michael has Jake wrapped pretty much fdgdg the boy has it bad. Michael can very easily just drag him by the arm and Jake doesn't say a thing.
Michael is still pretty strong, so he very much doesn't have an issue pulling Jake around. Especially when Jake is in the infirmary (again).
Just, love size difference fjdgf
