When you get plot bunnies from the titles of books that you find in thrift stores.

When you can't hear a new song on the radio without assigning it to a character or couple, even if you have to make up an OC or two to do so.

...when you write your schoolwork in Galactic basic standard, and your teacher just looks at you and shakes his head. (true story)

How can you write your schoolwork in Galactic basic standard? confused Is it a font? If it is, I've got to know where to find it!

when you've been known to get plot bunnies... in church.

Although, not having any open space on the church bulletin does at least get rid of the impulse to write right then.

When you stand at a copy machine for eight entire hours at work, and figure out your plot problem in your head because you're bored and thinking about fic is more fun than what you're actually doing.

when you see an add on the intranet on your work asking for blood-donors and surfing on the intranet and finding something about DNA and it gives you another plot bunny.

YKYO when you're watching the original Superman and keep thinking that Clark reminds you of Anakin, and then you get ideas about a crossover fic... Lol.

Anakin checked the display to make certain that Obi-Wan was still with him.
“Are you all right?” “A bit toasted, but okay.”
“Stay with me.” “Do I have a choice?”
“Always, Master.”

When you have to organise a folder with all your fics in it to stop from losing them all in a sea of scrap paper.

When you have to reorganise your plot-bunny book to save yourself from going insane trying to find stuff, only to realise, it's too late.

When listening to the August Rush soundtrack reminds you of a plot bunny that kept you occupied for a few nights, realize it would never work for original fiction, and eagerly begin the transformation to make it SW fanfic. mischief

When you spend several days contemplating who would make a better template for Lando's father: Samuel L. Jackson or Little Richard...seriously.

When a line of dialogue pops in your head right as your drifting off to sleep and you feel compelled to get up and write it down.


I do that, but not with fanfic, with stuff I have to remember to do the next day silly

When you see SW characters and OCs everywhere.
