--What's the origin story for your current WiP? What inspired it?

For fanfic, of course, that's often (but not always) a moment in canon, but I know some of us are working on original works too! For me, the long-ago seed was coming to realize that the wrestling matches these two wrestlers put on, even though they were in different companies, made a coherent story when you put them together. So I set out to figure out what story ALL their matches told if put together, and here I am! School is wrapping up this week and next week so writing is slow, but I'm hoping to sit down and hammer out the rest of the current chapter this weekend. What's the very beginning for your current work, what put that creative gleam in your eye?

That's really cool you were able to notice that and made it work. Good luck with the chapter! :D

Over a decade ago, Tom Welling did this Vogue photoshoot, and one of the pics was where he was in a Daily Planet like office setting and he was putting glasses on some model. A LJ friend used those as inspiration to draw art of a Superwoman AU, using Erica's Lois as a replacement for the model. I've always wanted to write the fic but I eventually fell out of fandom and writing before I had the chance. When I came back a few years ago and then signed up for the Heroine Big Bang, I remembered the art and the idea and I went with it. :D

Oh, I love this origin story! Art inspiring fic (which then inspires art) is so wonderful.
