Fan fiction is my muse?

I think it worked. Not that I doubted my buddy, Charlotte, but I kind of doubted her. She suggested fan fiction as a way to break through the mire in my mind, so I took a stab at it.

However not needing to worry about the details, this makes the plot so much easier to write and allows you to focus on characters, dialogue and everything else.

Fan fiction belongs to the originator, so they can take your ideas and run with them, not that they usually need them. I went with a game I play online called Core Exiles. You can use any story line that you like with the understanding that your writing ultimately doesn't belong to you, and you can be asked to cease and desist.
