    Um, I just wanted to say that my entire childhood was defined by The Last Unicorn. So, yeah. Haha.

    EMILY! Thank you so much! I love hearing about your inspirations and of course, your stories are what make this website tick, haha, well at least for me! I love them and they make me so---so at peace and that's not usual, you know?

    You have a true gift, Emily! :) Don't let ANYONE tell you differently!

    I have been wondering where you get you inspiration from for your stories.
    And I completely agree that you have to CARE.
    I know firsthand how it feels to lose a story because you didn't care enough in the beginning.

    My inspiration is really weird sometimes. There's times where have gazillion ideas floating around in my head and then I'll stumble upon a name. Or hear a name. And this person, character develops and I have to write something about them.
    I do get most of it from music and reading. Including your stories. So thank you. :]

    I've actually started to use this website now ,because of you. It seems more appropriate.I used to read your stories on quizilla.I must say there amazing and what you said here is a big help.Maybe you next time you can explain how you get the inspiration in words because i have a bit of a weakness in that area.

    I feel like such a stalker...
    >.<

    I'm pretty sure I read this, like, three times over and I absolutely adored it. Inspiration for a story is insanely important and so many overlook that. I tend to get my inspiration from poetry and music, too. (And nature is pretty inspiring, too.)

    So, er... Yes, I wish I could marry you. :|

    I never would have guessed where you would have gotten your inspiration. I loved reading this. The advice was amazing. That give me the idea and inspiration to go back and work on my stories and work on new ideas.

    Thank you so much for this!
    Your stories are wonderful & I've always wondered about your inspiration.

    I've also recently started writing again & have been trying to find inspiration. So thank you :)

    that was actually v informative.
    and i pictured a kid who was v similar looking to sonny moore for my alphonse... they had different faces, but my alphonse has the same crazy ass hair and sometimes sickly pale skin and a similar body structure. weird how that worked out.
