When a new album comes out, do ye find yerself getting inspired by the new music and developing story ideas based on the new songs or wanting to incorporate them into yer current ones?

Both.
When I first heard "One phone call" I was like: "Gosh, that is perfect for this story I'm writing", though the phone call in the story already happened. Damn. LOL "Soldier" might work for this one - shot that I'm writing since forever.
Since I first heard "Breathe" live I knew I was gonna write something. And the potential of angst... But, to answer the question, I usually plot and develop new stories based on the songs.

What do ye think? Are ye on board for a disability fic trend?
What are some other trends ye remember from yer years of reading, and which were yer favorites?

Well, in the slash fandom, I doubt that there is an author that haven't write a story about rape. And yes, I must admit that it's one of my favorite. As I said before, it's not the rape itself but I love the getting back on feet and the whole hurt/comfort thing.
Another trend that I love (I'm bad) is everything that's linked with diseases or illness. I'm really bad. lol

LOL Julie, ye is still in pirate mode!

Yes, I suppose I do get inspired a little to add new music into my stories, that's if I can ever open a word doc and start typing!

Not really. Like I've said many times, I am not a big fan of stories inspired by songs. It's their interviews and things like that which tend to inspire ideas. I do love the songs though. I can't get enough of them! LOL

I'd rather that trend then some of the others I've seen. I don't have a problem with disability fics lmao although that sounds ridiculous to say. I'm not sure I want to read a billion stories about various boys being confined to wheelchairs but if there's a good one that catches my attention like one of those stories has, I'll stick with it to the end. That being said, I think too many of anything is a bad idea, but you can say that about everything. Books, TV, movies. The first time you encounter it, it's new and refreshing then the second one shows up and It's okay by the third and forth you're over it.
There have been bus crash and kidnapping story trends. There were girl band meets boy band trends. I'm pretty sure there was a period of time where a lot of the stories were about them breaking up as a group back around the hiatus time.
I also recall there being an odd fetish type trend a few summers ago with stories ranging from Mpregs to bondage and rape, incest etc... Yeah fun times lol

Do you feel like you ever started your own trend? Or written something unique to the fandom that had never been done prior to yours?
