It depends, sometimes I pull from real life events tat happen to the boys mostly. Like when they lived together in that house in London (Scattered Pictures) or when they were back together after their hiatus (Why Id' Do it all Again) but mostly things just kind of pop in my head, usually in the form of dreams.

What has been your most unique (for you) story and why?

I really do, especially lately. I have a couple new ideas for novel-length fics but they're just very similar to things I've done in the past. I have used the friends to lovers and forbidden love tropes a few times each now. There were unique elements to each of those stories that made them different but I still felt like I was writing very similar scenes a lot of the time.
The one I just finished was probably the most unique for me because it was a cancer fic and I'd never written a medical drama before. All of that was new for me and because it felt fresh I really enjoyed writing it.

I don't know if I recycle ideas. I have been on a serious bromance kick lately lol, but I still try to keep it fresh. By far my most unique is RMTW though, or Undead.

I feel like I am constantly stealing my own ideas or sometimes I'll come up with a line and then think "Wait, did I use that already?" lol
As far as unique storyline. You're probably talking about novels and not short stories but I felt like my haunted house story was by far the most unique thing I've ever written. I have to say I've never written in a house's POV before. As far as novels, probably Whatever the Night May Bring because it was my first whirl at sci fi. Even though it's not really the most original storyline, for me it was... just because of the genre.

all the freaking time! "All Of Your Life" & "My Answer Is You" is almost the same story really. Only difference is how Nick was met lol. My Answer is You was written while i was pregnant with Luke i was maybe only 2 months along or something like that. I came up with this storyline and I just ran with it.
All of Your Life was written on how my life is kinda based now. I really did meet Art in World of Warcraft...and I do have two kids...and I had miscarriages.. and my MIL can be a physco at times lol. So All Of Your Life is more unique i guess to me cause most of its "real" to me lol.
Right now Southern Comfort will be an interesting write as well once I get going on it. I got my idea from ID Discovery and I am excited to write it lol.
