Re: Struggling?

My recip had (only) one really general prompt that was just the wrong amount of information for me -- think "I'll be happy with anything about X!" where X is something I'm fine writing, but have no ideas for on my own. If it had been "write me anything about the canon!" I'd have ideas, but all of my ideas are about other things, and I don't want to ODAO when there's nothing actually wrong with their request. I'm happy to write about X, I just don't inherently find it interesting. If they had ANY specific prompts, or discussion of why they find X interesting, or even general likes for me to work with, it would be so much better.

I was hoping canon review would help inspire me, but so far, not really. I have a general idea for how to structure the fic, but no content to fill it in yet. Sigh. Anyone have brainstorming tips?

What kind of thing is X? Character, world, plot, relationship? Like, "I'd be happy with anything about Alice's backstory," or "I'd be happy with any casefic," or "I'd be happy with anything about the magic system"?

Do they have any bookmarks you can look through for ideas about X, or past fics that might touch on it (not necessarily in this canon) or any posts about X or about the canon in general?

Does anyone else in the fandom have any letters or requests?
