Really muse? Really?
9 years ago
I've mentioned that my muse is freakin' insane before, right?
So I'm playing Dragon Quest Builders(DQB: 'Like Minecraft if it had plot and a terrible, horrible camera!'), running around collecting parts for the most recent build in creative mode of ten luxury houses that the NPC's can then proceed to ignore when I run past a hammerhood, one of the in-game monsters, and one that happens to be one of the 'friendly' ones, such that they won't attack you unless you attack them first, and you can even talk to several in the 'main' campaign.
Mind starts wandering, throws out the idea of a less experienced human builder being rescued by a hammerhood, maybe after an attack by some less friendly monsters. Human, grateful as they are, offer to help the monster in return, maybe by building something for them like a nice house or good weapon.
Then the muse, with a glint in it's eye, suggested a different way of repayment... you can probably guess were that went, which is why I now find myself typing away at what may be my first raunchy game-related fanfic, because of course it makes perfect sense to go from picking up sticks and whacking rocks with a hammer to get smaller rocks to writing three-ways between a human and two monsters, and tossing out ideas on monster 'reproduction'/rebirth(non-sex related randomly enough) and how hunting works in a world where the 'prey' is fully capable of speech if you care to listen.
Really the two activities are so similar and logically connected I suppose I should have been more surprised if it hadn't happened.

Can't wait, I'm sure it'll make a great story!
