Inspiration for AUs and Headcanons

[fleurviolette]

 Where do you find inspiration for an AU or a headcanon?

Maybe it could be from an elaborate plot of a book, movie, or even tv? Or maybe the inspiration comes from a youtube video of someone eating an entire menu in a moving truck?

I'm just curious to find out, because sometimes inspiration can be found somewhere unexpected.

Pretty much. One of my main fandoms is a hot mess of sci-fi with an endless amount of plotholes. Sometimes just trying to make simple things make sense involve rebuilding chunks of canon.

Oh wow! That fandom sounds like chaotic fun! I was also in a few sci-fi film and tv fandoms, although vast, but somewhat organized. The plotholes weren't too messy or drastic, thankfully.
