Ideas

A humble request from Doug Miller:

Can you possibly start a thread at Gangrey where you ask writers to list one or a few of their favorite stories and HOW THEY GOT THE IDEAS for those stories? That seems to be the thing that plagues me (and maybe you and others) the most. It would be fun/educational/possibly career-advancing to read those tales. Forgive me if this has been done already there and I missed it, but it seems it's always a good thing to resurrect from time to time. Thanks.
