I have to admit, it doesn't happen all that often for me. I think the last time I was this broadsided by a fic is was when I wrote GTS, which was mostly finished in a single week, with only scenes here and there to finish after that. This last few days I honestly couldn't concentrate on anything else until I had Erik and Charles on the page rather than in my head. Apologies for everyone waiting for things from me, I have no excuses, just complete inability to control my creative urges for a few days.
If you get attacked all the time, I would love to hear your coping methods. If you are incredibly disciplined and can keep your muse in order, I would also love to hear about that :).
To start with, a little poll.
Are you ever attacked by rampaging plot bunnies?
