Yeah, I'm talking about [livejournal.com profile] kalliel again, because she posted this lovely essay about Easter eggs, the little bits of her life that she puts into her fic. And she's had an interesting life and such cool (and very Winchester-eque) travels. I mean, look at everything that she packed into one fic.

Me, on the other hand... I've had a fairly boring life, and very little of it makes its way into anything I write. Y'all do not want to read about Sam and Dean's frustrating trip to Walmart, or their stop at a Hampton Inn that looks exactly like every other Hampton Inn (although, Dean would love the breakfast buffet, particularly the make-your-own waffle station). But every once in a while, something real creeps in.

Of flesh and blood I'm made was inspired by a conversation between a family member and a nurse in the ER.

But I've become what I can't be uses a location I've seen while traveling (the giant double church, although it's not actually in Memphis).

My untitled Nazi car fic came about after I rented a Volkswagen and started wondering what Dean would say about it.

Coda was inspired by my very real inability to deal with a whole raw chicken.

What about you? What sights and/or experiences make their way into your writing?

(And okay, now I have to do it...)
