Day 4 - Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character become your muse?

Rodney from Stargate Atlantis ALWAYS shows up in my SGA fics, but that could be because I relate better to him than the others.

I have an OC character in my Buffy crossover who I can feel wanting to push into fics I write and fics I read, but she's pretty much my alter ego, so I'm not sure if that's a "muse" character.

I'm not sure I have a "muse" character. To me, a "muse" is a source of inspiration rather than a character. It is someone or something that you see, hear, smell, feel, or taste and it wakes up your brain with an idea, a thought, a "I want to write that with (fill-in-the-blank character)!" thing.

I usually have "plot bunnies" instead - herds of them some days - that pester and interfere with my thought processes and I get sidetracked from the story I'm trying to work on.
