My muse wears bunny ears

vr_trakowskiI dreamed tonight of a fanfic contest of sorts, advertised in the newspaper - use one of these given characters, write about this plot, and win a prize. I remember reading the character list (always a struggle to read anything in a dream) and noting with contemptuous amusement that they were all third-tier superheroes from some major franchise. Like, "Star 8", "Star 54R," etc. - they were various multiverse versions of themselves.
Except, in the middle of them, was the Doctor. And within the dream, the plot just unfolded for me, how I could write that, how the TARDIS would be perfect for solving one of the central conflicts of the given storyline, and which Doctor would be best, which one could I write most truly...
The funny thing is that it would still work, if I wanted to attempt it. There's not really a genuine plot, just a sort of prompt (did I forget, or was it never there in the first place?), but it could be done.
I'm not going to. The inspirational rush didn't survive waking, and I've got other things to do, but it was neat to dream it.
