Consulting the Dish Fairy or the Shower Fairy sounds very useful, too! I've had soooooo many ideas in the shower. It's a magical place, clearly!

(There was one day I was trying to beat a deadline for a fic -- it was a pinch-hit, write the whole thing in a week! -- when I consulted the Shower Fairy seven times.)

Well, at least you were clean as well as creative!

Ooh, I love epistolary fic, that sounds excellent! I really ought to try to write some myself some time.
