I meant, plot bunnies for a longer story. I thought the fanfiction question might be linked to that.
Hmm... How many times did you write stories about characters who were from a book, not a film/serie? Apart from the LotR ones, which are so integrated in our minds for so long, and who got highly influenced by the movie ones anyway? HP too got influenced by the movie... I would think that using characters you only meet in a book would be quite different. That's for the general part. And more specifically, her characters are so fleshed out, the caracterization so well done, that it's even more difficult and intimidating. But then, hmm... It's not as if I really used to borrow characters, so what would I know? :-P OC, that's my thing. The rest, I know I'm not good at it.
(OT: When I'm on such a page as http://www.livejournal.com/users/fan_elune/53734.html?thread=279014 , there's something wrong with your layout, on IE. All the stuff supposed to be on the right side are located *below* the comment. Nothing really important, but it's weird. Probably a LJ bug, though)
