1. Uh... Start to write a prompt for the kinkmeme.

2. Decide to add a little more detail. Maybe even one of those +1, +10, +1000 points thing?

3. Realize I'm halfway to a finished fic. Take a long break from it to yell at myself.

4. Find someone else who prompted a similar idea on the kinkmeme.

5. Go ahead and finish the fic.

6. Fix any tense problems, find a stupid title for it.

7. Post my fic to AO3, the Fill post, and the other person's prompt thread, pretending that I was writing for that one all along.

Well, I've done something like this twice, anyhow. It's not like I'm the most prolific author. (A third time I came up with a basic prompt after step 3, then went ahead and filled it myself anyhow.)
