Well, I'll say this with a huge caveat: I've never vidded, so I don't know how the normal creative process with that works.
But one of the things I find that really stimulates me is to watch some of the episodes -- just soak in the source material, get a renewed feel for their voices and dialogue, etc. I suppose that could work with vids too, immersing youself in the visuals and just letting the vid idea percolate on the back burner while you have fun watching.
Barring that...sometimes you DO just need a break. I find going for a walk always throws some ideas up, while at the same time giving me a chance to relax.
Anyhow, I think I should go take my own advice now -- because I have about 12 WIPs languishing around at the moment, because I keep getting distracted by actual work. ;) Hang in there!
