One more tip: I don't really write fanfiction, but I'm in the process of more clearly formating some stories for later publication.

I tend to start with one character and the story forms around him/her. I want to learn more about that character, so I start digging for his/her past and a story tends to form around that.

Or, I start with a vague idea. For example, right now I'm trying to create a sci-fi story using one of the parables of Jesus as a basic plot. I currently have a pretty good idea about the culture and environment for my story, I just need to come up with the right characters and a good plot. So you can try stuff like that. Hope that helps!
