Plotbunny

Plotbunny 

Refers to the rampant and often uncontrollable story idea that smacks an author in the face (often at the most inappropriate of times!) and demands to be written. Such fuzzy pests are generally wild and quick to breed subplots, but are also ridiculously irresistible. Some authors, if unable to attend to their plotbunnies right away, will share them with other authors seeking to adopt. Plotbunnies may either be of a serious nature or completely crazy crack. However, all bunnies are usually well-loved -- even the poor abandoned ones. ;)
