Over on the Author's hangiout, our chat frequently contains reference to "plot bunnies"- ideas for stories, or elements for stories. Sometimes like bunnies they are plentiful, sometimes they are elusive. sometimes they are just a plain nuisance. They like to be fed carrots.

Which got me thinking about a bookstore and a farmer who open a joint venture to sell actual bunnies as "plot bunnies" to struggling writers. Is it at the local farmers market? or in a corner of the bookstore?

Inevitably, sooner or later, a Literotica author wanders in.

Not sure what hapens next...but betting that it involves sex.
 
It’s a gremlin like situation. The bunnies start as normal looking bunnies. Writers like them because having one is like having a muse. They feel their creativity flowing, they feel invigorated for life and they have big ole bunny that doesn’t need to go to the vet and makes very little mess.

Only rule is: you have to write every day, no matter the idea, you have to write. If you don’t, the bunny will get sick. If it gets too sick, it will change into a monstrous form that will make you write.

The sex comes in though from what happens if you do keep it healthy: it will generate THE idea. The one which fully switches your gears, the one that has you outlining. When it does that, your bunny becomes a sexy bunny girl or guy and will collaborate with you on it…but you have to keep them on task and you have to finish your story before going onto another idea.Cause if you let them pitch sequel ideas, spinoffs, etc. you’ll soon find yourself buried in full grown bunnygirls and guys, all who want to “conceive” more ideas with you.
 
This reminds me a lot of Plot Bunny Pens. And more specifically of a free-use bunbun I came up with.

This plot bunny was very nearly eaten by kreptoids, and I'd seen the ads for PBP, so I figured it'd be best to keep it at the BunBun Farm, since I have more pressing stories needing to be told.

Designation: Free-Use BunBun

A husband and wife tend to their small plot bunny farm. It's been in the family for generations, and while they're barely making enough to scrape by, they're honest, hardworking folk. One day a storm rolls through, and the husband is killed trying to save the plot bunnies. Most of them are lost, and the newly widowed woman is devestated. But she rebuilds, tending to what few bunnies she has left, breeding them, now feeling more like her children now that she's alone.

Then, ten years later, she sees a figure approach the farm. It's one of the plot bunnies, come home! But he's... Very handsome, transformed by the storm and the power of the husband's love into a bunny man, come back to help the widow care for the farm. It's a tender relationship at first, almost mother-son, but it soon turns into something more: a soft kiss, a loving embrace, until eventually they're fucking like, well, rabbits.
 
Fun idea: Writer goes to the plot bunny store (or PBP), just perusing the wares, when a bunny really jumps out at her. She is so enamored with it, she takes it home. It sits on her lap as she writes, and within a few weeks, is nearing completion of what is probably the greatest story ever written.

However, her neighbor, also a writer, has to go out of town for a little bit, vacation with his wife or something. Their plot bunny needs someone to keep an eye on it, and the writer of course has no problem watching another plot bunny for a few days while he's away. It's a very cute one, and the associated story seems harmless and not something she's all that interested anyway, so she doesn't foresee it being all that distracting.

However, the guy's plot bunny makes the sex with her plot bunny. And before she knows it, she has a few more, then more, all demanding her attention, trying to get her to write their story. She has to fight them all off and keep them away from her plot bunny so she can finish her masterpiece. It's a constant struggle, the bunnies are loud, constantly breeding, and by the time the neighbor gets back, her house is so full of plot bunnies there's almost nowhere that isn't covered in bunbuns.

Why am I suddenly thinking of the messenger bunnies from The Magicians?

ISTR a plot in The Sandman where Dream drives a writer mad by giving him so many story ideas he can't sleep.
 
Absolutely crap idea. Not even worth discussing. Not an idea, really, and doesn't belong here.

The thread should be taken away and buried somewhere like 'The Playground'.

Mods, kindly take note.
