Definition of a Plot Bunny


Plot Bunny (n.; plural, Plot Bunnies; see also Plot Bunny Army, PBA)—A creature similar in appearance to the killer rabbit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, except with red eyes, unkept and dirty gray fur, and standing at about the same height as a beagle. They love to torment authors by sneaking about their stories and making things happen that the authors don't want to or shouldn't happen, and take great pride in many acts of mischief.

This includes but is not limited to the following: messing up or forming romances where there shouldn't be ones; making increasingly ridiculous creatures attack the heroes; or having the heroes do increasingly unrealistic things, including such feats as amazing rescues of cliche damsels-in-distress through tower windows on the back of equally-cliche creatures, including—but not limited to—gryphons/griffons, dragons, or pegasi.

A Plot Bunny's main diet consists of well-written plots/plot outlines pilfered from the binders and electronic folders of well-meaning, well-to-do, hard-working authors such as you and me—hence their name. An overabundance of these creatures (known as an Army) can easily be diagnosed by inferior writing, littering of cliches about a story, and overall degeneration into random happenings, pairings, rescues, triumphs, deaths, defeats, and overall displeasing, incoherent nonsense including a universal breakdown of the English (or other) language.

Authors should also beware the clandestine alliance of their muses with these vile creatures. Mass confusion and anarchy in one's mind and writing will ens--

Randomness galore! Just in case someone didn't know what a Plot Bunny was, or wanted to refresh their memory, or just wanted a different take on it. There is also supposed to be an image to go with this, but I haven't yet gotten it scanned, so this piece shall remain image-less until further notice. :P

Pretty self-explanatory, no? ^_^

Monty Python!!! :lol:

I agree with the other person who posted, you should write a short story about this. *sighh* Poor plot bunnies that feed on well-written plots, I think their food source is beginning to dwindle. Anyway, I thought this was pretty funny.

I saw this after looking on someon else's post and thought hilarious. The plot bunnies, for me, have definitely messed with me sometimes and usually ends with me giving up on a project. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Just saying that I might publish a new series here soon. The ideas have been floating around in my head for forever and I'm combining all of my similiar failed attempts to make this (hopefully) amazing. I might call it the Cataclysm Chronicles: The Rebirthing. I only need some more points and I know its not the smartest of things to work on two books but I couldn't think about the ArchMage till I had written this one down. The Plot bunnies have helped me on this one :-).
