This is something that a thread at the NaNo boards inspired me to do kinda. What they have over there is a fantasy plot bunny thread. So I figured I'd do the same thing (if it's not in the right section, feel free to move it or whatever). I'm going to add my own twist to it.

Instead of JUST plot bunnies, you can come up with:

    -Plots
    -Opening lines
    -Character ideas
    -Creature ideas
    -Land/places ideas
    -Titles (and the plots that could go along with them)
    -Anything else you can think of

What I'm specifically looking for is stuff that isn't "too out there." Meaning...keep it in the realm of medieval/fantasy without making the ideas too crazy (like...I dunno. There are some really out there ideas that people've posted at the thread at the NaNo boards that I personally wouldn't use).

Notes:
The ideas you give should be:
-Ones that you don't mind letting other people possibly use in their own writing
-Ones that you don't plan on using any time soon/at all
-Ones that you don't mind seeing what other people can do with them

I guess by "out there" I mean..."two brothers who are complete opposites of each other have to face each other in the ultimate battle" vs..."things were fine in the kingdom of Treyu until one day an alien space ship landed and people with swords of light came walking out."

Have fun. :D

What's a plot bunny? :oops: I've heard of plot hedgehogs, but I don't know what they are either. Can you have a plot anything? Plot guinea-pig? Plot cactus? Or should that be POT cactus? :?

o_O It's basically just like...random plot ideas that people give to use for stories. I suppose it could be another animal, but for whatever reason it's plot bunnies. o.o

(I, too, have almost always seen "bunnies." Often with reference to the killer rabit in Monty Python: the ideas latch on and don't let go until a) you write them, or b) they kill you dead.)

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
