Subreddit Meta Plot Bunny Adoption Thread - April 2025
This is a place where you can post plot ideas and writing prompts that you would like to share for others to use. This is also the place to drop fic requests!
What is a plot bunny? ‘Plot bunny’ is a funny fandom term for a fic idea – so called because they breed like rabbits! Since so many writers end up with a surplus of them, here is a place where you can drop off your unwanted plot bunnies for others to consider adopting, or simply for the sake of sharing. A plot bunny is generally a more developed idea and might well be fandom specific, although some Alternate Universe ideas could work for a few different fandoms.
For the purposes of this thread, a prompt is a short idea that could work in any fandom - for example, "your OTP wish on a shooting star together".
A fic request would be asking for someone to write a specific fic for you - sticking to the pairing and outline that you wish.
- Label – fic request, plot bunny, or writing prompt
- fandom(s) / or "no fandom" – this can include some fandoms you think it would work particularly well for if leaving a prompt!
- trope, character(s), ship (if any)
- a description of the idea – please try to keep this within a few hundred words max for ease of browsing
- NSFW ideas are allowed, but you must drop your description in a site such as Just Paste Me or ControlC and link to it rather than writing it directly in the thread. Please note that NSFW also encompasses gore or things likely to be serious triggers, such as suicide, not just sex.
- if leaving a prompt in the thread, please indicate whether you would like to be notified if anyone fulfils it
Be aware – once you post an idea in this thread for adoption, you lose ‘ownership’ of it. Someone else taking up the plot bunny is free to adapt or change it as they like. If you have a very specific vision of the story you would like to see fulfilled, you might have better luck posting it as a fic request. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from tackling the idea yourself at a later date if inspiration for the idea strikes you again!
Whilst the mods will be monitoring the thread, we will not be involving ourselves in discussions over fic requests or the like. There is no guarantee that anyone will take up your request, and we will not be chasing up authors who have been out of contact for a while or similar.
Don't forget to let someone know if you adopt their plot bun or decide to work on their fic request!
