Why *is* shiny a good thing? Why not matte? And why do people have "plot bunnies"? Why not plot armadillos? And why on earth do people squee? Why not... something else?
Plot bunnies area fanfic thing, I guess. I thought they were related to dust bunnies. Dust bunnies, multiplying as they do underneath the dresser where I don't see them until they make themselves known is much more like what happens to plot inspiration in my head than bunnies boinking each other like, well, bunnies.
In NaNoWriMo, there's plot ninjas, which refer to the inspiration that sneaks up on you and pounces with an idea so strange and wonderful you have to use it, even if it makes no sense.
