Need help!

Ummm a question.

How would you describe a Plot Bunny (not mine speicfically but the ones that hit and latch on to you) to someone who has never heard of them....

I'm no good at describing things with words so if anyone could help, I need it before I can go further in the comic.

Thanks

hmmm. a plotbunny is the anthropomorphic representation of the idea for a story. Called "plotbunnies" because story ideas tend to breed new ideas, sort of like rabbits. [g]

^___^ Couldn't say it better than Rose did. It's strange, though, because I'm so used to thinking in terms of muses and plotbunnies, that I have to stop myself from mentioning too much about them to other folks. I remember when I first saw the muse mansion idea that it was a big leap for me to "get" the idea. I mean, character muses? Anthropomorphic (bunnymorphic?) representations of story ideas? Why, for goodness' sake? I'm sure other folks looking in think the same thing about me, now. ^__^

Yeah, I know what you mean, although it didn't hit me as starnge until my brother strated reading the comic and looked at me and asked, "What's a Plot Bunny?" And I froze.

A long completely confused and messed up explanation later, he go it, but I figured I needed to explain it in the comic...

Am bored in class and am typing up the whole script for the first series....

An anthromorphological personification of my burning desire to write crap that no one reads. >D

Seriously, though--they're just a physical manifestation of an idea you have. And since they tend to breed a lot and reproduce quickly, bunnies are the natural form for them to manifest as.
