I'm never looking under your bed, though.

Just saying.

Look under mine. I'll whip up your nighty and smack your arse

I thought plot bunnies were rabbits the zoo sells to children to feed the snakes.

NO Jimmie shame on you ... those are PILOT bunnies

A story idea that an author either doesn't have time or inclination to develop fully, so it is given away. Ideas sometimes tend to "breed like rabbits," thus, plot bunny.

Thanks for the explanation.

I’d never heard the expression, until I started posting here. But, I wondered where it came from.
