Plotbunny dilemma.

[amanuensis1]

Arrgh, this is tricky. I'm working on my potential plot suggestions for my merry_smutmas requests, and the problem is that my desired-to-read post-DH plotbunnies are also those I'd like to write. What do you think? If I request a plotbunny that I also want to write myself, will that kill my desire to write it in the end? And if a fic like that is written by someone else will it seem copycattish if I go on and write another one?

because it might be seen as saying (even if you didn't mean it to), that you thought what you received wasn't good enough.

There's a whole other aspect of the problem! You're wise to point it out. ^_^ Yeah, I think that the best point to take from these very sensible responses is to ask oneself how specific it is. Nobody's going to be upset by multiple "Post-epilogue Harry/Draco" fics but six of "the rainbow connection horcrux-destroyer," yeah, that might give them pause. ^_^
