Procedure for dealing with new ideas?

[chordatesrock]

I'm afraid I keep getting new ideas. Is there an established protocol for this? Should I add them to the list when they cross from premise to plotbunny? Should I put them on hold until next year?

I think it works that was for me because I've come to hate the looming sense of doom of a partially-posted (because partially written) story — and enjoy the exhilaration of "it's done!" — so much that I force myself to finish WIPs before allowing myself to be tempted by new fandoms. ~ And to clarify on your earlier comment - for me, it's not so much that "I get the ending when the story crosses from premise to plotbunny" but that it's the delivery of the ending by my subconscious that promotes the story from "an idea simmering in my head" to something that I actually start writing out.
