One of the changes that I've noticed in my writing recently is that story ideas are much more likely to come with plot. Previously it had generally been a character, or a scenario, or a worldbuilding detail (often a "what if X worked Z way instead of Y way?") -- but usually static. But within the past year or two, while the story-seeds are often the same sort of thing, they will come with plot, or at the very least, direction, a string that if I keep pulling on it will lead me to what turns out to be a plot, to mix my metaphors.
