Revenge of the Premise Bunnies
I thought I'd resurrect an old discussion here. Two years ago, kalloway made a post discussing the differences between a premise bunny and a plot bunny.
Long story short: A premise bunny is a basic idea that lacks the plotty goodness of a proper plot bunny. It's the germination of an idea that resembles a plot bunny, but without having the faintest clue where it's supposed to end up.
I do have quite a few premise bunnies myself. But I'd rather hear about you guys. What's a pet premise bunny for you, and how are you working (or not working) on growing it into a proper plot bunny?

I don't know if it's an original or a fanfic, who the Big Evil was or what they did, or what the town does after. But I'm pretty sure I'll figure out one day. The last time I had a big, Someday I will do this!!! idea, fifteen years later it became an SPN Big Bang :). (The premise was inspired by a theory about what's in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction; what if that glowy thing was the Holy Grail, and what if all kind of people were trying to find it while Our Heroes were trying to hide it away?)
