Hey all you writers. I need advice. And this is for anyone who knows about 'Sweeney Todd.' Here's the atmosphere of the story to help you vote...

*NOTE* The character's names are not the real one's due to spoiler's.

Collin broke up with Luna about two months ago. Collin is over Luna and is now dating Mitchie. Luna is taking it one small step at a time. Then suddenly she sees that her, Collin, and Mitchie have callbacks for the play 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' and I think the poll below explains the rest.

Now that you know the atmosphere of the story please vote.

I once tried to answer the question of where plot bunnies came from. Here are the results, enjoy my terrible writing! :)

First of all, you may be asking yourself, "What exactly is a plot bunny?"

A plot bunny is a small creature of the mind spontaneously generated when a person thinks, "Wouldn't X make a wonderful book/movie/cartoon/comic?" X is a plot bunny.

Much of the time, these creatures are short lived and swiftly forgotten when we move on to some other new interesting thing passing our way. But some of them are not. Instead, they stick around the remote corners of our minds to occasionally return, bounce around for a little while and depart back into our subconscious.

Sometimes our conscious mind makes the mistake of catching these wild plot bunnies and playing with them for a little while. Plot bunnies, when active, LOVE attention. Nothing makes them happier than to be petted, fussed over and refined. Thus the plot bunny is easily tamed, whereon it develops a personality.

Common are the enthusiastic plot bunnies, who constantly chatter, "Wouldn't it be great if..." While such plot bunnies are good to keep the conscious mind entertained for short periods of time, These plot bunnies need to be bred with the more patient varieties of plot bunny to obtain a viable story. Also, enthusiastic plot bunnies need to be periodically bred into longer lasting plot bunny strains in order to keep the creator interested in completing their project.

Also common are what I term blitz bunnies. They come, they bite the creative mind hard enough to produce something short and hopefully entertaining and then they disappear into the ether. Many short ficlets, single shot comics and short films are results of this kind of plot bunny.

Blitz bunnies and enthusiastic bunnies are the primary strains of the species. Most of the other varieties come about by carefully breeding these two strains together. Unfortunately, exact breeding trees are unique to the conscious in which the plot bunnies reside and fall under the category of "trade secret"image

A few varieties I have encountered thus far:
A sweet tempered plot bunny that waits patiently for an invitation to be petted and played with.
A long lived, hyper agressive strain that clamps down and gnaws on one's rear until the project is finished
A very durable, long lived variety that comes, plays for a while then disappears only to return at some later date and disappear again.
