The attack of the plotbunnies

Apparently, my muses sold their fickle souls to the dark side. No, seriously. They're evil.
Here I am, wanting nothing more than find some time to finish at least one or two of my never-ending WIPs, and what happens? Do I get the necessary inspiration? No, I don't. Instead, the frigging stories start spawning wildly eclectic plotbunnies, so that I can have even more unfinished WIPs for the next two hundred or so years.
You remember my new Criminal Minds story, the one that I've only posted to my Insane Journal for a test run? I intended to finish that one in, oh, six to eight chapters. I got so far as Chapter 4, with extensive fragments already written for later chapters.
Then the plotbunny went into hibernation. But not before spawning another Criminal Minds crossover bunny. This time with Startgate: Atlantis. Set after the first season of SGA, contemplating the "what if" possibility of Dr. Spencer Reid getting hired for the Atlantis expedition. As he's canonically graduated from CalTech - the very same place where I had Kavanagh study, and later work, in all my Atlantis stories. From that realization on, there was no more way back. I've already worked the whole frigging story out in my head, up to "Critical Mass", in which Reid would put his years as an FBI profiler to good use to clear Kavanagh from suspicion.
Yeah, I'm clearly insane. I know.
And if that wasn't enough, my current reading of Marcus/Neroon fanfic has finally nudged the long-hibernating plotbunny for the Still Not in Kansas sequel. After four and a half frigging years!
How am I going to ever finish anything at this rate?

I watched the Earth: Final Conflict episode with Steve Bacic in it today on Tele 5. He was a lot younger back then, and either pumped full with steroids or lived in a fitness studio, but boy, did he look hot! And naked to the waist, too. Mmmm... I'm such a dirty old lady sometimes.

For inspiration and time to write, I'd also turn a blind eye to the plot bunnies plot for world domination.

Well, yeah, I'd have lots of further suggestions, but it's the only canal with regular sci-fi, so I'm not complaining.
