>Once, I was at a convention where Terry Pratchett (author of the Disk 
World series) was speaking. Mr. Pratchett suggested that he could never 
use ideas that were sent to him or posted by fans of his books, as that 
would open him up to possible lawsuits. If someone had a great idea for 
a character or plot point, he certainly wouldn't want to steal it from 
them, and he encouraged people to use their own creative ideas in 
original material. 

Although I've been told he used to lurk on lists and ask advice from university science students about how to make something work!
