Answer 1

Holly Lisle in her book "Mugging the Muse: How to write fiction for love and money" writes:

I can come up with a hundred usable ideas for novels without breaking a sweat. So can you. So can anyone. Novel ideas aren't unique, they aren't rare, they aren't breathtaking. They are the nitrogen of the idea world – plentiful, everywhere, and only useful if you know what to do with them.

Why do I mention this? Because it will be a rare conversation I have with a beginning writer that doesn't include within it the question, “How do I keep other people from stealing my ideas?” or “How do I copyright my ideas?”
(or how do I sell my idea?)

If you aspire to write novels and you're worried about protecting your ideas, breathe a deep sigh of relief now. You don't have to worry anymore. Every idea you're ever going to have for the writing of your novels has already been written more times than you can count. And will continue to be written long after you and I are dust (if civilization doesn't blow the planet into oblivion.) And that is fine.

Ideas aren't the engines that make novels run.

Answer 2

Well, anyone knows if it's a good or bad idea unless you express it and it wouldn't be genuine as we have our own extraordinary ideas from epiphanies!

Answer 3

Get in touch with a publisher, without further delay: your idea may coincide with someone else's, and you may lose an important opportunity! good luck!
