Now, as Squinky and Melanie68 have argued, an idea isn't worth much until it's put into use. I partially agree. But this isn't about value - it's about the creative process. Even if you don't plan on doing anything with it, it's a good creative exercise which makes you rethink things you've taken for granted and practice creative work. This seems like a worthwhile goal in itself. But the larger issue is that when you have a random idea and you don't even tell anyone about it, that is an idea completely wasted.
Then maybe most people around here have better things to do than think up creative, innovative adventure game ideas, and those who don't have better things to do are actually doing something about their great ideas. You people should really peek into the Underground section of this site more often.

As for sharing your music, couldn't you just find some web space at which to host it, then post the links here?
