I'll take a stab at trying to answer your questions for you. First off I think creative writing can be taught to a point. The tecnique is what is learned, plot discriptive writing ect. But there comes a time when passion takes the stories beyond that. I think as long as you have that passion for your stories and are willing to work with them which means fighting to make them work you can become a creative writer. It could be a hiden skill of yours that just needs to be flushed out.
As for sending your ideas to authors you like. I would first email the and find out if they have the time or if they are willing to write a story based on your idea. The other option is to colaborate with someone on writing your story. This can be both fun and stressful depending on how you work with. Then the last option would be to simplify your idea as much as possible and turn it into a challenge to post on a groups site/page.
I hope you found this helpful and I'm sorry if it really isn't answerign your questions properly.

IF you ever have questions feel free to ask and I'll try to answer them.
Is writing (story telling) an inate ability or is it something that can be taught? I have so many story ideas in my head but when I sit down to try and put those thoughts into words I come up blank. So I am considering taking some creative writing courses to see if that could possibly help me organize my thoughts into writing.
Also I have considered emailing some of my favorite fan fic authors with my story ideas in hopes that they could write some of my stories if I give them a basic outline. But would that be considered rude espcaially since so many of them have unfinished stories they r working on. I was going to bid in Susan Carr's auction, since I have enjoyed all of her stories, but 2-3k words is short for what I have in mind. Well guess thats it thanks for letting me post this.
