I wouldn't like to see that. I mean, there is such a thing as fan feedback that can shape the manga. For example, Hisagi was a fan favourite long before Kubo decided to develop him. As a result Kubo did develop him. However, in doing so he linked Hisagi to Kensei, found a reason for why he had not shown his shikai yet and perhaps somewhere along the line Kubo really got into Hisagi himself and gave Hisagi the kill for Tosen.

However, there's a difference between that and Kubo picked-up raw ideas from fans. I mean, if Kubo ever finds himself in the position where he has to relay on fans for raw story ideas... it's time to end Bleach. I don't even know why you would suggest something like that or indeed, think it was a good idea. It isn't and an author who has to do that has, as I said, run out of creative juice and should quit while they are ahead.
