It’s unlikely that this based on fan ideas. It is more likely that the writers had the same ideas as some fans. Besides some gags (like Derpy or Applelicious), no fanwork is used in the episodes, which is a good idea. Often, fans think that their ideas are good, but most times, they are not. And we have all seen what happens if the professionals let the unprofessionals dictate their work in "Suited For Success". The episodes would turn out just like Rarity’s dresses if they were based on fanwork.
