I've got this
'(org-capture-templates
(quote
(("a" "Normal add" entry (file "~/org/notes.org")
"* %(plainutc)\n%x%?"))))
But it wants to put my captured things into ~/org/notes.org . Is there any
way to have it prompt for which buffer to add to -- or even just put it in
the active buffer?

You could either use "file+function" or "function" and write a function to
find location or file/buffer and location, respectively. See the
‘org-capture-templates’ docstring.
(file+function "path/to/file" function-finding-location)
A function to find the right location in the file
(function function-finding-location)
Most general way: write your own function which both visits
the file and moves point to the right location
Functions take no arguments and in the case of file+function, the function
is run from the file buffer.
Example:
(file+function "~/doc.org"
(lambda ()
(org-goto-local-search-headings
(ido-completing-read
"File note to: "
(org-element-map
(org-element-parse-buffer)
'headline
(lambda (hl)
(and (= (org-element-property :level hl) 1)
(org-element-property :title hl)))))
nil nil)
(forward-line 1))
:prepend t
:empty-lines-after 1)
Hope it helps,
Rasmus
