indoor indoor plants?

well i'm a lil low on space, and i want to keep my plants from crossing, so i was thinking i'd just keep the fatalii in my window sill this summer

would it be alright in terms of polination on it's own?
or would i need to take a water color paint brush and polinate it myself?
 
IME, if you pollinate with a damp paint brush you'll get close to 100% pollination. I did it when one of my plants first started flowering and it was great. Capsicum are self pollinating so in theory this shouldn't be necessary, but until you got a lot of flowers I'd use the brush.
Here's a link to Habanero pollination;

More then likely with it being indoors you will have to pollinate by hand. From my overwintered habaneros I've only gotten 1 pod. Everything else has been producing all through the winter.

I'll have to check out the link you provided to see if I can get my fatali to set some pods.
