So the [Poll #1859555]

In other news, my cold is at the point where my head is filled with ALL the snot. Damn you, deviated septum of virus acquisition and snot holding!

I sincerely hope that prompters consider them as guidelines - or I'm about to seriously annoy one of my prompters!

Though in practice, even if you keep exactly to the requirements of a 1000 word 'prompt' the chances that you'll come anywhere near what the prompter was actually expecting are very remote.

I've lost count of the times I've seen (and given) feedback along the lines of 'different from what I expected - but better'.

I've always thought of the ones I give as guidelines: so much so that this year I just wrote 'these are things I like, these are things I don't, go wild!'

And yes, that's so very true! Conversely, I remember apologising to the super-lovely fourth_rose for not really following her prompts at all well and she replied that it was exactly what she wanted ;-)
