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!

My understanding is that they are suggestions. Like, if you want a story concept, here are some I'd enjoy. I think it's actually in the rules that you don't have to write one of their prompts, you just need to pay respect to their likes and avoid their dislikes like the plague.

And personally, as a giftee, I'd much rather receive a story my writer felt personally passionate about than something they forced themselves to write because I left it as a prompt.

If, on the other hand, you're able to fit in some aspects of their prompt/s, then bonus.

I think that's a really important point: the few times I've turned myself inside out to make the fic fit the prompt, I've always felt that the story had to be forced along. (Which is now my retrospective excuse for how late those ones were!)

And I know that I can kick in bits of all their prompts! Just not a whole one of any … Did that classic read the likes and squicks, have idea, then read prompts thing. Schoolgirl error …
