I have been mostly lurker in different fandoms for a long time. Maybe it is due to my lurker status, but I always viewed a prompt on a kink meme as a humble suggestion, an inspiration, not a thing that I demand to be filled or I hav to fill. WhenI make a prompt I just throw things out there and if they are filled: "Super awesome! If not: "Oh, well. Whatever." What is the ratio between prompt made and filled prompts? 1 to 100? 1 to 50? One of my most sucessful fics I wrote because of a prompt on a kink meme and it turn out to be a very personal text. I never expect my prompts to be filled. How could I? I fill prompts only if they strike me in a special way. I would never dish out a half baked souless fic to make an unknown person on the internet happy. This way it is very easy for me to ignore prompts I don't like.
Is this view point so different from everybody? Because I am under the impression that at last some people see prompts as demands and then get angry about it, because this demands seem to be impossible to fill. Let me known how your expectations are. As a writer and as someone makes a prompt.
