This is a perfect amount of prompt freezes! We had fewer before, it was fucking hell on earth. 2500 and 5000 is not bad at all and it gives the authors who actually fill things a chance to actually read the prompts and post things that don't get drowned in the flood. This one's only slowed down today because it's the day the freeze is supposed to come off.
Speaking personally I'm hanging back from posting any new parts of fic or commenting on anything in fear of the imminent deluge of prompting. I tend to stay away from the current prompt post entirely in the first 24 hours after a freeze ends because it's just a giant wave of prompts posted without the OP looking at them again, and half of those are samey or thinly veiled reprompts anyway.
