...I once had someone link me to my own fic when I prompted something.
As a prompter I've often already read the fics shared and it feels like a bit of a dismissal.
As an author it feels like more work. If a prompt has had someone link to another story that means I have to go at least skim that other story to make sure I don't write anything too similar.
Personally I'm not a fan of it, but what's worst for me is when someone links to another similar prompt. That's just ???
