I completely agree with this. If you're going to post your fill to Tumblr or your AO3 or whatever, you're going to de-anon anyway, so I don't see the point in insisting on anonymity for fills.
However, I like the idea of prompting being anonymous, because it prevents possible favouritism (like more well-known/popular fans getting their prompts filled) and discourages wank, which tends to happen when people put a name to a certain style of prompting.
Yup, totally agree. The option of unanon fills seems fair, especially since a lot of people who are for being totally anon are suggesting users add a link to the fill elsewhere if they want to claim it. They may as well cut that step and claim it straight away by posting unanon, if they choose.
A lot of the wank here seems to revolve around specific users, who are obviously recognisable because of their icons. Not saying it's those users' faults (I'm not getting involved in that fight), but they've become easy targets. And that wank is pretty much solely about their prompts. The only wank I've seen directed at fills posted by unanon users is people who are already mad at those unanon users for their unanon prompts. An all anon prompting rule would at least help cut down on that.
I have to say though, certain styles are still very apparent even while anon. It's the style that's annoying, not the user. It could be 100 different people with the same style--I still hate that one style.
