Yeah, the thing is that the assumption should be that the prompter had gone through AO3. But I get it's someone's best intentions though.

Given how many people prompt things that already exist on AO3 or elsewhere on the meme, assuming they've looked through anything at all is a far stretch.

Just because something already exists doesn't mean people don't want more of it. I can read different versions of the same trope or kink a hundred different times and still want more of it. All fanfiction, by its nature, is repetitive anyways.

I mean, I've read every fic of a certain kink that ao3 has in this fandom, written two, and still would post a prompt for that kink here.

A lot of the prompts are on AO3 in some capacity but probably not in the way some OPs like since common tropes can be done in so many different ways. This is why I like the "+ idea here" concept because it kinda shows how that prompt is different than the run of the mill trip / idea.

I go through AO3 and I will still take all the RTYIs. I want to know what other people have liked that I probably missed.

Exactly this!
