I...don't remember that Nesh's thing was a prompt?

The Tropes are hungry, the hero is in the wrong story.

(Some of you may recognize this. I didn't come up with it, I found it in the blue pit of despair and thought it would be interesting to see what people do with it.)

Who are you, exactly?

I had hoped this would turn out like the last anonymous writing prompt. People would have fun with it, then after a while the prompter (myself in this case, Nesh last time) would reveal themselves, and normally I would wait more than two and a half days, but the board is moving quickly and it won't be long before this gets buried.

Wasn't that a thing where she made it clear that she was posting anonymously to get our unbiased opinions on a piece she had written based on a challenge? It was a somewhat different thing, wherein the anonymity was explained. I don't actually completely get why you wanted this to be anonymous.

~DF, who's coming from a 3-hour party that isn't actually over yet, so I'm sorry if I sound a bit sharp. I'm getting tired.

You are correct it seems. by Orwell on 2016-12-26 06:26:00 UTC Reply

The "prompt" in the title threw me off I suppose. As for why anonymous, two reasons: one, I thought that anonymous prompts were a thing that was done here (which I suppose means I haven't been lurking aso closely as I thought prior to actually joining) and two, I wanted people to have fun with the prompt and see what they could come up with, without any bias from my name being attached, since I know people aren't terribly fond of me, though I do hope that will eventually change.
