Why Not Just Write It?

[ithildin]

I'm always slightly befuddled when I see someone propose a fic challenge with so many specific details, you're left wondering why they don't just write it themselves!

It is possible that the prompter is unable to write at all and therefore is hoping someone else can. But then I'm a bad person who would dictate what a picture would look like if someone drew it for me because although I can write, I cannot draw anything except crooked stick figures.

Ah, but you're OUR heartless bitch.

Actually, so am I. Usually I just murfle to myself though. I'm a closeted heartless bitch.

Although, now that I think of it, and I think you made this point already, so I'm not being original at all... Usually those detailed prompts are simply cluttered with cliches and drivel.

Awwww [sniff] You say the sweetest things.

I usually just keep my mouth shut, or my fingers roped as the case may be. But every now and then I have to let my sarcastic snarky self be free!
