(Anonymous) 2015-06-09 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)FWIW there are definitely writers like you who like detailed prompts.
I think the minefield lies in the distinction between detailed and demanding.
I like knowing what elements a prompter wants in their fic. It helps focus on the story and sparks ideas. I don't like it (and will not fill a prompt) when there's a lengthy checklist of things a writer HAS to include if they're going to bother filling at all. It doesn't help that most of those demands are for extraneous things that have nothing to do with their original premise, like side-pairings, random non-sequiturs where the characters veer off the plot to do something OOC, random cameos by crossover characters etc.
If you write relatively fleshed out ideas but still leave a writer room to be creative (and don't attack them if they do take some liberties whilst remaining true to the spirit of the original idea) then there's no problem with the length. And conversely, the super demanding prompts aren't always long either.
