Transcript by OP

I hate all these Inktober-inspired "1 work/prompt for each day of the month" type fic challenges. Publishing a fic a day is a really fun challenge for a writer, but what results tends to be a bunch of same-y stories that barely do anything with the concept/prompt and basically just... end, because the writer doesn't have time to write anything longer. It's worst with whump and H/C fic because those genres work so much better when the suffering is long and protracted rather "a bad thing happens on speedrun." I just really wish writers would put their time and writing challenge discipline into writing a single meaty, complex, ambitious fic rather than 30 "nothing happens" ficlets of blah.

(Nothing against the challenges depicted in the secret in particular, I just liked their prompt layouts.)

You're real for this anon

This is why each prompt became a chapter, or I limited myself to a drabble per prompt with the strict limit of 100 words.
I don’t have time to do these challenges any longer, but I hated how same-y prompt fics could get so I figured out how to challenge myself to make a coherent story from the prompts. You generally get them ahead of time, so it just requires thinking time.

Honestly I'm just happy to see fics of my two OTPs. I'll take what I can get.

[iff_and_xor]

Yeah, I skip most of those because they’re so short and unstructured. I think it works better for explicit smut or short character-focused moments, but even there, I have a bit of special appreciation for people who are posting their Kinktober fics in December and into the next year.

[(Anonymous)]

Me, too. I love when the prompts are actual inspiration for a story.

[(Anonymous)]

SAME. I can always tell what challenge is going on by the samey short fics all posted in a row.

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of agree because yeah, the vast majority of these kind of fics are just like you said - especially in newer and/or huge fandoms.
On the other hand, in one of my previous fandoms I did genuinely like a handful of the kinktober fics there because those writers were on their own level of horniness that I have yet to find anywhere else (I don't want to say what it is since its relatively a small fandom that has fictional characters crossover with RPF of their youtube counterparts - but I actually posted a secret here a while ago about agonizing over losing the kinktober fic that was deleted and I stupidly didn't save. RIP various kinky stories that I miss </3)
