The current trends of "OMG I have to write exactly to this prompt/OMG I have to come up with the perfect prompt that isn't pushy or demanding OR uninspiring or dull" are so....not my thing
I look at those and I'm not stressed out as an author (although I stress at thinking that my letter is going to get picked apart by anonmemes who assume bad faith - working on it) because I know ODAO and I'll do my best but sometimes even my best is simply not precisely what they want. But I think of all the poor stressed-out exchange participants trying to avoid DOIN' IT RONG so they don't end up publically lambasted for writing something that an anon disapproved of.
