I share thought process
I'm writing the prompts, I'm writing.
I do have a problem though. Some of the ones I got from the meme, plus some of the ones I get from my usual prompts community, they all lead me in one direction. Keep picking at the same wound.
With that, I have two problems. A, just how many times can I write the same basic story obsessively before everyone is sick and tired of it, and B, well, some of the things would be perfect for happy smut, and all I get is torture and torment and lack of joy. Which would probably bring... sharper reactions in readers, maybe, but, I don't *want* to write misery.

no subject
Yeah. I can never really predict what I can take, and most of the time it's a matter of tone rather than content. So how to judge? I have to do it on a case to case basis. Because I like your style, I could probably handle more darkness than with another writer. But it's fairly complex, and not predictable.
