also the "you as an elf" prompt was in the original keeptober, and I wrote self-insert fanfiction for it (because how else do you fulfill the prompt as a writer?) and I still have a copy of it, and it is sort of part of the Catherine Lore, and people love to beg me to share it with them, but i keep it under lock and key. i can't believe this was six years ago.
OMGGG that's SO fun... i will admit i too have written self-insert fanfiction that is SO deeply under lock and key. it's a canon event!!! i remember seeing the "you as an elf" prompt on a keeptober list at one point and i knew i HAD to include it this year... inserting oneself into ur favourite little place is a time-honoured tradition and we can't let it be lost to time !!!!! it's also the prompt i've seen the most people get hyped about <333 SO excited to see what people create!!
