i don't want to sound so negative, but i feel the need to say this after multiple instances.
my posts are not anonymous prompts for writers to snag without credit.
my posts are not "prompts" at all, really. i get ideas and i share them for entertainment's sake. if someone writes about one, sure, that's fine, if they give credit to the post they took the plot from. my issue is that i have had several occasions now where concepts i post get snatched up without credit, and sometimes even what i wrote verbatim gets used.
and the thing is, once that gets shared, what am i supposed to do that doesn't come off as causing a fuss? what quiet way is there to say "hi, you keep calling this a prompt, or just some post you saw somewhere, and you haven't credited me"? what non-confrontational way do you do that?
when someone posts a WIP of a drawing, do you grab it and finish the rest and post it without crediting them? why do that with writing?
i love posting on here, i just wish people would stop taking my ideas and treating them as their own, or as a writing prompt they never were, or as just some post they saw so it doesn't matter who made it.
