da i think that's their strength in terms of fic? like you have a lot of creative freedom lmao
i didn't make it up that was the real thing lmao
but yes to all sorts of stupid summary contests

Since I'm a nerd, here is some analysis:
If my counting is correct then after three weeks kprompts had a total of 117 prompts and 16 fills. This means that the fill to prompt ratio is about 1 in 7 or 14%.
In the first three weeks of seoulfulness the fill ratio was about 16%. In its prime I estimate seoulfulness to have had a fill ratio of about 20-30%. But about half of its fills were for exo or infinite.*
The absolute number of fills and prompts for seoulfulness was higher, but kprompts tends to be a place for nugus/rarepairs/etc so you can't really expect the same numbers in this amount of time. Having said that, the more the better, since to survive it requires constant activity.
I think diversity is important too... leaning too much on one fandom will turn people away.
Some other stats:
- there are more prompts for m/m pairings (54%) than f/f pairings (25%), but the fill ratio is the same.
- 16% of prompts are for cross overs.
- 9% of prompts are for het.
- 12% of prompts are for gen.
In conclusion, this was probably not interesting to anyone.
*This is a guess. I didn't really count.

lol you're qt
i think you and a lot of other people are too focused on the fills. i think fills are awesome but they're not what's most important to me. i enjoy browsing prompts and i think there is a value in this too. too much focus on the fills makes me sad, it's like only aiming for the cumshot and forgetting about the road (lmao what is this analogy?). i also don't want ppl to feel pressured to fill (iirc some prompt memes support a "try to make a fill for every prompt you make" kind of policy) which is unfair bec not everybody is a writer and they still should be able to leave prompts, and also if you have a load of good prompts you should always post them bec of the possibility of inspiring someone. i think that should be the primary goal of a prompt meme, not producing fills just because.
that said, regardless of whether you're in it for the prompts or the fills, it needs, as you say, constant activity. and i also agree abt diversity, i like that this is so nugu-centered and that no bigger group heavily overshadows any other. ik it took seoulfulness a few weeks to get rly active but kprompts has during it's month been declining and i can't help getting a bit worried at this. i just don't know how to increase the activity and get more ppl invested?? maybe ficdom isn't big enough or active in the same way necessary to sustain a prompt meme like this. (wow i'm taking this way too seriously but still)

da but i think that it's summer might be part of the problem? it seems to me like things are slow anyway with all the exchanges and stuff going on.
rly? i'd think it's the other way around. granted there's lots of exchanges but on the other hand a lot of people (well me at least lol) are on vacation and have more time than ever to write. seoulfulness was rly active (fill-wise anyway) in august.
idk in every fandom i've been in summer is a downtime for ficdom. me, i write more when i'm busy lol
This is an interesting point. I was thinking about my own thought process to some extent, which is: what is the probability that someone will fill this prompt? I prompt in the hope of it being filled, but I get your point, since just reading prompts can be fun too. I guess what I was aiming at was some kind of 'measure' of the activity level.
The activity level matters because people won't get motivated to participate unless they feel like other people are participating too (which is a kind of prisoners dilemma). I'm not quite sure how to solve this.

oh well then maybe there's no reason to worry. now that i look at it, seoulfulness was also pretty active in september and october
i think more aggressive advertising would help (see: tumblr. i've had some success pimping my own fic on there) but just patience.
yes ita, it's only fun if there's lot of ppl doing it. sometimes i post prompts just for the sake of activity but i also try to refrain from it because i want it to be sincere. since i know that when i write fills i often hope that the prompter will be happy, i think it's not fair that i would post prompts that i am just mildly enthusiastic about. (it's sort of the cumshot thing again, doing things just for the sake of it and i don't like that.) of course i also post most of my prompts in the hope that it will get filled, but i won't refrain from posting a "weird" prompt just bec it's not likely to get filled, someone can always be inspired by it. i think the best way to measure the activity is to simply look at the comment count?
yes ia i hope mod will advertise on tumblr. what other sites could be worth a shot? (lol anon get that exposure)
aff maybe? i'm not really sure how advertising works there. (lol u__u)
the comment count for kprompts obviously pales in comparison to seoulfulness, but like I said, kprompts is more nugu orientated (a good thing imo) whereas seoulfulness was driven by a couple of heavy weight fandoms, so I decided that it might not be a fair comparison.
oh wow yeah you're right. but i think rather than a fair comparison, maybe it's an accurate comparison? i think even nugu-oriented things need a certain amount of activity to stay alive. it's tricky that there's so many groups and that most people would only be interested in a few of them, but then again maybe collected activity can serve as activity regardless? idk
not to be like that, but do we really want a bunch of aff writers in there u____u
good point. the nugu/multi-fandom aspect does make it harder because you have to somehow round up all the nugu fans first to get them to participate, and the fans are probably quite dispersed.
Not to call you out, Anon, but are you suggesting that having no authors is preferable?
