r/writingprompts is the saddest subreddit I'm still subbed to. I've been there for years, it's just getting less and less active. What little activity exists is just marvel and fantasy tropes. Superhero this, elves and Paladins that. The replies are frequently run-of-the-mill cliche fests. The saddest part is that the rare gem, the most interesting and unique prompts and the most curious approaches to meagre yet popular prompts get basically no attention.
I just opened it up, top 2 posts are elves and necromancers. It's beyond unfortunate considering what the community could be.
Man, what's wrong with Elfs?
Specifically? Nothing at all. The issue is the deluge of the same stuff, most of the prompts being marvel and Tolkien "inspired" and most of what's written under them being the most mainstream interpretation possible.
too many people want to fuck them and own them as slaves, not enough people want to write about elf john brown
