Eh, it's been ages since I've been active over there, I figured what say do I have. But hopefully that will change!
I got that feeling too, especially with some people's. (I still remember that superhero one somebody wrote ages ago, where the superhero was named after one of the prompts. I couldn't stop facepalming.)
Which is to say, I understand where the rule came from, and agree it seems sensible and fair enough, but damn if every time I see those prompts I don't think something like "hey, I know this is supposed to be an action, but it's also a noun, and that'd work great in a story where...". And lol, I see what you did there.
Yeah, I had to recheck the rules there, myself -- I only ever wrote one fic for them, haha. But the more prompts the better, I figure.
