      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.

        I remember in 2011 my girlfriend was taking a creative writing class at community college and the teacher had a no 9/11 plot twist stories. Apparently kids were writing mundane uninspired slop about families eating breakfast and having a normal morning and then one of them would go yet clapped in 9/11 and it would be a sad plot twist reveal at the last second

        “…and then after a breakfast he got on the plane and took off. The day? 9/11/2001. The flight? United 93… The end.”
