Fandom Question: Should you re-prompt?

[lightofdaye]

So, lots of fests going at the moments. Lots of prompt forms to be filled out in the hopes they'll be filled. Like say this fic. (stealth rec: that's a harry/pansy fic you really should read)

But anyway, the question: do you put the same prompt in many fests? Does it make a difference if their fests at the same time. Or re-prompting it in a later fest.

what is fandom's etiquette and protocol on this? I mean I assume it would be no problem. (aside if its the same people reading each time they're still not likely to pick it up) But then there was that fest especially for reprompting which makes me think it might be a no-no the rest of the time.

I'm guilty of requesting a lot of the same characters and pairings, but I try to change up the actual prompts from fest to fest. The point is to inspire someone, right? How can writers/artists be inspired when they see the same prompts over and over?

fair enough, though i hope fests would have some variety in potential authors.
