Reply to comment by Spinjitzu-Master in [WP] You're a renowned author who's still going to school. Annoyingly, your English teacher is reading way too deeply into your books. by stopeatingbuttspls

I really feel like I did stick to the specific prompt, and it was just like what you're saying, a different take on it. Given the vagueness of the prompt what I wrote feels reasonable to me.

The prompt didn't say that it had to be " what would an author do if they're stuck reading their own book in a class, with the teacher reading way too much into it?" as the above poster says.

It says "Annoyingly, your English teacher is reading way too deeply into your books."

My take on that is just as valid as the next person's, and my take was that the english teacher was reading too deeply into murder mysteries, alerted the authorities, and the story picked up there. Is that not just a different take?

It looks like you just got unlucky. One of the notes of the bot says "Prompts don't have to fulfill every detail."

There have been many prompts where people deviated and got complaints, but the general agreement has always seemed to be that prompts provide inspiration, not a strict framework. The bot even recommends other subreddits for those who want to see stricter adherence to the prompt.
