That free writing prompt generator website burned me bad
Spent 8 hours using this free prompt generator site for a short story contest. Got disqualified because the prompts were apparently pulled straight from a copyrighted book. $0 spent but lost the $500 prize.

Man you got burned too? I used one of those things for a writing workshop once and ended up with a prompt that was almost word for word from a Stephen King short story. The group called me out and I looked like a total hack. Eight hours is rough though, that really sucks about the contest.

It's like @the_joseph said, everything's getting recycled these days.
