Dunno. I think Inktober was one of the first ones and it inspired a lot of people to have other creative discipline writing/drawing stuff. I know there's Mermay, where you have merperson related stuff for the whole month, and Doggust, where you draw a certain kind of dog every day. They're supposed to be low-pressure and fun, but recently it seems like almost a competiton of sorts to complete them. I know some people "preloaded" for Inktober by doing sketches beforehand, and then posting the correct prompt for the correct day as if they did it on that day instead of beforehand, which isn't needed and sends a bad message to younger artists-- you do not have to be a drawing machine. Part of the whole thing is being able to pick and choose what prompts you want to do and when, if you even choose to do one that day at all. Heck, you don't ever have to do all of them, and it's unrealistic to expect everyone to have the time to do that.

I love the concept of month/themed prompts, but people really need to chill out when it comes to the execution and how they choose to participate in them. It's not a race.

anyways ill get off my soapbox
