So my Yuletide signup might just take forever this year. I'm terrible at coming up with prompts - I always want to come up with something particularly awesome and it doesn't help that my mind invariably goes blank when you put an empty form in front of it. And when I do finally come up with a viable prompt, I go "Hmmm, well, actually..." and write 5,000 words of fic for it. Apparently. So far there's just the one time, but it might become a habit.
Discuss! How do you awesome people come up with prompts for ficathons? Do you plan them out beforehand, or are you seized by inspiration at the last minute? And, on a related note, what do you like seeing in a ficathon prompt? Have you ever been stuck with too much detail, or too little?
