Showerthought: My prompt about a lost library book got 47 replies

I posted it as a quick idea for a mystery. The replies built a whole town around it, with a missing librarian and a hidden room. Anyone have a prompt that took off in a way you didn't expect?

Wow, that prompt basically became a community writing project.

Actually it's more like a bunch of people just adding their own spin to the same idea. A real writing project would need some planning and editing together. This is just a fun chain of ideas. Still cool to see, but it's its own thing.
