Hi there! I'm one of the assistant mods for the group. I hope I can answer your questions.
Monday through Friday, we generally have a theme which you have to follow when you post your prompt. For example, say the Theme is 70's TV, your prompt would be something like "Starsky and Hutch, Ken Hutchinson/David Starsky, Love". You're allowed to make five prompts but only three in the same fandom (Marvel Cinematic Universe counts as one fandom, despite how many versions there are). If one of your prompts is filled - i.e., someone posts a story for your prompt - you can post a new prompt. Sometimes the themes are numbers - like today's theme, which is 38 word fills - all fills for the prompts must be 38 words or in multiples of 38.
On Saturdays, there are no themes - in other words, the Free For All. On Saturdays, you can prompt anything you want.
On Sundays, we do throwbacks - you go rummaging around in previous prompts and pick up to five to post for Sunday. You can also fill past prompts and post them on Sunday. You cannot post any new prompts on Sunday.
While we all love making prompts, it's just as important to write fills for people, too. Fills should follow the prompt (or theme) though we all get it if your story goes off on it's own direction.
We do have a collective group on Archive of Our Own, too, where we can post our fills.
So hopefully that'll give you an idea of what we do. Let me know if you have any other questions!
