If you write to prompts or, in an exchange, to somebody else's taste, how do you go from the prompt to the story? Is it a straightforward process?

I tend to need a few days of letting my knowledge of the canon and the prompt stew in the back of my head. I have a harder time working from a traditional prompt than I do from a description of what the prompter loves about canon or in general. I think traditional prompts generally don't have enough context for me. I always feel like there's something missing. Generally, when I start writing, I have only the most general idea of what's going to happen. I have to discover the story by writing it.
