I don't know about the mafia, but it wouldn't come as a surprise.
As for challenges/prompts? I like doing them every once in a while. Though to me, those are generally writing exercises to see where a word might take me. I could just as easily come up with the word(s) myself, but I have fun letting friends come up with them. A real prompt table I've only made use of once and that was for a drabble100 stint. Fun, but not something I'd do again anytime soon.
Plot bunnies are a different thing for me. I don't mind being inspired by friends when we talk about plot ideas, and ask if it's not my own idea, if I might use it as inspiration or if they intend to write it themselves. My own plotbunnies? Are mine! *laughs* If a plot idea isn't good enough for me to sit down and write it myself, then it's probably just as well. It's why I'm not very good at fic exchanges, such as secret santa projects. I'm good at writing what my recipient is interested in, but I stink at making my own request. I keep getting sidetracked by ideas for new fics *g*
Yes, people would do that if you made manips. Ages back, when in Smallville and friend and I did that, as an injoke and people... sent nice feedback. Sarcasm/irony/parody really doesn't work on some people.
