I think he was asking for stories to use as a jumping off point to build off of. I know I tend to do that. Granted, I don't always ask for them, but I do look for them, like if I'm writing a story where a main character is a recovering alcoholic, as a teetotaler, I realise I may need more information about how things work in AA. Granted, the overall trajectory of the story remained roughly the same, but I do think looking into it enriched the characterisation.
I agree with you. I think people are not taking it seriously because a stranger came in and basically asked us to do his work for him. He could have easily searched the forum without saying anything and found what he was looking for but instead he made this thread. So people are kinda like 🤨🤷🏼♀️
