Essay prompts scraped from r/WritingPrompts, from dates May 9, 2014 — August 16, 2022 (in an attempt to ensure that all written samples are human-written).

This dataset includes the top 25% voted prompts, given they have a responding comment that has top 25% votes for comments. In other words, each sample in this dataset is only kept if (a) the prompt is in the top 25% of votes for posts and (b) the resulting top comment is in the top 25% percentile of votes for comments. We only take posts with the WP flair.
