The one angle from which I feel that it may be inadvisable to recycle a prompt is when someone has already specifically written a distinctive prompt scenario. I wouldn't want the first writer to feel that her interpretation wasn't valued.
(That doesn't really apply to any of my HL prompts in past RarelyWritten/Rarewomen games, though. I did gratefully receive an HL fiction in the '12 game, but it is more a perspective/reflection essay than a plot scenario that could feel "competed with" from the prompt.)
