[Closed] Collecting Short Story Prompts for October 2023
Added 2023-09-30 07:48:26 +0000 UTCOnce again I'm here to ask all of you for short story prompts! I'll take the more popular ones as decided by the number of hearts (or that I particularly like) in the comments and make a poll at the start of the month. The winner will be made into a short story of a thousand or so words.
Not many rules on what you can suggest at the moment. That will mostly be figured out as we go. Besides that, the short story will come out before the end of the next month.
Rules for prompts:
- No NSFW (Patreon would get testy about that)
- No prompts about anything directly related to my current stories (can't be something the MCs would come across)
- Not doing depression or similar
- You may post previously posted prompts as long as you credit the original person to suggest it, but only one such suggestion per person (you can still post as many new prompts as you want)
Comments
An open ended prompt, but basically cartoon network as a real world. Each show is a different planet, and the MC is an individual who gets transmigrated to this universe.

2023-09-30 13:54:08 +0000 UTCA member of a prosecuted nomadic warrior people, who were driven to the fringes of civilization by the evil empire where they have to deal with monsters and strange dangers. They accidentally time-travel to one of the inciting incidents that eventually led to their people becoming nomadic and prosecuted, and the rise of the evil empire. They disrupt things majorly but lack the historical knowledge to recognize what going on and believe they've only been teleported through space at first.

2023-09-30 09:53:44 +0000 UTCStory Prompt: Real Dream Sequence The MC decides to undergo a Dream Sequence for Plot development. They fight their inner daemon, master a power within them this whole time, receive a prophetic vision, all making total perfect sense with no logic required. Then they wake up, and proceed to forget everything except the weird bits, then forget those too.

2023-09-30 09:44:19 +0000 UTCStory Prompt: "I work alone..." A story about a total edge-lord, dark and broody who always works alone, bonus if they're a ninja. The twist, they are literally more powerful when fighting alone, and get weaker when in a team. "Hoh? You approach me? Instead of running away? Have you learned nothing from last time we fought?" "We did learn, Dark Solo Blade Knight! We brought reinforcements, but this time, not ours" "!!!" ~ ""Dark Solo Blade Knight! We're here to help out!"" ~ "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
