[Closed] Deciding the Short Story Prompt for December 2022
Added 2022-12-03 05:05:29 +0000 UTCBelow are the full prompts as the poll doesn't allow the full text. I'm going to run the poll for five days and in the case of ties the first option that got there wins. The short story will be finished by the end of the month and will be available to all patrons.
- Dungeon Inspector ends up rating a “great” dungeon of over 100 floors as “Too Dangerous” because of its particularly poor survival rate, and in turn bans adventurers from entering it- this causes a Great Depression for the economy of the surrounding kingdom, hijinx ensue as the dungeon tries to idiot proof itself whilst what few adventures able to enter practically throw themselves into unintended death traps.
- Dense Earth - Earth is not magically barren. Instead, the magic is simply too dense for normal magic to function. When a class of magic students from an alternate world get isekaied to Earth, it is only the class dunce, who can only use runes and rituals to cast, that can function normally.
- The Humble Priest - In many stories which feature a Church, particularly a Church of Light/Good Guys, they are almost always corrupt, power hungry and secretly evil (and the God is okay with this???) For once, I want a story where Church members simply perform their duties and nothing more. Providing council for the masses, aid for the unfortunate, guiding souls to rest in the afterlife, etc. All with the full and visible endorsement of their God
