[Closed] Deciding the Short Story Prompt for August 2022
Added 2022-08-04 04:50:37 +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. The short story will be finished by the end of the month and will be available to all patrons.
Merchant Skill Battle - Two neighboring kingdoms have decided to sign a new trade agreement involving their resources, produce and services. Each kingdom sends their Merchant's Guild Master as representatives along with specialist advisors and guards. As far as the guards are concerned, its a rather boring affair. For the merchants though, it is a back and forth battle of Skills like [Logistics], [Foresight], [Cost vs Gain], [Barter], [Detect Falsehood], [Sense Motive], etc.
Hero Trains the Demon King - the last hero defeated the demon king and saved the world . Some time has past and a new demon king came and with him a new hero. the problem is the new hero got to much power from gods and a demon king will be a breeze. So instead of the old hero training the new hero he goes to train the Demon king or maybe be the hidden last boss after the demon king is defeated.
Trade Secrets - This one is a bit of an Author's choice option as besides the two above, the other options all received the same number of likes. Also, "Trade Secrets" is the entire prompt and so I don't end up spending a year and a day trying to think of what that means, the prompt now represents a young noble canceling a trade deal with some peasants that his family had kept in place for years because it was too good for the peasants, only for him to learn there was a secret to it that wasn't passed on because his father died early.
