[Closed] Collecting Short Story Prompts for July 2022
Added 2022-06-28 11:01:59 +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

A system apocalypse world recieves a system that gives skills and with them physical traits that better enable the use of said skills. A few hundred years and several generations down the line there are established blood lines and distinct cultures. Our story begins with the MC experiencing his bloodline awakening ritual which announces the skills and abilities of youths to the world as they become adults and the traits come forward.

Sure, some people only manage to learn a few useful cantrips while focusing on other things, but they can still use magic. The MC is different, unable to manipulate mana. However, with the use of runes he can at least cast SOME spells as rituals, and so he studies at the mage's college. A random even causes his class at the college to be transported to Earth. Now, normally you would expect Earth to be a mana dead zone or something, and that is why there are no wizards or anything, but no. There are no wizards, because the Mana Density is so HIGH that it crushes any spell-forms that you attempt to form. Luckily, high mana density just makes the MC's rituals BETTER.

2022-06-28 12:15:00 +0000 UTCStory Prompt: Supervillian Costume Designer The life of a Costume Designer who sees their product a little too often on the news headlines, whose client's activities vary from bank robbing to building giant space lasors. Heck, at least the work is interesting, they get to use all sorts of fancy colors, patterns and weird gizmos to get the best for the clients. Some of the work is challenging too, like that one client who was absolutely an alien, or that shapeshifter who had a giant form, getting stretchy enough fabric for that was a nightmare. But at least the clients love their product, and the job pays well... probably from that bank robbery...
