[Closed] Deciding the Short Story Prompt for June 2022
Added 2022-06-01 23:29:05 +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.
- Paladin of Rot - All gods have a light side and a dark side, but none are as honest about their darkness as the god of Rot, Decay, and Plague. He has very few worshippers other than the occasional brewer or cheese maker. Certainly none who understands his proper place in the world. Until now. A farmer’s son hates the idea of farming, but has always been fascinated by compost. Taking trash and dead things and turning it into nutrients that help plants grow. He decides to pledge his service to the god that removes waste and renews the earth.
- Ritual Caster - Nearly everyone is able to use magic. 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.
- God of Atheists - The MC hated the idea of God's, and followed a philosophy of a godless moral. He propagated this philosophy to such heights that he became the God of atheism/godless.
Comments
The rules don't prohibit it. You just need to get enough hearts when suggesting it. Also, if you are copying a previous suggestion, please credit the person who originally suggested it.
