Prompt 316, which was a picture tag of a cool old car with white wall tyres, inspired my very favourite prompt story:

The Long Wait

I miss picture tags, I usually did pretty well with them. Not My Brother was a picture tag prompt (I forget which number) which got out of hand and turned into it's own story. Can we have some more maybe?

The trip prompt triggering something, I have always dreaming and planning about. So I might tag along with this prompt this time, hopefully...

Must be Prompt 323 Can I talk to you? I've used it three times already in my prompt based story about Rob & Co. The first time was probably the best. I made Irri yell: ROB! That kid needs to grow some tact....  

My favorite 'normal' prompt is the very first piece I every wrote here (213). My favorite poetry prompt is the Rondo prompt. Or the Ballade? Anyway, I like 546. Maybe I find the time.

We haven't done picture prompts for a while, for a couple of reasons.

1: comicfan is without a computer which makes uploading the photos difficult

2: Pictures are generally posted using a image link, and if the photo that the link is to gets deleted, whether on purpose or accidentally, it makes it a broken link and no one can see the picture to do the prompt.

I haven't written very many 'real' prompt responses, but I am rather proud of my first prompt ever written for GA, prompt 438. The story was a response to the prompt and specifically all the calm, cool and collected vampires that flooded GA that week. 

My story of the shy vampire Levi sort of grew into a whole story (with some whispered hints by my muse JohnAR ) and I'm still surprised I had it in me.

I've only done two so far - do I qualify? Well, I think I like the second one the best. A response to prompt 511 (one of the orphan prompts given a second outing) blending robotics with Lewis Carroll.    https://www.gayauthors.org/story/northie/amilate/2

Enjoy ...

How on earth in comicfan surviving without a computer???? (My mind has literally just exploded as I sit here with three computers within touching distance)

Even with image link issues, perhaps once the new software is ironed out, perhaps we could try again?

My favorite story that I’ve written and based on a prompt would have to be the one I titled Max Cauler after the main character. The story is in reaction to Prompt 381 – a challenge prompt with the tag of “Uncomfortable Situation.” At just over 1,000 words, this story was perhaps one of the hardest of my prompt stories to write. Who knew at the time, and certainly not me, that I was a glutton for the punishing effort of hard work, and through that effort that I would go on and turn this story into a much larger work? By rewriting and adding nearly another 5,000 words I turned my short story into a full-fledged anthology piece for the 2015 Spring Anthology – Full Circle. What a ride that second version of Max Cauler set me on.

I loved that picture and it gave me one of my favorite prompt responses also.

Renee, I'm putting in my vote for Picture Prompts at least once a month. If you need pics let me know I have a bit over 5,000 of them and would be willing to pick some interesting ones to share.

Oh prompts .. i love them when i have the time. 

My fav has to be 447: The Gift ... it was the beginning of my love affair with two fav characters of mine, Faris and James.  I love them. 

There have been nine Faris and James stories to date.  Other great prompts.. AC Benus' Poetry prompts and his O. Henry Prompts have been so much fun to write. 

Prompts are perfect when you want write and need a kick up the backside to get you moving.  Love prompts!

Thanks, Adi. Those are two challenging - and rewarding - poetry prompts you chose.
