Writing Prompts #278 & #279


Welcome back one and all, for another prompt this fall. Grab your pens and get set, lets see who'll take up this bet.

 

Prompt 278 – Creative
Tag – First Line
“Please, I can explain.”

 

Prompt 279 – Creative
Tag – The Attraction
You have been hired to create a new attraction at the amusement park. You were told to let your imagination run wild, but your attraction had to tell a story. Explain the attraction to us.

 

Usually at this point I present a current prompt story for your reading. This week however I wanted to show just how some people have used these prompts. While some have made a simple prompt story for others they became part of longer on going tales. Here are some examples of the interesting ways the authors of GA have used the prompts. Enjoy!

 

James Savik - Case: Black - Zombies and so much more - https://www.gayauthors.org/story/jamessavik/caseblack

 

Mann Ramblings - So Little Magic Left - An outsider, magic, elves, and orcs and that is just the first two chapters! - https://www.gayauthors.org/story/mann-ramblings/solittlemagicleft

 

Renee Stevens - Line of Sight - A father starting over, a puppy, and lots of choices. - https://www.gayauthors.org/story/renee-stevens/lineofsight

 

Cia - Married to the Enemy - Can an arranged marriage lead to more then just peace? - https://www.gayauthors.org/story/cia/marriedtotheenemy

 

Layla - Broken Prince and Mismatched Eyes - Two men who aren't accepted for who they are become mated. Now will they ever accept each other? - https://www.gayauthors.org/story/layla/brokenprinceandmismatchedeyes

Great idea to feature the stories that have flowed from prompts - i LOVE Layla's Broken Prince and Mismatched Eyes as well as Renee's Line of Sight.  Looks like I have three more for my reading list tho  :-)

Thanks for featuring us, Wayne and thank you for your efforts in giving us ideas to break up the monotony. The prompts have always been a great way of shaking my brains loose and getting me writing when I hit a stalling point. It's a great creative exercise that I think everyone should give a try at least once. It's worth it to watch where different authors take the same idea. :)

http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/story/myiege/promptedtotheedge mine's in for this week!

 

I love prompt based stories.  I think it takes a lot of courage and a lot of willpower to be able to turn what starts out as a one-off and turn it into a feature length story.  Although none of my prompts have ever turned into a longer story, I think that's rapidly about to change!  Prompt 270 has launched it's own story!  Whoohoo!  First time for everything :)  Great feature comic!

I really need to get my eyes checked. I thought it said:

 

"Grab your penis and get set" :P  ((Okay...Count me in!)) :lmao:

 

I've always loved reading the prompts and see what other authors come up with on just a whim.  It's spontaneous and creative.  The stories that I've read that developed in full length stories are great. They are so much fun to read and share. :D

Dae, the prompts never close. Some weeks I have dozens of takers and others none at all. The old prompts offer a lot of variety.

 

KC, only you would have read it that way. :gikkle:

 

Trust me, I know there are more stories out there (I have two of my own but didn't think I should list them) so if an author wants to add to the prompt list of longer works let me know.

 

And thank you Miy and Never. Nice to know I will have choices for next week. :lol:
