Hope everyone has had a great week so far and is looking forward to the weekend. What better way to start it off than with brand new prompts! If you've been feeling stuck, or maybe just want to do something a little different, maybe one of these prompts will jumpstart a new idea. A couple of things to remember: Prompt responses under 1,000 words must be posted as part of a collection.

 

Prompt 432 – Creative
Tag – Change of Time
You went to sleep feeling that things would be so much easier if you were born in a different time. When you wake up early the next morning, the first thing you notice is you aren’t wearing the same things you went to bed in. As you look around you discover that everything is different and the styles are old fashioned. When you turn on your television, which is a huge tube television, you discover even the news is a number of decades out of date. What time are you now living in?

 

Prompt 433 – Creative
Tag – First Line
“Where did all of that come from?”

 

This week, I decided to feature Greg_A's response to the second chance Prompt #421. Enjoy:


“Jason!” Zach called, smiling warmly at me as I entered the coffee shop. “It’s good to see you again. I’m glad you were able to make some time to get together on this trip.”

 

“You didn’t really think I’d miss a chance to see my Zachie-bear did you?” I asked, grinning as Zach blushed. “Sorry I’m so late but I had to stop by my hotel and change. C’mere you and give me a hug!” I insisted pulling him into a bear hug. “God knows I need one after the day I’ve had,” I finished as I finally released him and took a seat next to him.

 

Zach was still blushing as he sat back down; public displays of any type always made him feel self-conscious which made me glad I had remembered not to kiss him. I couldn’t help grinning again as I imagined him hiding under the table if I had given him a kiss.

 

“Your meeting didn’t go well?” Zach asked, concern flooding his face. “You didn’t really give me any details when you invited me for coffee.”

I'm sorry but I do not understand what 'prompt responses under 1000 words must be posted as part of a collection' means. Could someone please explain?

 

P.S. You could also direct me to 'Prompt Rules' already posted, if any. Thanks! :)

Hi Tara,

 

What that means is that short stories of under 1000 words cannot be posted as their own story and must be posted as chapters of a "collection of stories". What you would do is create a new story and name it something like "Tara's Prompt Responses" or "Tara's Shorts" (or another name you liked) and then you would post each of your short stories as a chapter of that story.  Here are a couple of examples:

 

Mine: http://www.gayauthors.org/story/renee-stevens/saturdayshorts

Cole Matthews: http://www.gayauthors.org/story/cole-matthews/dinnerisprompt-lyateight

 

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me.
