I Need Your Help With Something


Cynus

879 views

Hello, everyone!

 

I'm preparing for a short story competition in a couple weeks, as well as a personal goal I'm setting for myself in February.

 

The short story competition follows a specific pattern, which I need to practice if I expect to do any good at it, and since the second and third stages of the competition happen in March and April, I intend to practice through all of February.

 

This year I will be doing something I'm calling "Flash Fiction February". I'm going to write a short, 3000 words or less story every day, assuming I can keep it up. I am going to need your help, however, and this is how.

 

I need prompts, and I need them in a specific style (This is the thing I need to practice). During the competition, writers will be randomly assigned a genre, subject, and character assignment.

 

Here are some examples of what I'll be expected to write:

 

Drama / A laboratory / A teacher
Romantic Comedy / Recycling / A bartender
Sci-Fi / Halloween / A bus driver
Horror / A trial / A CEO (Chief Executive Officer)
Fantasy / Luck / A lead singer

 

I would like you, those reading this blog, to comment with a suggestion of a genre, subject, and character like the ones above. Any suggestions will be appreciated. All of these will be posted at GA, and so if you want to see me write something specific, please suggest away!

 

Thank you in advance for your suggestions. :)

I instantly have an idea for this one. Story number 3 is locked and ready to go.

What about starting a prompt thread in the Writing Prompts forum? These could be fun for others to do too :)

 

If you do, just do it as Genre/Subject/Character Prompt
