2025 Prompt Team Event

Calling all prompters!  It's time for the second annual Prompt Team Event! 

Happy Seinfeld GIF

Anyone who knows me and @Aditus will agree that we like to keep people guessing, so we're changing things up a bit this year.  Prompts are designed to help us grow as writers.  To push boundaries and explore ways of writing or genres we may not otherwise consider.  So this year, we are doing a genre/subgenre challenge! 

 

To participate:

PM either myself or Aditus.  We will assign you a random genre/subgenre. If you would like, you can request two subgenres to choose from.  Prompt responses may be any length, but if they are below 1,000 words, then they must be part of a collection.  If they are 1,000 words or more, then they may be posted as a stand-alone piece.  Responses must follow site guidelines.  Once the story is written, PM me with the link to the story or chapter (if part of a collection) by midnight EST on December 14th, and I will include in the December 18th blog. 

***Do not publish your story/chapter or set the date/time of publishing.  I will set the publish date when I create the blog.  

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

So if I said I LOVE vampires and werewolves then you wouldn’t give that topic to me? 🤞

Wonder what kind of story you'd write. :D 

Haven't written vampires or werewolves yet, either, but I've read plenty of MM romances with them, a little bloody at times and very spicy.

By the way, I really, truly hope I don’t get comedy.

Can you imagine the catastrophe if anyone expected me to be funny on purpose? The sheer awkwardness would be so powerful it’d qualify as a new form of renewable energy. Scientists would study the fallout and weep.

So please, think of the readers.

Think of the children.

Think of the gays.

Spare them all and give me something safe and joyless, like brooding existential horror or interpretive spreadsheet fanfiction.

It's totally random, so it's up to the universe to decide what you get :P  I'll start responding to PMs either this evening or tomorrow.  :devil:

Also, I failed your other prompt challenge. :( But you may PM me another try. I can always finish the other idea in time.

Yeah go ahead and throw me into this. Genre may have to be negotiated.  

If I can’t make the genre work then I’m going to satire it into another I’m Gay : A <insert genre> Story and totally make fun of it. 

So far warning.

Send me a PM and I'll get you assigned a genre/subgenre :devil:

There are way too many genres and sub-genres I’d be uncomfortable with. But with a month lead time, I guess I’m in. Sending PM now.

Be afraid.  I’ve got a genre I’ve never even heard of!  A definite challenge ahead!

I got mine too.... what the ever-loving kind of torture chamber do you think we all belong in @Valkyrie? 

**scratches head and starts Googling all sorts of things related to a genre that could only have come from a truly evil mind**

Ummmmm there is pointing and POINTING! 
 

Still, I’ve got an idea for a little something……. There will be blood, horrific scenes of pain during unbearable torture, human sacrifices, and wieners with rabies attacking innocent babies….. you get the idea?    And it will all be @Valkyrie’s fault and poor GA will have to pay for my therapy.

Well, I got inspired yesterday, and I'm going to run it through grammar checks next.

Is 10K words too much for a prompt?

I blame it on being Saturday, and something I was watching. I had too many hours to write.

I have 73 words so far. Is that good enough?

Correction, 762. I might just make it to 1,000.

There's no word limit for the event, other than what's stated above.  I have the flu, so I will be out of commission for a little bit.  I'll be checking GA periodically, but right now I'm trying to hydrate in between bouts of throwing up and sleeping.  :unsure:
