Aditus

This is an experiment. I attempted to write a chamber slice-of-life piece: small space, small number of characters, two actually, not counting the cats.

I'd like to see the poetry anthology again. And, of course, the Prompt Team event....

Western are not my cup of tea, but here you'll find some gems.

We all read, and/or have written a story in first person, third person (limited, omniscient), but what about second person? There are some great examples where writers have used this POV. I thought we would expand our horizon, get out of our comfort zone, stretch our wings, and try something new. PT #307: Write a vignette, or something longer, where you address your reader. PT#308: Write a short piece, poem, whatever you like, and address yourself. And because there is another possibility, and I feel like overachieving today: PT#309: Write a story and address one of the characters: Please include the prompt number either in your story/chapter description or title to help readers who would like to search for specific prompts. Also, please remember that stories less than one thousand words must be posted as part of a collection. If you check the subgenre ‘prompt’ in your story tags, then people/readers can find everything here: https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/subgenre/prompt/

That's a possibility I considered when I wrote the prompt. or paranormal double entendre?

I already promised @Headstall a sequel for the anthology, but I don't have the time for two stories....but there's always Halloween.

It’s that time where we stumble over pumpkins everywhere: on the internet, in the grocery shop, and on our neighbor’s giant inflatable witch. Let’s start early with writing about creepy creatures this year. PT Prompt #305: Interview with a Vampire? Boring; read the book, wore the t-shirt, watched the movies plus sequels. Yawn. You’re working for a blog, and your boss has the brilliant idea to interview a ghost. She sends you to an allegedly haunted house where you wait for the interviewee, voice recorder at the ready. PT Prompt #306: If I could talk to my favorite anime character, it would be Sebastian Michaelis, and if it were my favorite game’s character, at the moment, it would be Vincent Valentine. I know, I know, a little demonic, but it’s that time of the year. How about you? Talk to your favorite characters, be it in a game, book, movie, anime, whatever. Make it a little spooky, if possible.

@Valkyrie although with my prowess at procrastinating, I probably won't start till the week it's due No way, other people need to complete their story too, and won't have time for anything else like.... beta reading....

Come on, you wanted me to read the entire story again.

That's what I wanted! Great. I can sense that you two had fun.

That's my kind of collab too.

The prompts are meant to inspire, this time a collab; the rest... anything goes.

A few months ago, I encouraged authors to try writing a collaborative story. No one took the gauntlet. Now, I read about taking down the site by writing a collab story. Should we try this again? PT #299 Write a collab story. a) Discuss alternately about an anthology theme. b)Two or three people go to a party. Write the story from their perspectives. PT #300 As a nod to the upcoming anthology: The MCs lie on a blanket in the park, watching the sky. They try to spot creatures formed by clouds and attempt to show them to each other. (This is supposed to be a collab, too.)

A unicorn vampire is an oxymoron. I'm curious how you manage that. A virgin maiden vampire created it/her/him? And the deadly weapon is not the horn but the tail because vampires love to decapitate their opponents. 😁

Prompt Team Event

Thank you, Cole.

Thank you so much, Gary! I'm glad the story could change your mood. More...hmm maybe...aliens are creatures. Right?

But we wanted to visit the Maldives!

Thank you! And there's always a newer model. ❤️

Thirdly! As always...awesome. Thank you.

You totally got Arden! Thank you for your comment, Ben. ❤️

Cool! Thanx, Chris.
