Welcome Humans!
(and computer stealing cats)
I know we've had forums to post writing prompts before, but it doesn't look like anyone has used those in years. So I decided to make a new one. If no one uses it, that's fine, but if people do use it, great!
This is where you go if you have writer's block and would like a prompt, if you have a story idea but don't think you can go anywhere with it, or if you just have some fun prompts to post or want to write a new story but don't know where to start.
A few rules:
- 1. Prompts can consist of summaries of ideas, snippets of poetry to get someone inspired, dialogue, paragraphs, activities to do (eg. take a book, flip to a random page, and write a story based on the fifth word on that page,) lists to continue, and anything else you can think of! (Extra points for creativity! : D )
- 2. Remember to follow these rules: https://www.youngwriterssociety.com/viewtopic.php?f=402&t=3k https://www.youngwriterssociety.com/viewtopic.php?f=402&t=98161 Any prompts that do not follow the YWS rules will be reported and removed.
- 3. Please refrain from posting topics that may contain content that is inappropriate for younger writers. If you really need to put swears in your prompt, put them in asterisks.
- 4. You can only post a prompt twice per day, and you are limited to only reply with a post with five prompts in it at once. (example with prompts will be posted below)
- 5. No picture/image/video prompts, please. Only words.
- 6. If you write something for one of the prompts posted here and then decide to publish it on this site, please include a line at the top of your work before publishing that says something like: Inspired by [insert username here] and include the username of whoever came up with that prompt.
- 6 1/2. You can also just write a story for one of these prompts in a blog post or something, and then leave a link to it (with a tag of the username of whoever suggested the prompt) in this thread.
