    One Being to Many

    The writing prompt is this: you are an organism of incalculable size and complexity (how that is expressed is up to you). You go about life as you always have, until one day, through some event (again, this is up to you) the “small” parts that make up you start to gain sentience and/or sapience...

    What's your perspective on cannibalism?

    Well, uh, look at the title. I feel like I've already asked this though. :sweating_profusely: Personally, I feel it is an overblown issue in fiction when others are forced to do it out of necessity and/or the person is already dead. Like, that's the hill you die on? If I needed to, or others...

    Parahuman

    First person creates a power. Preferably one with reasonable limitations that you can see someone getting from their ‘worst day ever’ (berry, berry traumatic experience). Second person breaks it down into six parts called “aspects,” numbered 1-6. Third person rolls SH dice and decides how one...

    Novel Magical Guardian classes

    In a world with litRPG classes, what are some unique classes for Magical Guardians (it's the gender-inclusive term for Magical Girls in this world, but includes boys too) you could come up with? If you could flesh out them as a person, as they can get Skills outside of their class, that would be...

    Worm Fanfics

    What are some really good, long Worm fanfics? I've already read "Will of the Force"; "Plan? What Plan?"; "Legendary Tinker"; (these first three are on Royal Road) and "Russian Caravan" (on Spacebattles), which are peak worm fanfics, but I need more!

    Magical Experiences

    As I try to capture an experience that is truly magical and new to a main character, and as I watch "Oshi no Ko" over and over, I'm reminded of how genuinely world-shaking it felt to watch a musical for the first time in person. It may have been a high school theater version, and I certainly...

    “Super Supportive”: Traumatize the child

    I was reading Super Supportive’s latest chapter, and Stuart’s backstory absolutely broke me. It was shockingly innovative, and I never expected it but it made so much sense, built on an amazingly deep character built off his interactions with the mc. What are some particularly traumatizing kids’...

    Love and Toxicity

    At what point does love become toxic, particularly when a fantastical nature is thrown into the mix? Now, I don’t mean the loli stuff. People have done that discussion to death in other threads and will continue to do so. But, one thing that @MintiLime brought up a long while ago, that I didn’t...

    For the shut-ins

    What is a common shut-in vibe for you? Do you have multiple? I’ll go first! Vibe: The moment your friends start warming up to you, you start thinking they hate you and can’t say the words because they are too nice to actually voice it. Or, they really do like you, and you just can’t handle that...

    Emotional damage!

    I was wondering. Have any of you had a dream that genuinely hurt? That left an indelible imprint in your mind? I had a terrible dream last night. It started with mom showing me my phone and looking at me with a deeply disappointed expression. It was gut-wrenching and it infuriated me. The sheer...

    One sky, two skies, red sky, blue sky

    I was wondering… people associate something truly special with the blue of a crystal clear, sunny sky. If you change the color, it often changes that feeling of freedom and light. But I want to write about a place with a pink sky. And that may make people think of sunsets. I don’t want other...

    Friendship writers block

    I have writers block, but for friends and family online. I get to the site or text app, I have so much to say, and then… blank. Do you have that or something similar? How does it present?

    Monster MC

    High-quality story with a MC who has a nonhuman body please? Preferably a monster, but there are many good, nonhuman types. High-quality, in this case, means no human transformations, more than 4.0 Stars on the site is on, and clean grammar.

    Gesundheit ?

    So, for sneezes, you often say “Bless you”, and for gas of the inappropriate sort for both ends, you say “Excuse you.” But what do you say for coughs? Do just bull ahead and say “Bless you”? Or do you awkwardly ask whether they are ok? Or do you rudely say “Excuse you” for the coughing? For...

    Anime You: A Hopeful Collection of Shorts for SHHS

    Veins popped out on the veeery wrinkly, old lady's face like a red bow of inward arcs. "Shitty brat..." she said, fangs grinding together in irritation. Her black polish-covered claws dug into the parchment in irritation. The gold lettering of the words "Anime You" crumpled in her four fingers...

    JJK Shower Thoughts (major manga spoilers)

    Warning: I do not know much about the manga. Please avoid too many spoilers. And for those who don't know JJK, I may not spoil terribly much about the manga in my prompt, but other JJK fans may, and I do not hold back on spoiling the anime. So, I don't know terribly much about anything after...
