Well, the theme itself have multiple meanings. I just wanted to see what people can think of when they are presented with that theme. It is about breaking away from the ordinary in either writing sense or plot sense.

How about (don't know how to do that prombt button.) Testing...
'standard or ordinary' not in character wise but in what a product or service is like. Perhaps an idea is the change the 'standard or ordinary' way of living or the 'standard' of some resteraurants...Jus an idea.

Oh, jus adding another idea about 'standard' drinks hahaha, jus for laughs

Oh, the prompt thing worked! Woot!

Prompt: Revisiting Failures:
Just as the name implies, your protagonist (or group) had failed to accomplish a certain something and had decided to return to the drawing board. Maybe it could be a project, a quest, a love interest, something that had been a goal your character(s) hadn't been up to the snuff to get right. This time around, maybe they have what it takes to get the job done?

Yeah, something like this but instead
A very ordinary infiltration won't cut it, but that isn't what the team is for. They have to search deep to find a method that works!

Prompt:

everyone uses wands and spells
their voices as catalyst, their wands as channels
the world is their canvass
in this world a child is born
she who cannot speak is unable to use magic
wands do not respond to her
but she holds the pen
and that is all she needs

Prompt 3:
Selling pancakes in another world.
THIS HAS A POTENTIAL!!!
Imagine in a world of swords and magic. A man/whatever was transported here through an explosion while (you guessed it right!) cooking PAN. CAKES.!!!

The twist here is that the pancakes he made are literally out of this world. THUS, it began a continental war when he refused to give out the recipe. Assassins from warring continents watched his every move. Knights/Templars was sent to protect him. Grand Magicains summoned and performed their forbidden mgic just to crack the code of "How to cook a Pancake".

Isn't amazing!?

Prompt:
For their entire lives and for a nonspecified reason, the mc have the ability to perfectly visualized anything in their imagination onto the world around them. They can see whatever they want to see just by imagining it, but not much else... Until one day they begin to hear and even feel those visualized imaginations.

A witch cursed a human child for no reason.

When the child grows up, he won't be able to cut off any hair from his body, as the hair will grow harder than steel.

To break the curse, he has to find the legendary Shampoo of Cure, which is currently in the possession of a mighty Demon Lord.
Why does this sound like the next story you'll be working on

Also for those that submitted a prompt and weren't chosen, I do think you guys should post them on the writing prompt subforum. There were definitely really good prompts, it's just that a few them didn't really fit the medium that is a short story.

It is okay! If Ai-chan's prompt is good, Ai-chan would've written them myself, though the reason for that was mostly because Ai-chan is too busy with work.
