@kate-flournoy From Wikipedia:

A wyvern is a legendary creature with a dragon’s head and wings, a reptilian body, two legs, and a tail. A sea-dwelling variant dubbed the sea-wyvern has a fish tail in place of a barbed dragon’s tail. The wyvern in its various forms is important to heraldry, frequently appearing as a mascot of schools and athletic…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy Once a day you get a text from an unknown number. All it contains is a picture, a picture of you. One of you heading into the supermarket, one of you driving away from your friends, and then one day…….

Dialogue prompt: “‘Siri, define scintillating.’
‘Scintillating means: sparkling or shining brightly….If you ever want to see…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Ah; good question. Yes, I’m just trying to exclude the characteristic moment, mash moments, midpoint, and resolution scenes. Any other scene is fine!

@Daeus Thank you for giving meaning to my writers’ block. XD May happiness and prosperity follow you all the rest of your life.

@Kate-Flournoy
You find a cell phone in the dumpster that lets you communicate with the people you call through thoughts, not words.

@Kate-Flournoy Cellphones, is it? Not something exciting like a sword? *scowls* Ah well.

You get a voicemail on your phone. Someone is pleading for help and you can hear your own voice yelling in the background. When you check the time stamp, you see it is dated five years in the future.

@kate-flournoy But you see, now every time someone gets writer’s block, it will remind them to just look at things from a different angle.

@kate-flournoy You’re at a huge book signing when someone comes up to you and points a gun at your head, telling you to come up with a writing prompt or die. Your mind goes blank. The man fires, but the bullet get’s stuck in your writer’s block.

@daeus @kate-flournoy @northerner @winter-rose @ethryndal @anyone else I’m going to be copy-editing (or something like it) if anyone would like to join.

@Kate-Flournoy This is gonna be fun!! Are we allowed to submit more than one?
In any case, here’s one: Finding yourself stranded on a dark country road, you suddenly see lights appear in the distance. You approach cautiously, and after some time you come to an old fashioned train station. Boarding the train you notice there’s no one on board…[Read more]

You board a train, and the doors and windows automatically lock once you’re inside. Finish the story…
Not very good, I know. Ah, well. I try. 🙂

Wow. I just posted last night and already there are so many people willing to help. Wow.

Thanks to everyone for your advice, and thanks to everyone who offered to help me.

I will remember to not make a love triangle unless absolutely necessary… And I will attempt to stay away from cliches.

@Ingrid, thanks for the warning. 🙂 I used to be…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy hmm…this is a good brainstorming challenge 😛

My contribution to the topic: You find out that your best friend died yesterday in a train wreck. But no one has seen a working train on Earth for the past five hundred years.

@kayla-joy Hi and welcome! So great to have you! Another great thing is that you brought up a topic that I need to. Thanks!
*sits back and listens to conversation*
@daeus @kate-flournoy *gasp* How could you? *melts your chairs*
@northerner

No love triangles.

Thank you! I thought I was alone here.

@Daeus and @Kate-flournoy you are in danger of becoming unoffensive due to a lack of opposition. Cliches are so much fun. 😀 I like twisting their endings, not actually using a complete cliched scene or idea, but starting with cliches and then making it turn into something else is a very useful technique.

@kate-flournoy @winter-rose @anyone-else I plan to be on till about 9:30
