@Ingridrd no, that’s awesome. 😀

@Audrey-Caylin oooh, I like it! Lovely!

@Audry-Caylin oooh, I like it! Lovely!

Okay guys, let’s try something different here. We’ll pick a topic/category and each of us will try to think of something different for that one category, and when we’re out of ideas someone can suggest a new category/topic.

First topic— trains.

@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.

@aratrea Ah, right. Sorry.

His experiment in living is that man’s value consists in his name, and his name consists of his actions. Everything he does, he does with his name into mind. In his mind, if he fails, then he loses his name, and if he loses his name, he loses his worth.

The focusing question is: Of what does a man’s worth consist? T…[Read more]

@Daeus *concurs and joins you in the ranks of offensive un-authors*

This is a positive arc for a character in a fantasy novel of mine.

Characteristic moment: Shows protagonist discriminated against because he doesn’t have a family name. He is struggling to gain a name through his own actions.

Mash 1: Being told he has a name. He feels he didn’t earn it and doesn’t deserve it. He hasn’t proved his worth and m…[Read more]

If there was a Greek word for “post-apocalyptic gray concrete oppressive state in need of a rebellion and some kissing”, I’m not aware of it.

@Northerner *chokes* Ouch. Preach it. 😛
Now now, though. No story is defined solely by its genre. I agree with your lovely sarcasm, but let us not be narrow-minded here. *clears throat softly* I happe…[Read more]

@Kayla-Joy Hello. Pleased to meet you. *sweeps bow*

And trilogies… those little things. *chokes on insane laugh* I’m currently working on a futuristic/dystopian trilogy. 😉 I’d love to help, if I could. Google docs or email would probably work the best… I don’t get on here as much as I used to, to check things, for time reasons. 😉

@Audrey-Caylin what @TheLiteraryCrusader said. 😉

@Rolena-Hatfield yesss. A little large, but it worked. :’D

@Daeus ha! Well in my defense I didn’t come up with that particular prompt; it was provided for me. Still thought, that’s… ha. That’s funny.

@Daeus no, never. What’s it about?

@Emma-Flournoy heh… most of those were actually inspired by other prompts, not original. Due to slight miscommunication I was not aware they were supposed to be entirely original… which is what this topic is for.

@Kayla-Joy hello! Welcome to KP, the bestistest place on the internet. 😉

While I haven’t written either dystopian or scifi (yet— I have a scifi/steampunk in the works 😉 ) I’d be willing to help all I can. Messaging here is just fine with me, that way others can chime in with their ideas and we can all have a huge brainstorming party. 😀

Oh, definitely count me in! 😀 I think you have my email already. Can’t wait to read this! CONGRATULATIONS!
