It’s been a few weeks, but here is the third installment of Open Prompts, where you tell me what to write, and then join me if you feel the muse move you.
The first two attempts produced Klutz and Saturday 4am, which has its own recurring story line and music video.
This time, I’m going to set the length at about 200 words. That’s pretty short, so I’m only going to take 3 prompts. If you have an idea, write it in the comments and I’ll include it in the story and credit you at the beginning. Pretty much anything goes, from the tone, genre and title, to characters, setting or objects in the story. Go nuts!
Story elements:
- Length: 200 words
I’ll post the story this Friday, October 12. See you then~

A transexual named Nima?
October 9th, 2012 at 10:47 pm
Hm, I don’t think I’d be comfortable writing a transsexual character, at least for this story. You’ve got me thinking though. I’ll keep it in mind.
October 9th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
Okay, no worries. 🙂

What about using a Halloween theme and a haunted house, which may or may not be actually haunted?

Wow, this is so open David. Hmm…someone with an OCD problem? That’s all I’ve got. Dont’ even know why I’m suggesting it. Or, someone who is just obsessed with something.

object: a rare bottle of wine
October 10th, 2012 at 10:25 am
write as if you are an alien-terminator-human like me!
October 10th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Well, I’ve already got three prompts, but I’ll work it in somehow. I love the paint job on the terminator costume. 🙂
October 11th, 2012 at 10:26 am
Can’t wait to see how you work that in! Good luck
October 10th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Okay, that sounds good. So: 200 words, a (possibly) haunted house, an OCD/obsessed person, and a rare bottle of wine. I can work with that. 🙂

I think it sounds like you’re going to have some fun!

he started the story as fun- but something sinister happened- the story started to take its own turns…..
October 11th, 2012 at 3:48 pm
Hmm, so a shift in tone from fun to scary? It’s funny, I was thinking something similar. We have the same thoughts. 🙂 I’ll do it.

the first thing that struck me after seeing that pic you have added is a bit mischief 🙂
the person looked so peaceful and happy.
October 11th, 2012 at 3:52 pm
Yeah, I just added that randomly. That’s a picture of C.S. Lewis, one of my favorite writers. 🙂
October 12th, 2012 at 11:34 pm
thats why the picture looked familiar. 🙂
where is the story?
October 12th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
It should have been posted an hour ago. I’ve having a hellish time with the coding. I’ve never had this happen before, but it’s got weird font and display issues. I’m working as hard as I can on it 🙂 I really want to get to bed too.
October 12th, 2012 at 11:39 pm
go to bed and start fresh tomorrow 🙂
because i will be able to read it tomorrow only if you are yet to post.
its 8 PM here now, so…
October 12th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
It’s all good now. I deleted all the code and put it back in fresh. Just gotta do a final proofread and I’ll post it. 🙂
October 12th, 2012 at 11:52 pm
all the best!
October 11th, 2012 at 3:04 pm
