Someones Parents Lied...

Someone’s parents lied...

Story Starter #39

Relationships should come with warning labels; “Caution: High Maintenance,” maybe, or “Handle with care.”

Character Idea #6

Write from the perspective of a non-human character who also perceives the world far differently than a human can. (For example, did you know plants have photoreceptors in their leaves which control cycles such as flowering, meaning they can “see” the sun? Or that when they are injured, they release chemical “screams,” jumpstarting their neighbors’ immune systems? Or if plants are too intimidating, how about the mantis shrimp, whose punch can boil water and whose eyes can see in a wider light spectrum?) Avoid the temptation to anthropomorphize (i.e. making them understand human speech and motives, or creating tribal cultures and religions).

Giant wormies from the community expedition in No Man’s Sky. Aren’t they charming?

OTP Prompt #21

Your OTP finds an eldritch horror in their basement. One of them wants to keep it as a pet.

Character Idea #5

Write about a character who thinks they are well-liked but who everyone else finds annoying. (Unreliable narration is likely to ensue.)
