September Prompt Series - Tumblr Posts
Agreed! These are fantastic!!
And to add on, Briar and I have a joint account that we'll begin posting our collaborative worlds/works on. @eve-and-briar
There's nothing there for now, but I'm keeping my options open
We have two main projects we'll most likely be posting there.
One is short story about lesbian princesses, a surrogate witch mom, and a very cool dragon.
The other is a concept that began as a musical outline about a love triangle of three hopeless teens - one is pan, one is bi, one is aro/ace spec . There are multiple endings, one of which involves a polycule, another involves the lesbian narrator.

September Prompts Day 1 - coffee smell
Featuring Bella
Bella sighed as she shook out her plain dress shirt, wrinkling her nose at the stale coffee smell that permeated it. She’d hoped, naively, that getting an internship would help her gain valuable experience applicable to her work and to record on her resume.
Ideologically contrary to her current state, she loved learning new skills, and her coffee-making had greatly improved over the last three weeks. However, she could no longer enjoy the beverage. It was likely she’d develop a taste for it again, but for the time being the stench of coffee held a strong negative connotation. Furthermore, learning new skills instead of working on ones she wished to better was more salt on the wound - she hoped it would all turn around soon.
She collapsed on her bed, the smell of her bedsheets cleansed her nose, its delicate fragrance and familiarity making her eyelids heavy. She unhooked her bra, tossing it neatly into the hamper in the corner of the room. She pulled on a softly worn-out NASA hoodie. Flopping over once more, she set a half-hour timer on her phone as she settled in for a nap.
Having barely laid down for more than five minutes, Bella was roused from the edge of sleep by the grating whir of a coffee grinder. She groaned and covered her head with a pillow in a fruitless attempt to muffle the sound. The rattling of the beans was so irritatingly familiar that she could practically see them spinning against her closed lids. After what felt like half an hour, her allocated break time, passed the exasperating, incessant buzzing subsided. The peace allowed her to slip into a dreamless sleep, haunted by the smell of hopelessness - coffee.
September Prompts Day 2 - Horizon
No writing today, unfortunately. It's currently unfinished and features an unintroduced character from one of @pagesofcursive and my collaborative stories. It will be posted on @eve-and-briar this weekend, along with a comic sans introduction for the story.
I will continue to use this as an update post - I'm going to do my best to get my own intro up here, A New Infection, with Bella, Freddie, and Zach. If anyone's interested, lmk, I can add you to a taglist
Similarly, if anyone wants to be updated on the monthly prompt series that I'll hopefully continue to do, also tell me, so I can maybe start a taglist for this too
Enjoy the rest of your day! And do something self indulgent, everyone deserves a break once in a while
