We have 50 prompts so far, but we need more! Way more! Please check out what we have so far, and submit ideas of your own. For each idea we use, you'll get 1 karma, and if you want to submit 100+ then by all means go for it!
Requirements:
- Use "character" (lower case) in place of the name of the character in question.
- Plot prompts and twists must be somewhat vague because people will see them again and again, so we want to give people creative freedom as to how they spin these prompts, and resolve them in their own way.
- Prompts should also be as vague as possible on details such as character race, roleplay setting / location, situation, and so on. They must be one-size-fits-all.
- Keep the character length to under 200.
We'll post again when we have enough, or to give people pointers about how they could change things slightly.1 character sees a brief flicker in the corner of their eye, which looks like it might be in the shape of a person.
