lay the dragons you mean xdThat sounds like an adventure.
Hmm...I'll make you the protagonist of this story.Prompt: A person is kidnapped and wakes up in a dark room. (You are free to decide the age and gender of the person, also you can decide to write the actual kidnapping or ignore it and start with the waking up.)
Prompt: A wizard fails his hero summoning and now he can't move his (insert body part here) . . . It turns out the hero's mind was transferred into the wizard's (insert body part here) . . . how will the hero slay the demon lord when he is the wizard's (insert boy part here)?

I already dream stuff like that, though, and it's weird. Not meaning the dream is weird, but because whatever I dream is completely unrelated and oddly strange for me to have any form of knowledge of whatever happens to be going on. Like my other "self" is doing stuff I shouldn't know how to do or have never thought of doing. o_oHow about this for a prompt:
What if when you sleep you see your self. And you can’t control the dream either. What if those dreams are you but from an alternate realty.
All you can do is watch. Watch, yourself, and this world. Watch it all unfold before your very eyes.
You can’t interact with yourself, the people, things, and that reality.
Your other self can have a bless-full life. Or, they could be your worst possible reality.
Obviously it doesn’t have to be you. It can be a character’s life.
And yes, you’d be writing about that character sees in the alternate reality. And that reality is only seen once he/she goes to sleep.
I guess this prompt can be called: A reality you dream, but it’s not yours??
Idk.

I like these 2 prompts because they don't necessarily limit the genre of the novel (modern day, fantasy, etc.). For me, I like writing prompts that give more freedom than boxing you in. It's also more fun as a reader due to having more variety as a result.Prompt: A person wakes up and they have a strange feeling that they lost something very very important -- but what did they lose? It seems like they can't remember......
This one I like only because it can transform into a Zombie Apocalypse world, which is one of my favorite genres. But you can definitely take it other ways too.Prompt: A college student is enjoying a Friday night in the city with friends when they end up separated from the rest of the group. When they realize they are lost and have no ride home, they try to call one of their friends. Just then, the entire internet backbone goes dark.
I pondered the possibilities. If I were to kill one person, ten people would be saved. But if I were to kill the one person, wouldn't that mean I have resigned this innocent life to death just so I can save more people?prompt: the trolley problem. a character has to make a choice between killing one person to save 10 people, or 10 people to save one person. i like it when people think outside the box for this one.
As I've mentioned before on the SSSC II thread, for this competition, I'll be experimenting with using 3 different prompts to give the authors a variety of options. Now how do we select the prompt?
Well... you guys have the opportunity to suggest for this upcoming competition! Others can like your suggestions and I'll consider what's the most fitting, popular and appropriate for the competition.
Remember that the prompt can be an audio, a picture or a writing prompt!
Theme: Breaking from the mundane
Well, the theme itself have multiple meanings. I just wanted to see what people can think of when they are presented with that theme. It is about breaking away from the ordinary in either writing sense or plot sense.Theme: Breaking from the mundane
Forgive me for probably looking like an idiot here but I am not 100% sure what you mean by this theme. Is it breaking away from being unimaginative and ordinary or something to do with earth as contrasted with heaven (Or whatever).
