I was browsing various subreddits I haven't seen before, and I came across one called r/WritingPrompts. A bunch of people get together and post prompts, or ask to be prompted to write just about anything, from persuasive essays to science fiction. I thought the idea was super cool, and I thought I could bring some of the prompts here for people to creatively write and show off just for fun.
I'll start us off with this one:
|
You are the captain of a starship, only a few hours before the last star in existence dies and the universe goes cold.
|
(For prompts like these, set aside scientific accuracy and write assuming anything is possible, stay true to the intended theme) Feel free to throw out some of your creative prompts too for myself and others to write on. Typical submissions are relatively short, like a very short chapter in a book.
