EXER: What's the story?
Jan. 23rd, 2017 02:39 pmOriginal Posting Feb. 12, 2016
Here's a simple one. I have a random prompt generator, and when I ran it today, it spewed out these little hints.
Problem: Offered a job.
Genre: Beyond the fields we know: life in a fantasy world.
Scruple: You are asked to support a moral position against your personal convictions. Do you?
Plot: Strange places. Getting there, new experiences, and come back or not?
There you go. Your main character (pick one!) has been offered a job. Perhaps they were fumbling around on the web, maybe they applied somewhere, that's up to you. But... Taking this job means taking a walk on the wild side, into a strange new world. Along the way, don't forget that they are going to be challenged with the demand to take a moral position that conflicts with their own personal convictions. Which one? You decide!
Write that story. Flash, short, epic... Up to you.
Write!
