Yes, I did it again. Google "Writing prompts about fairies" and you get a pile of possibilities. And litbridge comes through again, with ten prompts! http://www.litbridge.com/2013/10/25/creative-writing-prompts-about-fairies/
As usual, the prompts are their's, while the bad commentary is from me! Here we go...
1. Write a story about a fairy who tries very hard to lie.
I guess in these fairy stories, fairies can't lie? I'm pretty sure that Puck, for one, seems to have fun at least shaving the truth?
2. Write a story about a human who is transported to fairyland.
There and back again! Yes, but what happened…
3. Write a story about a character who catches a fairy and tries to tame her.
Catch a fairy, and… You may have to let her go to really see her glow?
4. Write a story about a character who discovers that his or her origin is fairy, and that he or she is part fairy.
Now how did that happen? Oh, a changeling? Anyway, that could explain the wings…
5. Write a story about a woman who believes her human baby was stolen by a fairy and replaced.
The changeling, the baby, and how do you know which one is which? We need a Solomon?
6. Write a story about the life of the tooth fairy.
Always teeth, teeth, teeth. What's a fairy supposed to do!
7. Write a story about a fairy who love to play tricks on humans for fun.
Turnabout is fair play? And what happens when they find out their friend really wasn't to blame.
8. Write a story based on the perspective of fairies who live in an Otherworld.
You mean in your land, the trees don't walk? And the sky actually stays where it was when you woke up? And...
9. Write a story about a scientist who discovers a dying fairy.
And when they die, they disappear? But…
10. Write a story about a world where people who die become fairies.
Kind of like reincarnation, but better!
Lots of fun and games. You could also take a look at the poetry prompts, and consider just writing a story instead of a poetry.
Fairies, gremlins, goblins, all kinds of interesting and funny critters. Why, you never know what you might find sitting under a leaf when you turn it over, do you?
WRITE!
