Come on, come in! Don't be shy, there's plenty of room for all in my tent of wonders. Ah, there now. Make sure everyone can hear me because I'm only going to explain this once. Ready? Good. Okay! This is the place where you can demonstrate your skills as a writer and a creative visionary! Stretch your imagination and your pen!
Below, you'll find four - count 'em! - writing prompts that will challenge you to come up with scenarios and characters. Your job is to respond to those prompts. Let me quickly go over rules:
- You may enter every prompt
once, but you may only win
ONE of them.
- You may use any character, any situation, and any setting that seems appropriate to the prompt.
- You may swear, but keep your cursing to a minimum, and put [M] in your post-title, please.
- There is a MINIMUM word-count of 150 words. However, there is no maximum word-count, so please feel free to go nuts.
Prizes for winning include a cool 1500 tickets! Participation prizes are 200 tickets each, and a sense of accomplishment. Here are the prompts.
[Prompts]
1. "So when, exactly, did you plan on telling me about the hyena?"
2. There are exactly twenty-eight clowns that you've counted over the whole time you've been here, but this is the first one that isn't smiling.
3. Quick! Your friend gifted you some tickets to the carnival today, and you promised them a themed party! Item? You've got nothing in the house and certainly no circus-themed food!
4. This creepy guy has been following you for ten straight minutes, and nobody seems to notice him. Now, you're at the creepy fun-house attraction, and he seems eager to join you on the ride.
You have until the 4th of July to enter, and final judging will take place on the 6th of July, with winners announced that evening. What are you waiting for? Go, go, go! Write, write, write!
