- I'm open to a wide range of genres. Obscenely wide. It's harder for me to list all I do like than all I don't like.
My favorite settings are fantasy combined with something else, multiverse, post-apoc, historical (mixed with something else), and futuristic. I'm not limited to those, but it's a good start.
My favorite genres include mystery, adventure, action, drama, tragedy (must be mixed with something else and kept balanced), romance (again must be mixed, and more.
I'm happy to include elements of slice-of-life and romance, but doing them on their own doesn't hold my interest indefinitely.
My Writing Explorations series of exercises are a chance for users to explore new concepts and practice the art of raising two fingers to Writer's Block while screaming obscenities to fickle muses: to rebel against the idea that a person requires a mythical force inside them to make new and amazing things.
No. Listen well, users: there is no being inside you waiting to be let out. You are the writer, and in this exercise, you are given a place to push not only against Writer's Block, but also against the forces of stagnation. Feel trapped in your genre? Explore a new one! Stuck with a singular archetype? Do something else! In this thread, you will not be critiqued unless you request it. Should you wish it, I will happily offer my thoughts on how it might be improved, but I will not comb looking for fixes: this isn't the place: this place is for safely trying new things and indulging a love of writing.
Shake the bars of your cell block and roar, writers!
[fieldbox=How do I take part?]Curious about how this works? Good! Look over the offered themes and prompts and the bonus rounds, then think about them. Then, take your thoughts and get writing. You can write to one or more (or none) of the prompts, the theme in the thread title, the bonuses: hell, you can even cast aside all of what I offer if you get a different idea.
The whole point is "get writing!"[/fieldbox]

Prompts:
- One day, a character comes across Death, weeping on a park bench.
- There are two people who have been reincarnated for thousands of years and have always found each other. Instead of being in love, they hate each other.
- A relatively unknown bit of mythos: leaving a graveyard a different way than you entered means spirits will exit with you. A character sprints through a graveyard to escape pursuit.
- "I first met the reaper when she came for my hamster."
Bonus Rounds:
- Write in a random genre.
- "It's a weapon, that, if ever used, can alter the course of history as we know it. It is an instrument of unparalleled destructive power that no single man should ever wield."
"... I call dibs." - "It's ok, I'm here. I'm not going to leave you."
- "Do you even know how to drive this thing?"
- "If I die this night, donate my body to those in need. The one exception: my middle finger, reserved as a gift to His Majesty."
- When a character was a child, they saw their parents murdered by a delusional man who claimed he was a time traveler. The character thought he was just crazy, but as years passed, their best friend started to look eerily similar to the character's parents' killer.
- "I'm sorry you're barely in your thirties and your receding hairline is pretty much visible from space."
- A character is given a mysterious audio recording. They don't understand what it is. The reader later discovers it's a recording of their final moments alive.
