- 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?]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:
- The stench hit her when she opened the door, strong enough to dizzy her and give her a horrific high. Yet still she stepped through. It was her duty.
- A creature bound by a collar is loaned out to various temporary masters. The creature can only disobey their orders and the orders of the opposite sex if those orders go against their owner's orders, or if the temporary master becomes an enemy to their owner.
- A demon-summoning appears to go awry. Instead of a hellhound, a doll-like young girl appears in the circle.
- The asker waited, and the longer the questioned remained silent, the more the asker realized that the answer would be like a noose around the questioned person's neck.
Bonus Rounds:
- Write in a random genre.
- "Aw, look at 'em! So young and willing to get themselves killed!"
- "Freedom doesn't feel the way I thought it would."
- "It's not called slurring your words. It's called talking in cursive, and it's fucking elegant."
- "She's a predator posing as a house pet."
- "In my defense, I was left unsupervised."
- "You're a woman. Use it. Bring every man you meet to his motherfucking knees."
- "She's got the eyes of innocence, the face of an angel, the personality of a dreamer, and a smile that hides more pain than you can ever imagine."
