- 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:
- A sentimental dimwit notices something he should not have, and is hunted for it.
- A character is incapable of telling lies. They must learn to overcome this, while at the same time learning to control their innate power of suggestion.
- A man fakes his death to avoid his former employers. One of them finds him years later. What events happen that lead to the employer keeping the man's secret?
- People describe him as a mystery. He arrived out of nowhere, got drunk, and then ended up adopted by the widowed old lady down the lane.
Bonus Rounds:
- Write in a random genre.
- "No one should wield that kind of power with just their voice."
- "You know, normal people don't have a basement full of weapons."
"I'll have you know, every single one of these knives saved my life at least once."
"What about that gun over there?"
"Oh, that? Stole it from a cop. It's for decoration." - "You're really drunk right now."
"I don't think so? You're just blurry." - "Hey, Pretty! Do you think your sib would like this kind of ice cream?"
- "Ok, so, when you started following me and smelling like a murderer, I thought you'd be a stabby type. Strangling's good too, though! Kinda exciting... Wanna get a room somewhere?"
- "Life sucks when you're terrified of the creatures you're descended from."
