Okay so here's the deal. I'm going to start off with a prompt, and you have to write a little ficlet based off of it.
Ground rules:
- post something claiming the prompt for yourself before you start writing (so that other people don't get confused), and edit it or delete it when you have your ficlet ready.
- when you claim a prompt, leave a new one right away so that other people can start working on their ficlet.
- you cannot fill or claim another prompt if you have already claimed a prompt that you haven't filled.
Your ficlet:
- must be in 100 words or less. If you're like me and you're too lazy to count the words, here's a handy-dandy word-count tool.
- must be PG-13. So it can involve swearing, death, mild gore (bleeding but no entrails please), and kissing (but no sex).
- needs to have chosen characters from Hetalia (just so everyone in the group can enjoy them).
- doesn't have to be overly-descriptive. If the prompt is Character A making dinner with Character B, as long as you make a passing mention about dinner I'll give you a pass even if it's just one sentence.
- may use OCs but please don't answer every prompt like that. It'll get boring fast for the ones who aren't so familiar with your OCs.
Your prompt:
- must be PG-13. See above.
- can't involve certain characters. So I can't ask the next person to write something specifically involving America playing video games with South Korea, but I can request Character A playing video games with Character B.
- can't be super-specific. I can't ask for Character A to burst in at a murder scene with guns blazing in a Mercedes Benz and defeat the killer and carry off the killer's would-be victim to a five-star hotel in Chicago. I can ask for Character A to stumble upon a murder scene.
- can be as simple as one word (ex: dancing, love, friendship, waiting), a phrase (ex: writing greeting cards, thinking about the future) or even a quote.
- may be a repeat of a former prompt, but the prompts must be spaced at least five pages apart.
- can be as creative as you want! Just remember to give the next writer wiggle-room.
I reserve the right to modify these rules as I see fit and to step in and declare your prompt invalid if it violates these rules or if it just kind of sucks and no one will be able to work with it.
Prompt 1.
I dreamt of blood upon the shore, of eyes that spoke of sin.
The lake was smooth and deep and black, as was her scented skin...
