Challenge Type + Description
Image Challenge
Copy and paste the following description.
Plot Challenge
Copy and paste the following description.
A plot challenge is where you are given a word, a phrase, a sentence, or a setting and you have to come up with a plot idea that is inspired by those words! The object is to think fast and share the first ideas that come to mind. It's an exercise in quick creative thinking. This isn't about writing scenes. You are to write down a plot premise or basic idea.
If you decide to borrow someone's concept for a story or roleplay, make sure you ask permission and give credit to the muse. Also, please notify the challenge creator of this.
Theme Song Challenge
Copy and paste the following description.
Music touches people in different ways. Many people enjoy listening to music for inspiration, and others simply listen to it to relax. Some songs tell stories while others allow you to create your own.
Listen to the song in the 'Prompt' section, then take a minute or two to think about it. Write out a scene to this song; make this song your scene's theme song. Let me know what you see when you listen to this music.
