So I’m not sure if I’m going to be entering the Another World contest, but I do have hundreds of ideas! As I said on the Episode Forums, I sincerely hope we don’t get the same 2 or 3 ideas recycled over and over again!

I have so, so many ideas for this contest! I’d love to give you as many as possible, so here are my prompts!

Rules

Please credit me if you’re going to use any of my prompts. This credit can either be on your instagram or the story itself. Just credit @ShanniiWrites – my name is the same everywhere.

Please don’t steal these prompts and try to pass them off as your own. You’re more than welcome to use them, but please acknowledge that I came up with them.

Please don’t ask me to plan your story for you. I’m here to give out story prompts. Having me plan your stories for you will cost you money.

  • What if humans learnt how to fly, but in the process lost the ability to walk?

  • What if witches existed and they were out for revenge because of the Witch Trials?

  • What if the whole world got stuck in a time loop, forced to relive the same day over and over again (thanks, Star Trek)?

  • What if intelligence suddenly became a crime and all the world’s leading scientists got locked up?

  • What if a strange supernatural being started stealing words from us so that we couldn’t remember what they were?

Lucky. It takes me hours to think of one story prompt, and then it takes me months to actually plot it out.

I always wonder if people ever use these prompts and just forget to credit me or if I’m wasting my time

This just gave me an idea for a roleplay.

I don’t really do stories. Maybe one day!

I was thinking its based in Scotland during the Roman empire rule, and the characters are rebelling against the Romans to the best of their ability.

Do you think it could work as a rp?

Definitely! I’d chat to @ChaoticDeluge! This historical period is much more up his alley than mine, so he might be able to help!
