Diaperdante Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I haven't really searched DD to know if we already have one but we really need a writing prompt thread similar to reddit. Link to comment
Personalias Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Why do you want a writing prompt thread? Link to comment
Diaperdante Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think it would allow for some users that don't really want to create a story while also allowing for quick short stories from some of DD's best. Link to comment
TDAD22 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I have nothing against the idea, it might even be useful for people experiencing writers block to try a different prompt out. I can't remember if I posted it but I think I would be interesting to get a couple of writers from the site to try to write basically the same story. A good way to see the differences in their writing styles. Link to comment

Cute_Kitten Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah, that's the other shoe. Link to comment
Personalias Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Writing "the same story" if done poorly would be like "Everyone write a book report on the same book and present it in class." Link to comment
abdl5622 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I actually like the idea of this. For short stories or something similar. But, it should be handled very carefully as personalias said, this could turn into a requests topic and I don't think anyone wants that. (Though it may not be a bad idea to have a place for that. That way we don't have people requesting stories where they shouldn't be). That's my two cents. Link to comment

Personalias Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Oddly specific there CK. Link to comment
abdl5622 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I suppose anyone could propose a prompt and if people want to try it they can. Then it would become a requests area... There doesnt seem to be a good solution. Maybe some kind of random topic generator Link to comment
Cute_Kitten Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yeah, I can see this easily devolving into requests for a free story. Which is a shame, because I think it would be a fun idea. Link to comment

Like there own topic or something, with rules and such. It would cut down on the number of random requests people get. Well, if someone really wanted, maybe they could try to start a story requests thread. Link to comment

Like two stories with characters interacting between them, because different chapters might cause issues in radical shifts in writing styles. It'd probably have to be a finished product and not a seat of the pants serial. Link to comment
Cute_Kitten Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Radical shifts in writing styles.....I can see that going either amazingly right, or horrifyingly wrong. xD Link to comment
