Teal Deer: If you’re a Patreon Patron, or if you leave a tip from now— Nov. 29th via Ko-Fi or Paypal, leave me a prompt on any one of the last 12 months’ Patreon themes (or Nov 19’s theme) and I will write you words.
Hello gentlefolk!
For NanoWrimo this year (yep, it’s coming up that quickly!), I am going to let you — specifically my Patrons and tippers — tell me what to write. Continue reading
I’ve decided I want to do a prompt call!
Just for fun, to be honest, although I like tips, will write you more words for anything over $1 tipped, and have two current goals for said tips – a Wacom tablet for map-drawing and a day-long writing retreat.
The theme for this call is: The Third Rail
“Never discuss politics or religion in polite company.”
Don’t talk about Money, Politics, Sex, or Religion.
“I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.” – Mark Twain, Attributed
So!
Here’s the trick
only fictional interpretations of these subjects.
No unveiled or thinly-veiled real-life situations. They will be ignored.
That being said – put it on me. Extant settings or a new setting or something else altogether. What sort of politics and religion, (or Money or sex) do you want to talk about?
What sort of things do you wonder about?
What similar taboos do other fictional settings have, mmm?
Bring it on!
~*~
What does an ideal prompt look like?
Well, it sticks to the topic of the call.
It gives me room to wiggle but has a little guidance to it.
It’s at least 4 words long (or possibly a picture).
Choices! You can leave as many prompts as you want! I’ll probably only write to one, but choices are great.
Today I think I would like prompts for microfic on couples, romance, and slash, please.
I’ve been listening to Issaac Arthur’s Science Fiction series on Youtube – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAJeYe-abUA&list=PLIIOUpOge0Ls94qU9ZgTy3A-PbmRKKbV4&index=2 – and now I would like Writing Prompts on the theme of
archologies and eucumenopolises, megaworlds and city-planets
Gentlefolk: It is Kaijune!
I invite you to leave me prompts (image, word, concept, all three) about kaiju!
I last did this as a Patreon theme back in June 2017, so it seems fitting to revisit it now.
Anyone can prompt! Stories will generally be 250-500 words and can always be continued for a tip.
(Tips, at the moment, are going in the “finish the bathroom and the attic” fund, as our bathroom is still missing walls).
May is almost over, but you have a few more days to get in a prompt!
Check out the prompt call here: http://www.lynthornealder.com/2018/05/03/mer-may/
and
leave me a prompt!
Warning: Pinterest
In honor of Pinterest getting sub-boards (YAY!) and Mer-May and… things… I offer this prompt call.
Either:
Check out my Addergoole Changes Pinterest board and/or the Mermaids sub-board (I’m still moving stuff…)
or my Tumblr tags Addergoole Change and/or Addergoole Changes
(or just do some google image searching)
Pick an image, and prompt me with it.
Text along with the image is welcome (“what is he plotting?” “Why is she there?” “This should be in Things Unspoken…”)
No promises I’ll get to them all, but I’ll try to do at least a few a week all May.
(Aquatic creatures are clearly the preference but not required)
These are a few microfics, written to prompts for my Renovations Prompt Mini-Call (which is still open as long as I keep getting prompt).
The tree was ancient, the sort of monster that managed to live through a convergence of luck and good soil, best placement and the weakness of her neighbors. She had sucked up all the sunlight for what seemed, to the younger trees, like miles. And she had, in turn, sucked up lightning blasts.
It had been the last one that killed her, cutting through old scar tissue and toppling her in a crash louder than any thunder. Continue reading
Hello my friends!
It’s coming into spring, so we’re doing #renovations on our 140-year-old farmhouse. And renovations cost #money
I am going to try a primarily Mastodon-based prompt call for fundraising.
The theme is REBUILDING, RENOVATION, RENEWAL, REBIRTH
The way it works:
Leave a prompt (in a toot or here on the webpage)
I write a toot worth (approx. 100 words) of story to that prompt.
Want more of a given story? Donate or Patreon-ize me (if you’re already a Patron, you get two toots’ worth to start with; just remind me).
I’ll post fic to lynthornealder.com once or twice a day to keep up.
Okay.
I want to write as many approx. 150-word monsters in the next 5 days as I can stand.

Now taking prompts and/or requests
My Patreon theme this month is “return of the light” with a bonus theme of “blood and heart”
Bonus points (2 monsters+) for prompting within one or both of those themes. Continue reading
