Prompt Suggestions for October 2023 (Patreon)

[skeleton noises]

I know that neither of the stories from last month were posted, both of them were finished but I just haven't gotten around to posting them yet. Both of them are on the spook side so it's kind of better for them to go up in October anyway.

I feel I might be approaching some form of burnout. I was having some real trouble getting myself to settle in for writing sessions last month, let alone what I would describe as a "full" writing session, splitting myself across multiple different fronts, and I haven't even started taking a lot of substitute work yet.

At the same time I did experiment with writing content that is less demanding, be it shorter stories, simple scenes, or chunks of scenes that represent the parts of an idea which come to me most vividly. Being able to get to the core of an idea would be a valuable tool to have.

I think that the Patreon is going to have to have some amount of change in the near future to how things operate, but at lack of idea for something that I feel is "fair" I'm going to have to settle for keeping things the way they are for now.

You may comment below with up to two things: your prompt suggestion for a scene, and your pick for a story from the backlog to work on.

Rules for Prompt Suggestions:

-Only one prompt per person.

-Please keep your prompt simple, about three sentences at most, wiggle room is preferred.

-I reserve the right to strike something down before the voting phase and ask for a different prompt if I don't think it would be amenable to me; I will like your reply if I approve of the idea.

-These are not requests, I'm looking for ideas that I can work with based on my own interpretation; if I pick your prompt that doesn't mean you have authority to demand that it go in a particular way.

-No personal OCs (you may suggest Non's OCs if desired).

The suggestion period will be open for two days, so closing on October 3 at approximately 1 PM EST.
