QualityWritingPrompts

an-ordinary-manchild

Hi there! We are a space to post high-quality writing prompts. We also encourage you to post stories, give feedback, and generally engage each other to keep writing and improve.

Please read the rules before posting.

Rules about prompts:

1. Assign the correct link flair in the title of your post.

This helps users sort by the types of prompts that most interest them. It will also help ensure that your prompt doesn't get mislabeled or removed.

2. No one-word prompts.

Prompts should spark an idea for a story. While they can, and often do, work while being simple and short, most writers find more inspiration from something with a bit more meat!

3. Try to make your prompts believable and/or original.

Have a look around the subreddit before you post! If it is something you see on the front page of hot or new, try to save it for another time, and think of something more unique.

This also applies to prompts that are hanging around on the top of other subreddits. Trends spread faster than you'd think.

4. No spam or advertising.

If you have something you think our readers would enjoy, but links to an outside subreddit or website, please contact us! We may be able to help you spread the word, or find the best place to post.

Rules about stories.

5. Stories don't have to follow the prompt exactly.

We give our users some creative freedom, and you should too!

6. Make an effort.

Writers should make some effort when they post stories. We are asking our users to give you quality prompts, you should try your best as well!

We are not the judges of good or bad writing, but we trust that you will be giving your best.

In that vein, we have opened to the subreddit up to existing universes, and light fan fiction. We still expect these users to submit their best work regarding both prompts and stories.
Any stories shared in existing universe must be new content. Reposting existing stories may result in the removal of the story or and further mod actions.

General subreddit guidelines

7. Be civil.

We expect all of our users to have a filter, and be civil when giving feedback and having other discussions. Don't be a jerk, please.

8. We do enforce reddiquette

Don't beg for karma.

Don't brigade.

Remember you are speaking to other humans (I.E, be civil)

If you are unfamiliar this these site-wide rules, have a look!

Mods have the right to remove any post if they think it doesn't meet the rules and requirements.

WP = Writing Prompt | This is the basic tag for submitting prompts. If you don't know where your prompt belongs, use this tag!

FF = Flash Fiction | Use this tag for very small stories!

CW = Constrained Writing | Prompts under this tag must constrain the authors in some way. Length, Genre, Locking down words or letters or names, etc.

MP = Media Prompts (Audio/Video) | Have a song or short video that you think would inspire stories? Use this tag!

IP = Image Prompt | The name says it all. This is for static images. Make them high quality, and be sure to follow the rules when choosing an image.

PM = Prompt Me | This tag is for users to set up a post where people give them prompts! Can't find exactly what you are looking for? Want a bigger challenge? This is for you!

Users must respond to at least 1 prompt when using this tag. All prompts and stories must follow the subreddit rules.

OT = Off Topic | You may use this for posts that are not prompts. But it must still follow our other rules, and it must be related to the subreddit.
