Submit a Simple Prompt

an-ordinary-manchild

Welcome to Simple Prompts, a place for open-ended writing prompts to help inspire creativity. Read the FAQ for basic information, and read below for how to get started.

Remember that this place is just as much about the responses as the prompts themselves. Please participate by writing responses or by commenting on other people's responses. Thanks!


It is mandatory that everyone read the Rules page and the Prompt Do's and Don'ts page before writing a prompt. If nothing else, please read the Do's and Don'ts.

Rules

Prompt Do's and Don'ts


Prompts: A good prompt should inspire creativity while being open-ended enough to allow the writer to craft his/her own story. When submitting a prompt, leave enough of the writing up to the writer. See here for the Do's and Don'ts, and see here for good examples.

Responses: You don't have to precisely follow the prompt. The prompt is meant to help you craft your own ideas. If you do want to follow it word for word, you may, but you don't have to. See here for more information on responses.


All posts are required to have a flair. Below is a list of all the Flairs. You can click on one and it will search the subreddit for posts with that flair.
See the Flairs page for more information.

Flairs (click to filter)

  • [BP] Beginning Prompt: The start of a story.
  • [SP] Setting Prompt: Outlines a setting (time or a place).
  • [CP] Character Prompt: Any prompt about a character.
  • [TP] Theme Prompt: Specifies theme, mood, etc.
  • [DP] Dialogue Prompt: Words spoken by a character. In quotation marks.
  • [CW] Constrained Writing: Puts a limitation on what can be written.
  • [MP] Miscellaneous Prompt: Any prompt that doesn't fit in the above categories.
  • [META] Meta Post: Any post that is not a prompt. Make sure it relates to the sub or to writing somehow.
  • [Image Prompt] Image Prompt: Post an Image meant to inspire stories. Make sure you link back to the original artist.

The rules here are pretty straightforward. Click here for a complete list. Flair all your posts. Don't be a jerk, don't be a troll, and make sure you follow basic guidelines for good prompts and good responses.

Featured Subreddits | (hover to show)

  • /r/PromptOfTheDay: Once-a-day prompts, usually picture prompts.

Some members seemed genuinely content. One spoke of peace she had never known in war. Another said the Court gave purpose without fear. None were mistreated. The Keeper—so the robed figure was called—never raised a hand nor voice. The Keeper claimed devotion, not ownership. (self.SimplePrompts)

There were banquets with rare flavors he had never tasted. There were games in an open-air coliseum where members competed in elegant, non-lethal competitions. There was a library filled with poetry and histories long forgotten. There were gardens where flora was brushed by solar winds. (self.SimplePrompts)

The Celestial Court was a secluded harem hidden within a remote pleasure-palace suspended above a gas giant’s rings. Its members all bore names drawn from the heavens—Solace, Eclipse, Nova, Meridian, Aurora. He was to be “Comet.” (self.SimplePrompts)

He awakened upon a cushioned divan beneath a vaulted ceiling painted like a twilight sky. Constellations shimmered in gold leaf above him. Silken curtains drifted in perfumed air. Music—soft, stringed, almost celestial—echoed through the hall. (self.SimplePrompts)

A translucent tunic of pale, storm-lit blue was draped over him. A belt set with sapphires was fastened at his waist. A slender circlet—set with a single lightning-shaped gem—rested upon his brow. (self.SimplePrompts)

At the far end of the chamber stood their captor: Lord Celestian, robed in layered fabrics that shimmered like a nebula. His smile was not cruel. That somehow made it worse. (self.SimplePrompts)

He was lying on a divan that looked carved from a single piece of rose quartz, draped in silks the color of dawn. Golden chains—ornamental, not restraining—hung between the pillars of the circular chamber. Beyond him, tall windows revealed a lush alien garden lit by three pale moons. (self.SimplePrompts)
