Story writing challenges

It seems every year I enjoy the Games less and less. I would normally attribute it to my age, but… no. There are simply other matters I am more tied to than the same trite competitions of military show, though one would think I would be more invested considering my direct involvement this solstice!

That hunter (I am unsure of whether to call him a boy as he acts or a man as he has miraculously survived to) from the neighboring throne has been assigned to be my wedded spouse. Of course, I doubt that either party is satisfied with the arrangement. It's hard to believe he loves much apart from the tavern and the back of a horse and likewise I would probably be more interested in his horse than him.

I suppose I should feel flattered that my mother finds me to be equivalent to whatever amount of remaining gold we would have received from reparations, but

~~~

I slam the book shut and stand nearly fast enough to send the chair to the ground as that incessant knocking refuses to stop. I've barely opened my mouth to chastise whoever's at the door before they take the liberty of entering regardless.

“My Lady,” Isolde says, slowing the stride she was taking to enter as she sees that I'm already awake. “I apologize. Have I disturbed you? I was making sure you have already awoken, but it seems it wasn't needed.”

“I— yes, I'm awake. Thank you, no, I've been awake for a while now. What is it?”

“No, My Lady, you aren't required anywhere for several hours yet. This was just a personal matter. It's unlike you to remain in your chambers this long in the morning, and I was beginning to worry.”

I contemplate… doing something. Get angry? Throw something? Immediately call her away? I never know what to do around her, and it's frustrating to no end. She's infuriating! She's a guard, not a servant! Who does she think she is? She's not even in service to me, she's in service to the King, she's just assigned to my protection, and—

“...thank you, Isolde. Your care is appreciated. You're dismissed,” I sigh, closing the distance between us and standing at the door. “Knock quieter next time, okay? You'll send your fist through the door, and I am not covering for you. If I don't respond I'm bathing or busy and neither are your concern.”

She smiles, and then laughs softly. “Of course, My Lady. I'll keep it in mind.”

I don't comment on how long she lingers in the doorway before closing the door and excusing herself.

I love this, though it follows half of that prompt... but anyways, I love it.-

I love the use of metaphors, especially the horse lines..
The princess has a very distinct voice, which I love. I can already see she is witful and sarcastic.
Great use of show not tell, especially in the line "I contemplate… doing something." instead of saying, "I like her". I instantly know she is in love, or atleast have conflicted feelings towards her.

Yesterday, if it was "yesterday", I was happily watching LycoReco and learning from experts how to dodge bullets. How come that I, Golden Bullet, am unable to finish my target? I keep painting the wall with this unfortunated target every time I wake up, and I'm starting to run out of ideas on how to kill it and see surprise in their eyes. I made a bid with myself to keep it up for twenty-four days (as it was a seasonal anime) and, after that, I am sure everything will be back to normal and get paid. Damn, I can't wait to blow up whoever did this to me!
Punishment & Punishment, the story Dostoesky never managed to write.​

Goddam nate, you always flip the genre I think of as I write the prompts...
anyways, great use of referential comedy.

Long ago, there was a great kingdom, engulfing a plethora of civilizations into its empire. It was ruled by a king who was gentle to the touch; he vowed to betray the blood-stained values that formed the nation, choosing to dedicate his military to defend what was already his. From his values, his empire flourished as it entered a peaceful era, a last hurrah before the end. The night before his birthday, battle-driven warriors, yearning for the past, slaughtered the king is cold blood. The power vacuum created spilt the nation in half, one side was an unstoppable force, the other was an immovable object.

For decades, the twin nations went their separate ways, but were both lacking something: the king's wisdom.

...I'm getting tired of this, so let's just wrap it up.

Basically, the two kingdoms marry and become whole once again, but one half had an affair with a knight and the kingdom was in shambles once again!!

Look, I was running out of time, and we both know my writing sucks ass, so I probably saved you time that would've been spent reading my slop.

There are only two people you can trust in this world: Yourself... and Smith & Wesson. As a private eye, I have to keep my friends close. I keep him near and dear to my heart — just inside my jacket, in fact.

I'm turning off the lights in my office and turning on the light to my cigarette when a dame bursts in. She's in the kind of hysteria a dame only gets into when she feels the need to run up four flights in order to get to Tracer Bullet's office.

I take her case, naturally. A woman in distress is a woman with a deep pocket, regardless of how difficult it is to get the facts out of her.

i thought this would be more fun to write but actually it's incredibly difficult to not just write a tracer bullet bit one to one so i'm scrapping it #oops

I imagined the prompt would be doomed romance as I wrote it... anyways

You are an active FEMALE MangaDex forum user. You spend your days trolling other users, arguing over manga, proclaiming your hatred for yuri, and making it very clear that you love bananas which are baked.

One day, while casually chatting in a thread, you receive a notification.

Someone has pinged you.

To your confusion, the reply comes from a woman with big tiddy. She casually refers to you as her girlfriend.

Everyone else in the thread acts as if this is completely normal.

Is she trolling you? Is it an elaborate prank? Has everyone else lost their minds?

Or is there something you're the only one who doesn't remember?

As the days pass, how will your relationship change? Will you keep rejecting her, slowly accept her, or uncover the truth behind her impossible claim?

After all...

If you end up falling in love with her, you'll have created the very yuri you've spent years hating.

This prompt has a problem, since this "active MangaDex forum user" has no specification related to sex and in the last line the whole story doesn't have sense unless that user is a woman. Please, specify if that's the case, otherwise this is a 1/10 prompt.​

"I am so SIGMA!" is what I usually say and blurt about how manly I am and how men are superior. So why is that yuri, crazy girl, treating me as we were a thing? The rest seem to be playing along, I guessed I missed something while I was reading my daily dose of smutty yaoi. Goddamn, I am so straight I've only ever dated the hottest boys I could find in school or uni, I don't even know how to turn the joke to her. Am I having nightmares about these losers now? This reeks of a fanfiction of a yuri lover.

Wait, now she's messaging me? I've never used this thing, let's see... got it, I can read it now. Is she nuts? Not only she's flirting with me but she's sent me her Insta? Okay, I'm game, let's see how this "bigtiddyoneechan" is not even big. Hmmm... well, she's quite decent, it's a strange figure... no, not strange, isn't she actually ripped? And this video, is that actually her doing some kind of routine? Hell, look those dragon flies, those abs are so hot. ...hot? Her? Wait, there's also MMA? Gosh, did she sent that tower flying like it was nothing?!

The bell rang and a carrier appeared in the camera from the front door, seconds later our Elisabeth of Edinburgh walked in, opened the door and received the parcel. The clock in the living room showed that one hour had passed since our curious Elisabeth logged in MangaDex. "Yabai yabai, I've been scrolling non-stop that yuri girl account!". I've went "straight" to the bathroom to rinse my face over and over and I kept without waking up. "What is this?!"

She has messaged me again, saying something like "why aren't saying anything?" as she added a lot of Megumin emotions and Dex x Nami stickers like those yuri ones a certain banana user reposts every now and then. "No, it can't be, this can't be happening to me!". Our Elisabeth had been homophobe for so long she couldn't accept reality. The Casual Chatting Thread was now filled with yuri recommendations, yuri memes and yuri pictures and nobody was complaining about it, not even her. She was fascinated with this yuri awakening in her, and she decided it was the time to answer. She clicked on Direct Messages but the screen that loaded was not the one she expected: she had been banned.

Elisabeth woke up at 3AM suffocated by the heatwave and dizzy from all she had experienced in her dream. Only one word could be heard: FUCK!!!​
