Story writing challenges

[Cool.Ice]

I like reading—a lot. And I also love reading stories other people write (except dark romance smut. Ew. Ew. Ew. Keep that miles away).


Since many people want to practice English or simply express their creativity but don't know where to start, I've decided to start this challenge.


From time to time, I'll post a story prompt. It could be extremely specific or incredibly vague. From there, you can participate in any of the following ways:

• Write a fully fleshed-out story. I don't care how long it is—I will read it.
• Write just an outline. This is for people who simply want to share an idea or don't feel like writing an entire story.
• Use AI. I'm fine with AI if it helps create a good read. However, please mention which category your submission falls into before posting:
  • Fully AI-generated
  • AI-assisted rewriting (e.g., grammar, wording, polishing)
  • AI-assisted ideas (you wrote the story yourself, but used AI for brainstorming)

I'll also rate every submission out of 10 and keep track of them in an Excel sheet (with separate categories for the three classifications mentioned above) if this forum gets traction.


If you ever feel a rating is unfair, just ping me. I'm always open to discussing it. Happy writing!

This will die in few days, right?

Let's start with a simple one.

You are the princess of a kingdom, destined to marry the kind prince of a neighboring kingdom to secure peace between your nations.

But your heart already belongs to one of your kingdom's knights.

Who will you choose?

What happens to the one you don't choose?

And years later, will you still believe you made the right decision?

Edit: just forget about their gender, if you wish to write yuri

It's a shame nobody uses the proper subforum for stuff like this because polls can't be made in them.

I should also practice writing.

In fact, this belongs to "Original Fiction" subforum (it's already reported).

Short one:

In the third year of my wedding, little has changed from the time I decided to marry my two husbands in the same day. It wasn't easy convincing my father to pass a decree to make an excemption in the succession laws, but I won't change this bliss for anything else. When both your country and your mind are at peace, what else do you need?​

Uhh, yeah I thought I would post it there at first. But I needed the poll system.
Also I thought it would be fine as similar types of forum exists here

Maybe this could serve as a master thread, containing the prompts, with the answers being put into a thread in the correct place?

You are a hitman assigned to assassinate a young adult.

Before carrying out the job, you spend days watching them. They're cheerful, surrounded by friends, and full of life; the complete opposite of you. Despite that, you've killed countless people before, and this assignment is no different. You eliminate the target without hesitation.

The next day, you meet your boss to collect your payment. Instead of paying you, they stare in confusion.

"How did you know about the target before I even gave you the assignment?"

The question makes no sense.

Then you notice something impossible.

It's the same day all over again.

You're trapped in a time loop. Everyone repeats the exact same actions, like NPCs following a script.

Except one person.

The target you killed yesterday is alive... and remembers being murdered.

Just like you, they're trapped in the loop.

Will you continue carrying out the same murder, day after day, watching the victim remember every death, or will you learn to trust each other to find a way to escape?

@BakedBanana 4 people wish to hear your Yuri story, so fess up

As princess of the Tiddy Kingdom, I, Tidderella, have had the proper conduct of a lady ingrained in me from a young age. It was a grueling upringing filled with pain and milk. Were it not for my chambermaid Theodora, I would not have endured such hardship. Every night she would come to my room and slap me around a little bit. Once she was finished, we'd read a book together. It was my only solace.

But one night, I discovered Theodora's secret. In her frantic slapping, her bra became unhooked, and out poured dozens of feathers. Theodora padded her chest this entire time— a crime most heinous in the Tiddy Kingdom— though I knew not of its illegality at the time. The next morning, I mentioned it in passing to my fencing instructor. That was the last time I saw Theodora. (She was also my fencing instructor. Someone overheard our conversation and told the guards.)

It wasn't until my 8th birthday that I was told what had befallen my beloved chambermaid. Brought before the Council of Tiddlers, Theodora's chest was laid bare. For a commoner, chest-padding would typically result in exile. But her position as my chambermaid was taken into account, and Theodora was sentenced to two months in the dungeon. On her first night there, she attempted to eat her daily ration of bread. Unbeknownst to her, the bread had raisins in it— and, being allergic to raisins, she died of anaphylactic shock.

From that day on, I vowed to never reveal another secret for as long as I lived.

CHAPTER 1 END
(Probably not) TO BE CONTINUED
