August Writing Prompts
The Kraken Lore Prompts
Hello Kraken Crew and land-lubbers!
Summer is in full swing here in Canada, so I thought between the seasonal heat, wildfires, and climate change, we could all share some heat-related stories in the dead calm of August.
Feel free to submit your contributions to be featured on our page, and don’t forget to use one of your 5 writing tags for The Kraken Lore so we can all find and share your entries easier!

Read up on The Kraken Lore here to find out how to be made a writer. (Hint: our boss makes it pretty easy!)
Prompt #1: Is It Getting Hot in Here or Is It Just Me?
This story can be funny, sexy, humorous — whatever. Just include this line somewhere in your story:
“Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?”
Prompt #2: It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Global Warming!
We’ve all heard about the ways that average citizens can lend their support to curb climate change — however man-made the disaster or futile the attempt.
But how might a superhero lend their might to stop Climate Change? How might a supervillain take advantage of it?
Prompt #3: Life’s a Beach
My wife was born on the seaside, and although Toronto has one of the Great Lakes, it’s often far too cold for swimming. So…
Write a story about a great beach adventure!
‘Adventure’ is purposefully vague. I want to read what a beach adventure means to you! Remember that the Kraken Lore loves fantasy, but any deserving fiction is more than welcome (submit non-fiction and we might have to make you walk the plank!).
