AUTHOR TOOLS | MASH-UP

Monday Mash-Up #27

Story writing prompts to spark your creativity with a challenge

The vibrant rebirth of the Phoenix | Image created by Author using NightCafé AI

Welcome back, Kraken Crew! What goes around comes around, so this prompt will be themed around renewal and rebirth in an ever-changing cycle, like missing socks in your dryer (so you go buy more, they too disappear, and your clothes are caught in some evil self-fulfilling prophecy…)

Highlights of Past Contributions:

Our perfect pal Poofie makes a return with 14 points and a time-out in his crate!

The band of superheroes we both need and deserve defuse a dangerous 14 points!

The Night Bunny snuck in a little NSFW barbecue for 14 points. Better late than never!

JF Danskin offered up a whole Chaos Army for another 14 points!

Main Theme (Worth 2 points, flip a coin or choose one)

Prompt #1:

There is an ancient magical cipher in your story!

What does it say? What does it do?

Prompt #2:

Your character remembers a forgotten spell!

Do they remember it in time to save the day? Or are they old and frail when they make the wondrous recall?

Constraints: Worth 1 point each (Choose 4 or roll 4 6-sided dice):

  • An unusually large (or small) hourglass
  • A lemon
  • A mirror
  • A single shoe
  • Magic ink (what does it do?)
  • Cobwebs

Hardcore Constraint: Worth 2 points (Flip a coin or choose one):

  • Your hero has second thoughts about a course of action
  • Someone stubbornly doubles-down on a rash decision

Literary Device: Worth 10 points:

Select ANY previously published piece of your fiction writing on Medium. Write a prequel, sequel, introduction, or epilogue of some sort to that story. Maybe it’s a dream sequence or a flashback, or a hallucination!

Give it a rebirth! Link the original in the intro text or at the end of your story. Let us try to imagine your story’s rebirth! (+1 BONUS point for inserting a link to your existing story)

Rules:

  1. Write a story based on one of the main prompts.
  2. Include as many of the constraints in your story as possible.
  3. Keep your story between 100–1000 words.
  4. Use the tag “Mashups” so we can easily find your story.
  5. Tag Jonathon Sawyer because I love a full inbox! I will also highlight your stories in the next Mash-Up!
  6. Challenge your fellow writers! I challenge Zane Dickens the Instigator and Sweet Chaos to complete this challenge of rebirth!
  7. Publish wherever you want but consider The Kraken Lore.
  8. Add a section that tallies up your points at the end of your story. (Worth 1 BONUS point)

I’ve broken the rules format this time, and this challenge could net you a whopping 20 points! Get “Kraken” and I’ll see you in two weeks!
