October’s Writing Prompts
The Kraken Lore Prompts
Autumn — or Fall — is in full swing, whether the leaves are dropping or not! I hope the Kraken Crew is prepared for another challenge. So let’s dive right into it!
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!
Not a Writer yet?
Read up on The Kraken Lore here to find out how to be made a writer. (Hint: our boss Bradan Writes Stories makes it pretty easy!)
Prompt #1: Trick or Treat?
A child (or two, or ten) knocks on your door. But instead of candy, they want…
What is it these children want? Will you give it to them?
Prompt #2: The Uninitiated
You come home to find strangers in your house. “It’s okay,” they claim, “We’re just here for the Ritual!”
What is this ritual? What is it all about? Are you in any danger, or is it a big practical joke?
Prompt #3: Undead Day!
A character is informed that today only, they can raise any one person they wish and bring them back to life!
Who would they pick? What are the constraints (if any) of this resurrection? Do they want to come back? What would you say to them?
A few things to consider:
- Feel free to use these prompts to inspire your writing, and consider publishing your story in The Kraken Lore.
- Please, use the tag “The Kraken Lore” so the Kraken Crew (and our editors!) can easily find them.
- Challenge your fellow writers if you like! How does that work? Like this example: “I challenge Jonathon Sawyer to the Kraken Lore Challenge!”
