Story Prompts | Fascinate Me Fiction
Story Prompts — November 2023
Welcome to Fascinate Me Fiction. Here’s some fascinating inspiration.
The spooky season is over and now it’s time to really get cozy. The colder months are a time to snuggle in with intriguing mysteries, detective novels, or any plot that makes it hard to put that book down! Hone your plot-crafting skills with a great short story or piece of flash fiction. Tag it and submit it to Fascinate Me Fiction to be included in the collection of one of Medium’s most fun up-and-coming fiction pubs! For details about becoming a writer with Fascinate Me Fiction, check out the guidelines:
Prompt #1
The characters of your favorite book show up randomly in your reality. Do they have a message for you, or is something else going on?
Prompt #2
Are you working on a NaNoWriMo project this season? How well would your November go if you were forced to use this typewriter all NaNoWriMo-long?
Prompt #3
Someone familiar runs past you. You recognize them, but it’s been years since you’ve seen them. They haven’t aged a day. Curious, you follow them to this gate. They quickly squeeze through before you get close enough to talk to them. Do you follow them? What happens next?
Turn these prompts into stories in your favorite genre. Are these horror stories, scifi, fantasy, mystery, or comedy? You decide — and fascinate me!
If you use any of the above prompts for a story you submit to this pub or otherwise, tagging back to this page or including a link in your Medium story is much appreciated.
Thanks and happy writing!
