Prompts ∞

Comment on this post with a prompt and receive fiction. Whoever you are, whenever it is, whatever you want to inspire me with: it’s an open field. Anonymous commenters are welcome. You might leave one word and get a paragraph of stylistic horseplay. You might leave the title and author of a book, and I’ll go read it so that I can write a short pastiche. I am fond of poems, aphorisms, and links to Wikipedia articles. If I have written a piece of fiction that you particularly like, you can comment on it with another prompt and I will continue, though not necessarily from where I left off.
