Copper CHANGE

8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Tumultuous times are interesting moments to set stories in, whether they be due to natural disasters, sickness, conflicts, or others. Characters face unusual challenges, infrastructure breaks down, and society as a whole can change. Change can be big and small—from the size of a small community or city to the entire universe—, and it can be positive and negative. With these prompts, you’ll think about changes that have happened (or are happening) in your world and how people are dealing with them.
My Goal
I just want to write at my own pace and enjoy every second of it! Will try to finish all of the prompts, but I cannot promise anything.

Silver REFUGE

8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Where do you go when everything around you changes? A refuge can be a literal place (like a building or a city), but it can also be anything that keeps you safe or comforts you. The change someone takes refuge from can also be small in the grand scheme of things—sometimes, small changes can have deep consequences on a specific person or group. You can tie this in with the previous week’s theme and make these prompts about how your world responds to whatever change you wrote about, or come up with something completely different!
My Goal
I just want to write at my own pace and enjoy every second of it! Will try to finish all of the prompts, but I cannot promise anything.

Gold BELIEF

8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Religious belief is a foundational element for many cultures, but belief doesn’t have to be about religion! Beliefs can be about superstition, urban legends and myths, people you believe in, and more. There are also schools of philosophy and even just personal codes of values that you can believe in. Essentially, anything and anyone that inspires people, for good or ill. There are plenty of opportunities to tie this in with the past two themes too! The introduction of a new belief system can cause huge social changes and, on the other hand, people with strong beliefs might be resistant to certain changes. As for refuge—many people find refuge in their beliefs, religious or not.
My Goal
I just want to write at my own pace and enjoy every second of it! Will try to finish all of the prompts, but I cannot promise anything.

Diamond DECAY

8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Most things decay over time, but, just like all other themes, decay can be understood in a multitude of ways. There’s physical decay, but there’s also moral decay—both often go hand-in-hand with old organizations, and physical decay can be used as a metaphor for moral decay. Think about how people in your world try to prevent decay too! Decay itself implies change, so you have an easy connection with the first theme here, and many people will probably want to take some sort of refuge against the decay!
My Goal
I just want to write at my own pace and enjoy every second of it! Will try to finish all of the prompts, but I cannot promise anything.
