Judge's Pick!

while the turn out for March's ProsePrompt wasn't as great as the last two, there are still come pleasant reads by several authors. Definitely check them out, especially this month's Judge's Pick: I Am Become Death by ~Dagger13

Also, if you like to make a suggestion for next month's Prompt, by all means tell us! If we think it's good enough, your's could very well be picked!

What is a ProsePrompt?

ProsePrompts are a series of exercises designed to jolt your creative writing processes. We present a concept and it's up to you to write and accomplish the idea. Your prose can be written in any format, genre and length. Also, ProsePrompts are not just open to ProsePlease members but also to the general public.

What are the rules?

The Golden Rule: All work must be your original creation. Plagiarism of any form will NOT be tolerated.


1. New Prompts are added every month and remain open for future submissions. Prompts never end nor close.

2. Your submission must include only the elements and requirements of the Prompt that you are submitting to. There is no need to satisfy past or future prompts however, creativity is encouraged, but feel free to still do them if you like.

3. At the beginning of every month, the Section Co-Ordinator will select a submission for Honorable Mentions from any of the prompts listed.

4. You may submit more than one entry per ProsePrompt and enter as many ProsePrompts as you like.

5. ProsePrompts are open to everyone, not just ProsePlease members

6. HAVE FUN!


What's the prize?

How about that warm and fuzzy feeling you get from accomplishing a challenge? No? Ok how about:

After the Prompt ends, the Section Coordinator will select an Honorable Mention based on which submission best satisfied the Prompt. This person will be featured on the front page of the following *ProsePlease journal and also get a permanent spot under the prompt on the ProsePrompt page.

But that's not all, even if you didn't snag an Honorable Mention spot, our Section Coordinator will also feature a few participants on her journal. Now isn't that exciting? On to the prompt...

March ProsePrompt

All stories are based around central conflict right? Write a story about an event that goes perfectly, but add in your anti-perfectionist character and see what happens next. Perhaps some comedy may come from this, but that's up to you, the writer.

Not sure how finish?

Head over to the ProsePrompt Archive and check out previous submissions, or, check in chat to share and receive some advice!

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY STORY?

Note the club with "[Month] ProsePrompt Submission" as the subject and a LINK to the work. It's that easy!

Every submission will be read and commented on by the Section Coordinator so feel free to write your heart out.

Good luck!
