The basic idea is to get people to write stuff by "prompting" them with a sentence.
For example, "[WP] He was once a master of the game, but the rules changed, and he could not." and anyone can write a story or whatever they wanted based on that. The prompts can contain constraints ie: [FF] Flash Fiction challenge: tell me a whole murder mystery in only five sentences.
As there are quite a few fine writers on TL I was wondering if people would be interested to do something similar here.
The only thing I would change to the way reddit does it would be to only allow contributors to write prompts . As writing prompts is obviously easier than following the prompt this avoids a whole bunch of empty prompts with no takers filling up the thread. Comments and feedback on people's story are obviously welcomed.
Since this is the OP, I'm going to throw out 5 random prompts to get the ball rolling.
1.The first to fall asleep will be brutally killed.
2. your wife is four months pregnant and your terminal illness will take you in less then two months. Write a letter to your unborn child.
3.You work in high finance and you think the industry is parasitic and you want to quit and denounce the industry but you can't leave because of the money.
4.You catch your wife cheating. You're not mad, actually you're relieved because you had cheated on her and now you feel this makes you 'even'. But you feign outrage anyways to avoid suspicion.
5. Littlefinger gives his son a lesson in how to climb the ladder.

Let the creativity flow!
