    The Weekly Prompt Thread

    Stuck on how to begin that epic story, or just want to practice writing something? This is the place for you.

    Each Monday, I'll post a prompt--it could be a first line of a story, a what-if question, a quote, or anything in between. (but it will usually have something to do with Pokemon) What you do with that prompt is up to you--be creative and write as much or as little as you want within forum guidelines.

    You can either post your replies in here or in a thread of their own if they're on the long side.

    Of course, you are also welcome to submit prompt ideas--but I (or another Writer's Desk mod) need to have them by Friday (so it can be posted the following Monday)

    You do not have to write on that week's prompt if you don't want to--every prompt will be archived and can be used at any time

    I hope that this will provide new writers with inspiration and allow veterans a chance to sharpen their skills.

    Happy writing!

    Everyone has a dream that fills their heart. A journey they must take. A destiny to fulfill. As close as your imagination exists a magical place, where wondrous creatures with incredible powers help make dreams come true. It's the world of Pokemon!!"

    Your prompt this week:

    Ever wonder what fairy tales and mythology look like in the Pokemon world? Take a folk tale or fairy tale and Pokemonize it!

    GREAT IDEA, EMERALD!!! Are people to post the link to their thread of completed prompt writing piece in this thread? I'll definitely try this out at some point. Also, is this solely for stories, or also for poetry? I think it would fit for both!

    I would prefer you link your responses here--I will read them and give my .02 on them.

    Poetry is welcome as well as stories, so long as it fits the prompt.

    You're welcome to contribute ideas (and pass on ideas), or post the prompt if I can't.

    Title: King Arthur and the Pokemon of the Round Table
    Link: http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/for...684#post181684
    Word Count: 1587
    Myth Based On: The origin story of King Arthur. This version isn't widely known and is by far not the accepted version but it's always my favorite because Arthur literally forgets his master's sword, sees the sword in the stone, pulls it without realizing what it is, and runs it back to his master. I always thought that was kind of amusing.

    That was also the same version they used for the Disney version, actually.

    Really? Huh. That is total coincidence I swear. I never even knew there was a Disney version until last year and I haven't watched it.
