October Prompt Request Summary

Thank you everyone who participated in last month’s Prompt Request.

I had seven prompters and wrote the following pieces based on their prompts:

• The Palace Will Shortly Be Making An Announcement;
• Artifice;
• An Instructive Conversation;
• Next Moves ;
• Early Morning Reflections ;
• On The Night Of Disguises ;
• An Angel With A Message;
• The Man With The Bucket ;
• Foreign Holiday ;
• Career Testing and Recruitment;
• Dancing And Meeting His Friends;
• Rescue By A Halloween Witch;
• The Mail Is In The Cheque ;
• The One Night Of The Year;
• Kitchen Magic;
• Déjà Vu ;
• Balancing Unfairness;
• The Odd Kid Out;
• Discussion And Declaration;
• Interaction Between The Learned Oligarchy And The Theocracy ;
• A Step Into The Unknown;
• The World Makers; and
• Never Meant.

Because I wrote over twenty pieces to prompts I wrote two backgound pieces:

• The Road To War: a background piece for the October Prompt Request ; and
• The Atlanteans: a short background piece for the October Prompt Request.

There was  a paid extension, Comparing Notes

The Prompters' Story continues on.

Thank you again everyone who prompted and commented.

November Prompt Request Call

The Prompt Request is open from now (Saturday, 3 November, my time) until sometime Sunday, 18 November, my time is now closed.  Thank you to everyone who particiapted and I will now get down to writing the rest of your stories.

If you give me more than one prompt you need to know that I will work through the list in order starting at the top.

The rules and parameters:

1.      Each prompt will be:

a.       a short sentence or phrase;

b.      a story of mine posted to LJ you want to see more of – it does not need to come from a Prompt Request; or

c.       characters of mine from stories posted on LJ – they do not need to come from a Prompt Request.

2.      For each prompt I write to I will write 300±50 words.  If you want to see something I’ve done along these lines before, please see the results of my September and October Prompt Requests.  I have found that stories sometimes carry me away and you may get more than 350 words due to no fault of yours.

3.      I will write one prompt per person, unless you signal boost this Prompt Request or a story from it , in which case I will write an additional prompt per site/platform you boost on i.e. one prompt each on LJ, Twitter, Dreamwidth, etc, for each day of the prompt request you signal boost.  I am setting an arbitrary limit of 14 extra prompts per prompter from boosting.  You will need to tell me about your boosts because I am not across every site and platform.

4.      For each prompter I get, I will write 50 words in a prompting reward serial story;

5.      No fanfic, I just don’t know enough about enough current series and settings to do your favourites justice – give me a name or names and I promise what you get will not be the people you know and love; and

6.      Please, nothing that has to be porn – I have to be in the mood to write that sort of thing and I would like to be able to post these stories without warnings.  (Yes, I know, 1b & 1c could produce prompts that are almost like that.)

7.      For every ten prompt-based pieces I write I will I write a background piece on a world or character, subject to be chosen by audience poll.

Why am I doing this?  Practice!  Plus I’ve found that I enjoy the interaction with all of you.

And yes, there is a tip jar.  This is for extensions.  I will write extensions at 500 words per $5.00.

1.      If I receive any money for extensions I can no longer be flabbergasted because that’s already happened but I will be very surprised. J

2.      For every $15 I receive for paid extensions I will write to one more prompt, chosen by those who have paid for extensions, from any ‘unsupported’ prompts received in the Prompt Request.  This will occur after I have written the paid extensions.  An ‘unsupported’ prompt is one which does not have a signal boost to support it.

If you are kind enough to give me more signal boosts than you want to prompt, I will use each of your ‘left over’ signal boosts to power another 50 words in the prompt reward story.

Please tell me where you’ve signal boosted as a reply to your comment giving me prompts.

Thank you for participating.
