July 22 Prompt Request

[rix_scaedu]

 

In an attempt to get back on the writing bandwagon, I am calling for prompts for this month.  As I've been reading a lot of (British) Regency romances since April 2020, this request is for a historical romance theme, trope, meme, or cliché and the type of setting you would like to see the story in.  I will aim to keep all stories under 1,000 words each - this seems more feasible than 250 words, given my more recent results.

Please do not ask for other sources' characters - I would probably manage to butcher your favourite.  Please do not ask for erotica either.

You may make multiple prompts, and I will write to at least one prompt from every prompter. If you are one of my patrons on Patreon, that will get you an additional prompt written.  I will also write an extra prompt in return for signal boosts, but I will not promise to write more than three boosts for any one prompter.

Last day for prompting will be 25 July 2022.

A time-travelling female tourist (disguised as a man for the sake of safety) gets entangled in the villainous Earl's schemes by coming to the aid of a Debutant with a popped seam in her dress, thereby ensuring she's not in the ladies retiring room at the ball as the Earl had intended... The result is the scheme (a whispering campaign of rumours the next day) to force the Deb into marriage goes ahead, but with the protagonist not the Earl.

Sort of 'butterfly effect' meets Hayers.
