2. Unexpected Crossover: Imagine two characters from completely different fandoms meeting and becoming friends. Write a story about their unlikely interactions.

4. Alternate Universe Fun: Write a story in an alternate universe where your favorite characters have different jobs, live in different places, or have the opposite gender.

5. Superpowered Awakening: What if a character suddenly gained superpowers? Write a story about how they use them and whether they keep their abilities a secret or share with friends and family.

6. Metafiction: Write a story in which the characters know they’re fictional and can interact with their fandom, including other characters, ships, and fanworks. Describe the hijinks that ensue.

7. Slow-Burn Romance: Write a romance story where the main characters take their time falling in love. What obstacles do they face?

8. Love at First Sight: Write a story where the main characters fall in love within 24 hours. Is it true love or just infatuation?

11. Song Lyric Inspiration: Take inspiration from your favorite song lyrics and use them as a starting point for a story that reflects the characters’ lives and experiences.

12. Prompt Exploration: Use prompts from other writers as jumping-off points for your own stories. Search online for inspiration and let your imagination run wild.

18. Roadmap Fic: Detail events between two canon stories, filling in the gaps for fans.

19. What-If: Write a story where a minor change leads to major consequences, such as Harry Potter being sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor.

20. AU Twist: Write an AU fic where everything is the same but with one key detail changed, like Katniss Everdeen being born into a wealthy family instead of a poor one.

21. Soulmate Connection: Write a story where two characters can see each other’s thoughts and feelings through words written on their skin.

22. Redemption Arc: Write a story where a villainous character seeks to redeem themselves for past misdeeds.

23. Epistolary Fic: Write a story told entirely through letters, journal entries, text messages, emails, or other forms of correspondence.

And yes, I realize a few of the prompts were basically repeated. They weren't mine, I have no control over it.

Thinking of getting a gaming dice and using it to pick characters and settings and shows and movies and prompts, etc. at random from a condensed list (not sure what method I'll use yet to condense list).
