May Writing Prompts 2019

[labrathor]

May is here! The Winter event fallout continues to unfold, and there's been a lot of great interactions and personal plots springing (ha) up over the past month as well. We also welcome back returning players Kinz and Reid! We're happy to have you with us again. And As always--

Disclaimer: I never close old writing prompts from previous months. People can and should be encouraged to post on old month's prompts and I highly encourage players to track these posts to catch stragglers or new people writing on old prompts.

Now. With that out of the way, onto this month's prompts.

May's Writing Prompts

1. A hand extends into your field of view. "Come on, let's try again."

2. A beloved item has been misplaced for some time. When your character finds it again Nature has taken hold of it. What was it? Whether it's being used as a nest or a place for seeds to sprout, how is nature borrowing it?

3. Strength is found is unexpected places. What's yours?

4. Name an incidental thing that was difficult for your character to learn. How long did it take them? When were they motivated to learn?

5. Invent a Nexus-Only springtime allergy for your character to have.

May Plot Roundup!

[teacosyghost]

Hello hello gentle players! As we say goodbye to April and burst into May, once again it's time for the Monthly Plot Roundup! We're back to our normal format this month, so whatever you've been up to, whatever strange and wonderful threads and prose you have to share on your characters' behalf, check the details below on how to post them here!

Submit via a comment using the Pastebin format linked below! For convenience and clarity, include a header with your character’s name!

Why do we do this? For spy-reading, of course! It helps everyone in the comm stay abreast of each other's plots, especially as the size of our comm grows. It's also a good way to make sure your hard work is admired by others.

What is relevant: Any prose, private storyline/plot pieces, monthly prompts, or solo pieces which took place on personal journals or which were reposted onto personal journals from chat apps, etc. Only include posts made in the comm if they advance a private storyline. The pieces must be considered canon for characters as they are played in the Nexus (ie: No links to memes which were just for fun, etc.). Links to other DW comms should not be submitted, except on a case-by-case basis. For preference threads should be considered completed as of April 30th 2019 to qualify for this month's roundup and should have completed no earlier than April 1st, except in cases where the last roundup submission deadline was missed.

Format: USE THE PASTEBIN FORMAT! The format comes with an explanation and all of the HTML pre-written. Please follow it closely for uniformity and ease of others' reading. Anything written in ((double parentheses)) is to be deleted and serves only as a guide for you as you fill it out. If you want to see what the format should look like, check out December's Plot Roundup.

Submit by commenting to the relevant thread below and double-check your html once posted! Where possible use a separate thread for each character!

Note also: Each thread should be submitted only once, so talk with your RP partner(s) about who is submitting which links and under which Character Thread.
