The Prompt Muse Has Been Busy!

Originally, I had only intended to read the prompts and fills from Obscure & British Commentfest 2018, but then I found a Robin of Sherwood prompt that was tempting and ended up writing Neither Fish Nor Flesh. I had a lot of fun working on that, so I thought I’d take a stab at a Maurice prompt and wrote Silver Strands. By that point, the whole process had become rather addictive, so I spent Victoria Day filling in my own Persuaders prompt with What Is There About Your Face That Causes So Much Trouble?.

I’m going to step away now. With any luck, I won’t come across any other enticing prompts. I certainly won’t post any more of my own. I don’t often write short works (e.g. fic under 1500 words), but I can definitely understand the appeal. It’s great to be able to write and post a story on the same day – or even in the space of a few days. As a reader, I still prefer longer works. That isn’t to say that I haven’t read some excellent shorter works, but, on the whole, I find longer stories more satisfying. It’s nice to have something you can really sink your teeth into. The problem I have with shorter works is that I often find myself wishing the story could continue. I guess that’s not always a bad thing. After all, they say you should leave your audience wanting more. Unfortunately, I don't think I've succeeded in following that adage with my fic fills! *g*
