One good prompt could be 'Imagine a world where time runs backwards in a novel. How would the characters' lives be different?'. This can lead to really unique storylines as it flips the normal concept of time.
Start with a strong concept. For example, a world where time has stopped. Then think about the characters who would be affected by this. Maybe a scientist who is trying to fix it or a regular person just trying to survive.
A young artist moves to a big city and has to overcome numerous obstacles like poverty and rejection to achieve their dream of having their work shown in a major gallery. There can be themes of perseverance, the power of art, and the harsh reality of the art world.
Well, 'prompts fanfic' could be fanfiction that is inspired by certain prompts. For example, a writing community might give out prompts such as 'a character from a popular series wakes up in a different time period' and then fans write fanfics based on this prompt. It's a way to stimulate creativity and get different interpretations of the original source material within the fanfic world.
Another good prompt is 'How does the setting in a novel contribute to the overall mood?'. Take 'Wuthering Heights' for instance. The desolate moors add to the dark and brooding mood of the story. The wild and untamed nature of the setting reflects the passionate and often unruly emotions of the characters.
One dangerous plot prompt could be a love triangle where one of the parties is extremely possessive and jealous. This can lead to dangerous situations like stalking or attempts to harm the rival. Another could be a relationship where one of the characters has a dark secret related to their past, such as a criminal record or a history of mental illness that they hide from their partner, creating a dangerous undercurrent in the relationship. Also, a plot where the lovers are from feuding families or groups, like in Romeo and Juliet, can be a dangerous plot prompt as their love defies powerful and often violent opposition.
