    @ dyke

    Can it be a double fanfic? Like can the cartoon character fall in love with a celebrity from our world? I'm just curious. I may or may not use the celebrity bit.

    By all means, don't let me limit your writing potential. Take it to wherever it needs to go.

    This isn't a prompt itself really, more of a suggestion. I want someone to write three separate drabbles/oneshots based one prompt (the prompt can be from this thread),

    And where is the current prompt located? I used to be able to click on a link from my e-mail and be brought right to it but now I am brought here. Did I miss something? I am feeling a bit like a fish out of water right now, floundering. HELP!

    There's no current prompt, people just post one whenever. You can browse the entire thread for prompts.

    I have realized that, so different from when I first joined. Then I was brought to where to I needed to be but now I need to sift through what is presented to me. 66 pages? oh Mibba why have you forsaken me? I really enjoy what I can see through you but you have given me so much more work to do. However I will continue to trudge on because you provided a palette for us all to leave our words upon. Thank you, Mibba, for allowing me here and to all others that add their words or just listen to what they hear.

    New Prompt.

    Scenery. Cemetary.
    The couple there are not dating.
    But they could be in love.
    They could be having an affair.
    Be creative.

    The last sentence should be.
    I should've known.
    Whether it be dialogue or narrative is your choice.
    I might do something based off this, not sure what.

    Freedom is a length of rope. God wants you to hang yourself with it.

    A line from Supernatural that I've always found particularly intriguing but have never used. If you write something based off it, let me know! I'd love to read it. Cute

    My gosh, this is lovely! I may actually use it >=) Me and my boyfriend think the EXACT same about weddings and we have this little story/game surrounding our entire relationship (My Mibba name is actually from the game/story)

    So this isn't total spam:

    "Don't say such things to me. Can't you tell that my fragile heart is in your hands?"
    ~Must be spoken but not between a romantically involved couple

    "When your hour glass runs out of sand, you can't flip it over and start again--so live to be happy while you can" --me
    ~If you use this one please let me know Smile

    "Love for all that is right; Hope for all that is wrong" --me
    ~If you use this one please let me know Smile

    "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." --Dr. Seuss

    "Be yourself because everyone else is already taken." --Oscar Wilde

    "So many books, so little time." --Frank Zappa

    "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." --Robert Frost

    "Books are uniquely portable magic." --Stephen King

    "Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win." --Stephen King

    “The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...” --Sheik
    ~If you use this one please let me know Smile

    “There is a fight going on inside of you, a fight between two hungry wolves. One wolf is fear, envy, sorrow and regret, greed, spite, arrogance, and self-pity. It is guilt, resentment, false pride, superiority, ego, and unfaithfulness. The other wolf is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, and forgiveness. It is integrity, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faithfulness. The fight goes on and on, each one trying for control. Which wolf wins? It is the one you feed.” --Lakota Sioux

    A slight twist on a typical overused storyline: a homosexual character ends up falling for a member of the opposite gender, something this character would've never envisioned happening in his or her life.
    This prompt is awesome! I love it!
