Challenges/Writing prompts/ideas

I've just noticed that there haven't been any challenges in the past 4 years or so. Just making a thread to come up with some writing prompts/ideas just to stimulate our brains. Feel free to add anything below.

The Llibray-sponsored challenges have been discontinued by the site management due to ceaseless bickering about scoring methodology.

Writing prompts by members here on the Forum story-board would seem to be a great alternative to stimulate multiple authors to write stories with a similar theme. Unfortunately, the few attempts to do so haven't gained much traction. If you (or anyone) would like to give it a go, have at it!

Jump in, folks.

Oh that makes sense with the scoring.

My idea was to just have some prompts. I have tried to write a bit years ago (non spanky stories) and have been trying to get back of late.

In terms of prompts, let's see..

Something set in ancient Greece.

A judicial public spanking set in the modern world in a first world country (could be either like an alternate universe setting where mediaeval rules and laws have carried over or some sort of breakdown in society have led to new laws. Or the focus could be on how technology and streaming or news would cover things)

A domestic spanking witnessed from the perspective of a pet cat/dog.

I would love to see an unofficial contest. A word limit? Fine. A theme? Good.

How about:
The new, unofficial challenge!
Date due: March 9, 2022
Spanking stories with a minimum of 2,000 words and a minimum age of 14 on the theme of "told from the point of view of a cat / dog".
No voting! Just commenting!

Let's do it.

My understanding of LSF rules is that stories are NOT to be posted to the forim, and so they would have to be submitted via the usual process. My suggestion is that, once a participating story has been submitted and loaded, that the author return to this thread and post an announcement.

There is a rather good story here from an unusual point of view called Top Shelf Perspective. The top shelf isn't the one in the news agent's shop. It's worth a read regardless of this challenge idea.

Now I'm thinking of a mostly first person story told from the point of view of a cat.

I copied
from the last challenge. We could go back a couple of stories and make 18. Or 16.

Of course all of the authors would have submit their stories to the library. That's why I set the deadline a couple of months down the road. And I think that this could work.

Or we could just copy and paste the text from a past challenge. There hasn't been one since 2017 - and we have new authors since then.

Ah fun! You now have me thinking deeply about a silly throwaway idea I put in, how so very evil of you.

Now I'm thinking of a mostly first person story told from the point of view of a cat.

Hey! That's what I just wrote.. parental discipline story of a boy first person perspective of an evil cat. Im fine with the challenge, btw. Just wanted to know what the usual submission criteria was. (I was foolishly assuming to post each story in the forum)

Something that occurred to me while reading this thread is to wonder whether a document containing anywhere from twenty to fifty writing prompts would be an acceptable submission for the library. Each prompt could be from a fifty to three hundred words. It's a thought.
