Writing Prompt List

Writing Prompt List

I decided to compile a list of my own prompts to use for future requests.

There are a total of 210 prompts. Genres are: angst/emotional; fluff/romantic; Miscellaneous/Humor; and Scenario Prompts.

Feel free to request a plot or idea with your prompt requests; but you do not have too. (I take up to three prompts in total for a request)

*Made it into a bulleted list since people were not sending in the full prompts and just the numbers.
