Spring Writing Challenge

The sun is out and the days are warming up. Spring is here and it's time for Stonewall's 1st #WritingChallenge of 2025!  Submit your entry by logging into this site and posting your story in this thread between now and end of day on June 1st, 2025.

Theme Instructions:
This time, we're doing things a little differently. Instead of coming up with your own theme, select one of the writing prompts below and build a story around it. You can use your character from any game you like, any setting you like, or just make it up completely from scratch! Your story can be science fiction, fantasy or any mix in between, just stick to the writing prompts.




To participate in Stonewall's Spring writing challenge, you must post your entry here, in this thread, before day's end on June 1st, 2025.  Please title your entry!  Your posted entry must comply with these additional rules to be eligible:

1. Entries must incorporate a prompt somewhere in the story.
2. Your may use AI to help generate a writing prompt for yourself, BUT your story must be entirely your original work
3. DO NOT USE ChatGPT or AI to write any or portions of your story for you!
4. The content of your story must not be edited after the submission deadline of June 1st

Only one entry per community member, please.  While we encourage you to include graphics to supplement your story, only the written narrative portion of your entry will be judged.  Instructions on how to incorporate graphics in your post can be found by clicking here.
