*~*Prompts*~*

1. The rain was a veil of mourning against the chill city night, melting each streetlamp and cheerful neon sign into a hazy sunburst that dripped off into the blackness.
Taken by: PadawanCyn

2. The light of the moon wrinkled slightly across the surface of the pond as the teen's heavy footfalls and harsh, rasping breath disturbed the eerie stillness of the water.

3. The transformation began as a small twinge of pain that started under my left shoulderblade and swiftly ripped free to crush my entire body in red-hot, blazing lines of exquisite agony.
Taken by: none

4. Curious, I leaned in to inspect the little statue. It was a tiny angel, her wings folded tightly against her body. The stone tears, though the same pallid gray as the rest of her, seemed to make the statue glow with an unearthly blue light. Somehow, it made me want to take her home.

*NEW* 5. Blood wept from my shoulder in little crimson tears as I stared up into empty, bottomless eyes. I was so screwed.

Enjoy these prompts, topics, and challenges. Use them however you want - in a pictures, poem, prose, literally, metaphorically, even simply to get your muse going - as long as you remain in line with Gaia's ToS. Have fun with them! ^_^

Oh, and don't forget that if I see your response to one of the above items, I will post your name and a link to your response thread next to the "taken by" label so everyone can easily access your work. Feel free to post your own challenges, prompts, and topics in this thread so I can add them here, too! You may submit and win guild contests using works based on the resources found here.

PadawanCyn - Click here for her brilliant group project thread!

A new prompt! An action-related one this time. Enjoy, if only to get your muse off its lazy butt! ^_^

-Aurah

Nope. It's a prompt, so it's just whenever you think of it.

What do you think of the new "Topics" section and the new look? Feedback, please!

-Aurah

The new look is very nice, Aurah! Makes the prompts more visually yummy... hmmm, muse chow... ^^ And the topic thing is also a good idea - sort of like those *insert number here* theme lists you find on LJ. Me likes much, though the image of my granny sipping her tea with sweetener is pretty much blocking everything else, lol...! whee
I hope you can get the shy members to come out now. ^^

There we go! This thread is now linked to Cyn's. Please visit her! ^_^

-Aurah

Well, I'm pretty sure I don't have rabies! (Can't make any guarantees on anything else, though... *tries picking up her vaccine bulletin, but it crumbles to dust*) Yup... between the two of us, people are totally safe around here! xD

"Makeup"? Dear lord, you must be out to get me with mental images! I think I might make something for the second prompt, though... I'm in the mood for horror...

Indeed, we'd be nothing without them!

Oh, I've read your fic here, just haven't gotten around to actually commenting yet, sorry. ^^' I thought it's pretty good - and yes, one-shots do have a certain something that make them stupidly fun, eheh... May inspiration strike you often, enough times to make your muse get an idea-lightning-rod and three llamas to help out. ^^
