WRITING PROMPT WEDNESDAY

[storm hemlock]

I mean, it does tend to be. This is a rw writing server, but I don't know if there have been any strict rules set in place for wpw

[stone osprey]

writing server???

[storm hemlock]

lol forum

all the server must write now, I decree it

[final tendon]

Yes.

[tame cosmos]

All the prompts are RW so like, I guess you could try to adapt them into original fiction

[final tendon]

Ah, right

How does the prompt bit work though?

I, regretfully so, was not aware of this when it started.

[stone osprey]

yay Writing Prompt Wedsnesday Wesdnesday

[tame cosmos]

The prompts are in the pinned spreadsheet

I run a program to select one at random

Then we try to write a little something about

Ideally like 15-30 minutes of writing

Though some like to go longer

[vale warren]

It's not, I'm referring to "Wednesday Tuesday" seeming like you're saying it's Wednesday on Tuesday, or Noon, I was saying it's afternoon by saying it's Thursday Tuesday

[final tendon]

Ah

[late oyster]

It's not wednesday yet

[dire ice]

Close enough

[tame cosmos]

It is for some people

That’s why we call it writing prompt Wednesday Tuesday

Thank you to whomever added to the list

ahem anyway

Tree is ready to spin the wheel

And the winner is...

**Beginners luck **
"An Iterator who has never created a purposed organism before tries to make one as a surprise for another iterator who is very experienced in Genetic Engineering. Does it succeed or fail spectacularly? What will their more experienced peer think of their first attempt? "

[dire ice]

[tame cosmos]

Thanks

[dire ice]

Holy shit cy you were just observing???

[twin pelican]

[tame cosmos]

Can you remove the pin on the other one too?

[dire ice]

I did that

[tame cosmos]

nvm beat me to it

[final tendon]

Which one is remarkably good? The or fails spectacularly bit is confusing me for that.

[tame cosmos]

Idk, I didn't write this one either

[dire ice]

The iterator who is meant to get the gift is the good one

[final tendon]

Right

[dire ice]

And the fail is probably like "an iterator who has never created a purposed tries to make (or fails)"

[final tendon]

[tame cosmos]

Edited the prompt for clarity

[final tendon]

Tasty

[tame cosmos]

This is one of Beads' prompts

[dire ice]

I still do wonder how do you expect 100-200 words

I feel the need to slap on more stuff

Hm, tomorrow

[tame cosmos]

to the flash fiction workshop with you

[final tendon]

Indeed, tis still tursday for me

[dire ice]

I feel the desire for exposition or backstory or stuff

[final tendon]

So real.

[marble mirage]

Local iterator conspires to make alternative triple affirmative with his creator as a gift for a 'close friend.'

Fails spectacularly. Ghosted by friend.

Barely any editing on my part. Terrible ending.

Edit: mfw I almost forgot a plot point.

G'here 👆

[tawdry idol]

||im not sure if I should be incredibly sad or go aww here . Should I read that as the intended purpose or also that the organism was also capable of feelings ||

[last aspen]

Just a silly iterator chatfic, might not have as many laughs per minute as my last entry but hopefully it's still humorous
https://docs.google.com/document/d/19F9mw0fls6NKIyInaoraQr2qPBk7R7emRv01sjnMAvE/edit?usp=sharing

[granite kelp]

A work in progress with this prompt

[tawdry idol]

that prompt made me think of WoaF
lets see if i can write a quick one on my way home this evening....

[late oyster]

It was supposed to be a message from the operator who made it

[tawdry idol]

Stories... I fell asleep on the train and didn't write at all

[tawdry idol]

nvm chat, my muse said 'no' and made me write
only 100ish words tho

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S47GfhrXFF1g0e0Jh1ADBDkZ4DeYPBe_GtsFdTaXzec/edit?usp=sharing

||nothing in the prompt said they have to be friends right it's still a surprise! ||

[tame cosmos]

First WPW within specified length

[dire ice]

I'm trying okay???

[tawdry idol]

But didn't Cy also write short snippets?

[dire ice]

No clue if that was within 100-200

[granite kelp]

Wait, how many words to write the prompt?

[dire ice]

That's just an (unrealistic) suggestion

[granite kelp]

I'm.. not done yet

But!

Maybe I can finish it

[dire ice]

Yeah hence unrealistic

[granite kelp]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aCvsyWAywC9LHMTmjUqfDKhAEBWVpvOGPgd-wyN4qtw/edit?usp=drivesdk

It is done

I'll go to sleep now

[granite kelp]

This is for the prompt

went to sleep now

[storm hemlock]

Slap with a Hundred Sticks

[jade pendant]

oh itd wendesndsay

[coarse cedar]

◨ I... started writing this prompt
and then got sidetracked by trying to put a proper RW date on the broadcast header
and then wrote 1000 words into my main fic doc about a calendar system and 0 words into actually writing the damn prompt

[dire ice]

gonna brush my teeth and then see how i feel about writing, chat

[granite kelp]

I just remembered about certain words that could make an actual Iterator

[coarse cedar]

◨ wait what

[dire ice]

Again, it's just a little suggestion, not a requirement

As evidenced by, say, @elder igloo

[elder igloo]

BUH

WUH

GUH?!?!?!?!?

get ROTATED

[dire ice]

[dire ice]

Also, new storyer??? Don't recall ya

[coarse cedar]

◨ yea, new to writing, ive read a lot of fics
so I guess in a way, this is my first time writing a RW fic, although im borrowing a lot of worldbuilding from my main WIP fic

[tame cosmos]

[granite kelp]

[dire ice]

Welcome to stories, then

[coarse cedar]

[dire ice]

Anyways time to drop this i guess
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Iwn8nSGjtRhgY-u7rt9eMovwbygY0Pe51u-j7BAqNfw/edit?usp=drivesdk

'Lil bit of midnight writing, honestly feels nice to just write some itty chatlogs without thinking about my OCs

[quick thicket]

Time for bed piotr

[dire ice]

Who are you to tell me- collapses

[quick thicket]

[granite kelp]

Cele is still the heir though

[elder igloo]

[tawdry idol]

||this has the canon broadcast log vibe, very nice!||

[dire ice]

Yippie

[tame cosmos]

Ladies and gentlemen

It is now Writing Prompt Wednesday Tuesday

[late oyster]

[tame cosmos]

Should I spin the wheel now before class starts for Tree?

Alright WPWers……

That's... better??? Fuckin i dunno

[quick thicket]

[small pike]

[quick thicket]

[final tendon]

Is it truly random though?

[late oyster]

[royal vessel]

sate's alt

[small pike]

wtf it is?

i always thought it wass yours damn

[stone osprey]

Arti but bird

[twin pelican]

I feel the flow of dust on my open skin, the grit catching in my mandibles.

I am bare.

I am exposed.

My kin no longer see me as one of them- I am ash-blooded, tainted in heart and gas-pouch, nothing more than another common prey thing. Without my mask, I am revin, an outcast.

It is loneliness above all that drives me back to where I first became this way, back to that contemptible beast that stole from me my very self. Vengeance would be a salve to my wounded ego, but the greatest pressure comes of the separation from my kin.

I see the lair of my foe, a blackened crater from an age before. It waits there, the nasty thing. My kin would mock me if I were to show them, but I know the true depths of the merciless soul that resides in the club-tailed beast below.

I alone know the contemptible nature of The Red Yeek.

The wind flows through my danglers as I swoop down, peering about to find the creature- but I do not see it before it sees me. A flash of red is my only warning before it collides with my neck, and I am falling, tumbling in a spin.

I catch myself as I land, propping up on my wings and exhaling a burst of gas to gain air, but too late. The monster strikes me again, and I have no choice but to fight it on its terms, mandibles to maw.

I try and bite the thing but it moves too fast, tearing and ripping at me with its small, spongy jaws, battering me with its sturdy legs.

Then, an opportunity- one of its tails are exposed. I lunge forward to get my mandibles around it, and the Yeek moves with such a sudden alacrity that I realize in horror that this thing has simply been toying with me up to now. The near miss on my part brings the game to an end.

As I fall, my lifeblood oozing from a dozen or more wounds, my last glimpse is of the nest of this monster that would upend the rules of prey and predator.

There, in that nest, I see my mask, resting atop a pile of fifty or more trophies just like it.

In that last moment, I understand that my fate was sealed from the moment I had the ill fortune to cross paths with The Red Yeek.

[dire ice]

I think i'll write tomorrow, still gotta do art month and also I need to study a bit before eeping

maybe

[granite kelp]

That, I could work on

[patent lichen]

In the moment I lost my mask I understood the true weakness of my flesh. The silly thing was the only thing that kept me from being a target of my own kind, of those i thought would be my allies. What a cruel joke. And even crueler the fact that someone who looked like me, but missing everything that rendered them as a kin, was the root cause of my looming demise.
Oh, if I only could be made of metal like my enemy, my boogeyman. But metal was not the best in the sky. A well-aimed harpoon could topple that pile of royal scrap. And there would be enough material scattered to replace what has been stolen from me. A mask made of its glowing wings, yesss.
You took my pride, I will take your everything.

Just a few silly words

[granite kelp]

The first line sounds like a mechanicus

[patent lichen]

ripped straight out of their prayer books

[dire ice]

I swear to god my brain started autofilling to "I craved the strength and certainty of steel"

[granite kelp]

[dire ice]

Also yoo soul prompt

[patent lichen]

i was bored and got lost here :P

[tame cosmos]

[dire ice]

Hehe you won't leave now /silly /lh

[tame cosmos]

[royal vessel]

These are sick reads

Maybe i’ll join next Wednesday

[coarse cedar]

more storyers

[twin pelican]

Just made it up

[quick thicket]

mood

[late oyster]

😭

[twin pelican]

It’s menta be like a ronin but for vultures

Some kinda silly vultures=samurai thing I’ve been thinking about

[granite kelp]

Ronin for vultures? 👀

[late oyster]

made up words are cool but you kinda gotta define them cause you had my ass researching a "commune in the Ardennes department in the Grand Est region of northern France, located on the banks of the Meuse River. It is known for its historical significance and local attractions."

[twin pelican]

[jade pendant]

no way it's wednesday

[late oyster]

I wanna write something but I have sooo many assignments

[dire ice]

Happens

[dire ice]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QTBqDJWyurhaW5cszIL_axuDCi7H5BcWg37gPxHsRd4/edit?usp=drivesdk

Done for today

Not sure if i like how i structured it tbh, with one half being two paragraphs and the other being constant linebreaks

Fun fact, originally i was gonna do this from the perspective of an overseer, like an iterator-ran nature documentary

Sounded fun but i wasn't sure how feasible it was

[jade pendant]

I am starting to think I don't understand this channel

[patent lichen]

It mainly is meant to get us writers out of a slump by competing in a friendly writing competition to a certain topic. View it as the equivalent to a practice sketch.

[jade pendant]

yeah buh

where do the prompts come from

I might be illiterate but I see writing and no prompt

[jade pendant]

this prompt?

[quick thicket]

its pinned

and also theres a spreadsheet

if you look in pins

you should find it

[jade pendant]

pins!!!!!

I would never forget to look at that

[late oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/rahhhh-rah-rahh-rahhh-gif-5289302154584727076

I was trying to emulate the way William Golding portrays children in Lord of The Flies, (probably one of the most faithful snot-nosed-goober depiction in all of literature) and I think I did a pretty alright job.

Also I know the King-Vulture mask has a triangle and not a chevron but a chevron would be so much cooler lore-wise and also I just really wanted to use that word

[tall yarrow]

Does anyone have any big story ideas/concepts?

I wanna write something unique

Or at the very least original

[late oyster]

I have some

1. A character is given immortality and sent back in time to the beginning of civilization

2. A journalist fakes their own death after a city they're visiting is bombed

3. A traveling bard or something like that who always ends up running into tragedy or major historical events despite their best efforts, always managing to survive each one.

[tame cosmos]

For RW fics?

[tall yarrow]

Yes

[tall yarrow]

RW Fics and random stuff ig

If not rain world than something elderich/horror like

[tame cosmos]

Maybe something about Arti’s mysterious mate?

[quick thicket]

Arti adopted children like how you adopt children :know

:know

[tame cosmos]

Fic from the perspective of Arti’s pup

Specifically the one that dies second

[quick thicket]

Or she had a mate and they left her with two children as a single working mom without paying child support

[tame cosmos]

Maybe they left because she’s completely insane or something

[quick thicket]

Maybe she was insane from the start

Maybe in reality her children were suffering and she was too crazy to see it

Their deaths were an escape

[jade pendant]

adding schizophrenic and clinically insane next to the giant list of war crimes

[granite kelp]

Arti prompt

[tame cosmos]

I like this prompt

[vague oriole]

gonna awaken from the dead and say: a story from the perspective of one of artificer's fallen childs, who is somehow a ghost (fuck lore idc) who watches artificer commit crimes against scavengers would be peak

also i need to start doing more of these i've been really bad about it

[quick thicket]

Uoooo

Ghost baby watches mommy they thought was kind and gentle covered in blood

“I dont recognize you anymore; what happened?”

[vague oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-skywalker-darth-vader-younglings-sith-revenge-of-the-sith-gif-16103443

imagine arti being so heated they fail to recognize their own child

[granite kelp]

We like arti

Arti is a good character and nothing bas happened to her /j

[vague oriole]

arti is NOT a bad character and they DO NOT have horrible morals and practices

https://tenor.com/view/1984-gif-19260546

[granite kelp]

Understandable

[vague oriole]

should i participate in the next writing prompt

[granite kelp]

[dire ice]

idk, should you?

Rain World Isekai

[marble mirage]

Join the next WPW or I’ll make sure another Rain World longfic gets canceled.

[vague oriole]

😱

ngl i need to find motivation to continue my RW longfic but i hate writing in slugcat diction

so you might have to cancel mine

[late oyster]

that's already a thing but the more the merrier

[stone osprey]

||Yes I know ReZero is a thing ||

[late oyster]

ReZero isn't a Rainworld isekai???

Am I missing a joke here>

[stone osprey]

||Return by Death||

[tall yarrow]

I don't usually like writing about slugcats or relationships, sowwy

Ittys...

[late oyster]

?????

[tall yarrow]

Wha

[late oyster]

sorry, replying to this

[tall yarrow]

Ohh

Oki

[stone osprey]

||Return by Death = once dead, you go back to a specifically unknown checkpoint, similar to an in-lore cycle.||

[late oyster]

Okay??? That's still only tangentially related to isekai???

[tall yarrow]

Anyone have any Iterator fanfic ideas?

[late oyster]

nope!

[tall yarrow]

Waahh

Anyway check your gimmicks on your strawpage

[late oyster]

https://i.redd.it/wm1u3h0xxtle1.gif

[storm hemlock]

I've always assumed this one the most readily, from what little we saw they didn't seem to have any particular modifications

In my head she was a purposed messenger who defected, and that she found two pups who had been washed away from their family by the rains

it'd be even more poetic if she was designed explicitly to combat scavenger populations colonizing their iterator's can, but she had no real desire for violence until the events we see in her flashbacks

[quick thicket]

[tawdry idol]

That was what I went with in my fic as well.
Also Idk, I felt like that'd be equally tragic; failing the self-imposed responsibility

[dire ice]

Actually, is marooned meant to reference artificer's color?

[potent socket]

You're slow. /lh

[dire ice]

I thought it was sth related to sailing or sth which i now realize i had no basis to think cause i did not even check and i just made it up

[silent ibex]

[jade pendant]

You FAIL sleeper audit. 12:30am???

[quick thicket]

Um i feel asleeps at 1:30 am in morning

:3

[late oyster]

It is! To be marooned means to be left on a deserted island.

I didn't even know marooned could refer to the color until now

[dire ice]

Tbh i thought it was something to do with mooring lines

[tawdry idol]

I intended that to be a pun on marooned as in 'left/abandoned' and the color yeah

[dire ice]

Tree, where is the prompt tree /lh

[late oyster]

https://i.redd.it/wm1u3h0xxtle1.gif

[tame cosmos]

Fuck

I was distracted

HEAR YE HEAR YE

TREE WAS ON A DATE AND MISSED MOST OF WRITING PROMPT WEDNESDAY TUESDAY, BUT THE PROMPT SHALL BE THUS:

That Damm (Blank)

"An echo is particularly anoyyed with something in their surroundings. They try to get help. It doesn't go well. (Or maybe it goes too well?)"

[tame cosmos]

[quick thicket]

[dire ice]

AYO??

[potent socket]

Also, our Tree, on a date?

Lovely!

[tawdry idol]

Ooo
This sounds hard actually. An echo?

[bronze raptor]

time to have an echo talk with BOA and get whatever they're annoyed with airstriked SKULL_SKELETON

[marble mirage]

I hate poetry.
Started this from an errant thought of shrines being built at an echo's location. Evolved past the prompt.

anyway, this week's WPW has been decided

Saving Private Itty

"a quiet and reclusive iterator, one of the first to ever be built, has cut themselves off from most all communication for a long time. Another iterator, someone with absolutely no connection to the first, only knows of their existence after reading about them and other pioneer iterators in a journal article. After the announcement for the upcoming mass ascension, iterator 2 realizes that this stranger which they read about would have absolutely no way of knowing what is about to happen. Becomes inexplicably but singly obsessed with finding and reaching them, to warn them of the inevitable before it comes to pass"

[dire ice]

[quick thicket]

your WPW

idk if it was meant to be so but

[dire ice]

This one?

[quick thicket]

yep

[dire ice]

Well I did not mean for it to be but i am not a pro at writing emotions

[quick thicket]

i found him to be

yes genuine in his (their?) distress

but how they proclaim it is overdramatic and comical in its effect

so

[dire ice]

Uh

Yeah i meant it to be distressful and not overdramatic or comical

[dire ice]

No given gender

[quick thicket]

how the no's are at the end, almost like

how someone trying to do it

comically does it

idk just came off that way to me

[dire ice]

Well then how could it be less overdramatic, you reckon?

[quick thicket]

uhhhhhhhmmmmmm depends on their character,,,, maybe saying one NO or many nonononnonono kinda gives off different vibes???

while still being dramatic

i mean

distressful

it removes that comical effect for me?

idk

uh

[dire ice]

Hm, good point

[quick thicket]

idk what

i m doing

[dire ice]

I mean, 1st part is supposed to be more silly

Ahem prompt

let’s go gambling!!

“iterator teaches their slugcat about the concept of card games, and even manages to play a little bit of a simple game before they run off distracted. Later, their slugcat returns with armfuls of sticks, rocks and dead bugs, and now the iterator must try to comprehend the game which their slugcat has invented.”

writing because I was very tired but could not sleep, the best medicine

it's unifished because I can feel my eyes closing on their own

@dire ice I really hope you don't mind, I borrowed Waves and Spacefarer for this excercise because I couldn't think of a pair who fit this dynamic better

They are lovely! And very fun to write!

[dire ice]

this is now cannon to the wavesverse and i will nitpick everything /j /silly /lh

[late oyster]

Thought up a new prompt: a slugcat enters an iterator's chamber and begins to gesticulate frantically. The iterator is forced to play charades to find out what the slugcat is so worried/excited about

[dire ice]

You can add it to the list

[late oyster]

I'll do it when Im at my conputer

[dire ice]

well, i have to say, i think you have nailed it

except for the science aspect but shhh /silly /lh

||vent diver spacefarer|| is so funny

[dire ice]

Hmm I might do the prompt tomorrow

[tame cosmos]

[marble mirage]

Sloppy work. Rushed. Lore might be wrong.
Eh, it's late.

Right before I drop the next prompt

[dire ice]

[tame cosmos]

Not a moment promptless

[dire ice]

Idk how to do those

[marble mirage]

Time to write more iterator logs!
At least I finished chapter 2nd draft. This'll probably go by faster.

[tame cosmos]

Struggle. Would've been better off doing a far longer fic. Ah well.

(Okay so I guess this is a series now! This message a reply to part two, I recommend reading the previous parts if you haven't already. I'll try to do original stuff from now on, this prompt just gave me an idea that really works with the series. I might make a bigger series of this on AO3 at some point, who knows)

Someone (scug, benefactor, scav, itty) finds a Mass Rarefaction Cell. What do they do with this relic? And where could it have come from?

Now time to slumber

[tame cosmos]

[jade pendant]

nomnomnom peak literature

[tame cosmos]

alright WPWers

this week's prompt is.......

Split Soul

"An iterator, searching for freedom creates a slugcat body to reside in but the creature slowly gains consciousness and fights against the iterator who created them, two souls in one body." || <@&1191913546284544200> pin shuffle ||

[ashen cliff]

Woah, cool prompt

[dire ice]

i was about to pin it

The ending got cut a little short, and the story probably contains a bit less drama than what the prompt implied, but whatever go my story about two characters in one body mentally bickering
(lmk if you really want to know how the ending was going to turn out, it's not the greatest but it's kind of silly and wholesome I guess)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cF4s9H_Y_Xg0r75q_MtLtYDWVcg5yrmIzXCycwuK7DQ/edit?usp=drivesdk okay this one is VERY late but i like how it turned out, midnight writing yet again, deviating from the prompt yet again

Also @tame cosmos you silly you forgot to update the prompt /lh

[tame cosmos]

Dammit I was hoping nobody would notice

[dire ice]

I noticed thursday but i didn't have my thing ready so i just so happened to "forget" to point out until them

[tame cosmos]

You bastard we were supposed to cover up our laziness together /j

[dire ice]

Yeah but i need a prompt to maintain the illusion of productivity /lh

[tame cosmos]

Alright WPWers, it’s time for Tree to spin the wheel :)

[dire ice]

When exactly? /lh

[jade pendant]

When exactly? /EvilHearted

[tame cosmos]

I sent that during my lunch break but then my computer wouldn't start

[tame cosmos]

such cruelty

ahem anyway

the wheel has decided the winner

Arti tries not to relive her trauma (funny)
"artificer babysits smelvin over the weekend while gourmand is away for work. she isn't quite sure how to take care of a slugpup after having been alone for so long, but gourmand trusts her, so she'll try her best and take care of his little pride and joy. shenanigans ensue." || <@&1191913546284544200> ||

[granite kelp]

A worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary! /ref

(for wroting)

[jade pendant]

this could go anywere from totally silly to endless trauma

[tame cosmos]

Perfect

[granite kelp]

Say, what's the setting there? 👀

[tame cosmos]

Wasn’t stated in the prompt

[granite kelp]

Modern day it is

[granite kelp]

Say, is it okay I'm gonna make Arti sitting on the couch, watching a boxing match with a swig of whiskey on her paw

[copper hazel]

When do we go

[dire ice]

Hm?

[tame cosmos]

You can write any writing prompt Wednesday prompt whenever you’d like

GOOZMAGA'S PROMPTS OF DEATH AND DESPAIR..

ROTTING REVERB!!

A strain of rot, which has practically fully consumed an iterator structure.. became, sentient.. And it's genetic coding remaining fro mthe ancients (whatever little was left) slowly guides it to what it does withi t's newfound life.

[granite kelp]

👀

[dire ice]

@tame cosmos oh treeeeeeeeeee, where is the new prompt?

[cerulean steppe]

I sense no danger from this message
I feel completely safe
Which would obviously make sense, given that the message isn't targeted at me

[dire ice]

But of course, i am merely checking up on 'ol tree here, nothing more

[tame cosmos]

Ahem

It is, in fact, Wednesday

🥁

Today’s prompt is…

Critical Asset

“Sometimes, a (slugcat/scavenger) works for an iterator. The jobs bring many boons, after all, but one should be careful not to become too valuable. Because when the time comes for them to leave, some gods won't let go.”

This is a very curious idea.

[honest forum]

i forgor

[last aspen]

Wow, another silly interpretation of a prompt by me? No way!
The iterator got a little more cartoonishly evil than I planned, and the argument might go longer than it should, but whatever I think it's alright. Oh yeah also yet another story that I'm considering writing a more "serious" follow-up on based on a random little detail
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CSd0ywOwY9ArjDfb_YfhMUYGbIcCUzqDNbeQ24zDRGQ/edit?usp=sharing

[marble mirage]

Great minds think alike. I wanted to try and make this work with a slugcat, an experiment with a character I'm using in another fic, but I got stuck on how to plan it. Friday came around and I remembered the scavengers. Then I thought about the idea of rarefaction cell sabotage.
