The Storyteller Challenge: Sirens Call Publications eZine

22nd February 2012 By Shah Wharton 2 Comments

Here, you have two choices; you’re the storyteller after all.
I want to give a variety of inspiration because some of you work well with a direct prompt, some are more visually inspired.
Read on for this week’s muse magic.Featured Storyteller from last week:

The Write Side – Please do check out this wonderful writer’s story!

For the picture prompt, tell us what is evoked by this image. Who is it? Where is she? Judge her expression: Who is she thinking about, perhaps? You decide. 

Your word count must range within 50 – 600, please. If it doesn’t, and you really must go over, split it into chunks and link to where we can get to the second half, separately 🙂

THE PROMPTS:

Again, poetry or prose is fine for either prompt-type.

To get a different prompt, refresh the page.  I’d love your feedback on the prompts and on the use of a generator for Storyteller. You might find it helpful to bookmark this post and come back to link up your responses on the linky below by Tuesday so that we can stop by. 


ALSO…

Please check out Sirens Call Publications eZine!

It has 66 pages of Stories, Flash Fiction, Artwork & Photography, plus an interview with the fabulous author of Days with the Undead, Julianne Snow!

It’s FREE for a short time, so get it now! Oh, and my story is in it 😛

    Glad you liked the prompt. It's always a difficult thing to do, select things which might inspire others. They inspire me, but thats me. Hope you'll try this picture. 🙂

Dread: A Horror Collection

This is a deeply unsettling collection of British horror. Each story features a post-apocalyptic theme, though each is starkly different from the other.

A Slow Burn:
“I will admit to having read this with the lights well and truly on!! Such vivid imagery[…]I highly recommend this novella to all lovers of this genre.” 

The Dead Party:
“One of the best political satires that I’ve come across in a long time!” 

Rosa and Bella’s Journal Of Decline:
“Brilliant and addictive. Yet another fantastic book from this author.”
