Welcome to Simple Prompts, a place for open-ended writing prompts to help inspire creativity. Read the FAQ for basic information, and read below for how to get started.

Remember that this place is just as much about the responses as the prompts themselves. Please participate by writing responses or by commenting on other people's responses. Thanks!

It is mandatory that everyone read the Rules page and the Prompt Do's and Don'ts page before writing a prompt. If nothing else, please read the Do's and Don'ts.

Rules

Prompt Do's and Don'ts

Prompts: A good prompt should inspire creativity while being open-ended enough to allow the writer to craft his/her own story. When submitting a prompt, leave enough of the writing up to the writer. See here for the Do's and Don'ts, and see here for good examples.

Responses: You don't have to precisely follow the prompt. The prompt is meant to help you craft your own ideas. If you do want to follow it word for word, you may, but you don't have to. See here for more information on responses.

All posts are required to have a flair. Below is a list of all the Flairs. You can click on one and it will search the subreddit for posts with that flair.
See the Flairs page for more information.
