Apr. 21st, 2022 08:32 amhappened across this post with bingo-style prompts the other day, and i know i saw prompt tables like these Back In The Day on lj but haven't tried them since...what, 2005? almost half a lifetime ago. a lot of the "untranslatable words" are so evocative i found myself thinking of specific characters almost right away, so i think i'll take a stab at generating my own bingo with these prompts.
even if i just do drabbles (100 words!) or general flash fiction, this should still be a good warmup for the exchange fic i have to write that will be due in june. i've been spending a ton of creative energy on co-editing an anthology and writing for it and drawing for it and.... exhausting. especially with the person who was supposed to do the cover for our side dropping out at literally the last minute. ANYWAY the end result should still be really cool, since how often do japanese- and english-speaking fans collaborate on something like this? excited to see the end result. it's supposed to be sent to the publishers at the end of this month, before golden week (fingers crossed) so that should free me back up for more personal projects.
a bingo table seems like a low-stakes way to get back into just writing for the sake of writing whether it's original stuff or fanfiction, so i'll probably do a combination since i've also been working on a short story the past couple months with an eye towards getting it published. maybe some of these prompts will help me decide what exactly i want to do with certain sections of the story.
if other people haven't seen these prompts before, here's hoping they find them as inspiring as i do!
