Give Me Fire
I've just crossed a line with you. Tell me off. Don't go easy on me, just let it rip. Let all your frustration out. I want to feel the heat of your blood boiling. Any format, any length.

Guess My Age
I know, I know someone did this already and many thanks to you for the inspiration, but I've always wondered how old people think I am without ever seeing me and just based on my writing. Hopefully, my picture doesn't give much away.

Vows
Vows are often associated with marriage. But how often do we write vows to ourselves? Do it. Write yourself a vow as short or long as you'd like. This is your promise to yourself that you can someday renew if you'd like or reiterate to the end of time. What do you promise yourself? It's a democracy this time. Tag me if you want me to read/react. I've left a link to a sample in an entry to the challenge. Have fun :)

There is one side to everything and those with two have it twice.
Have a one-sided conversation with me. It's a Monarchy based on how interesting/engaging/compelling/witty/humorous/whatever your goal is as long as it's executed exceptionally. You can do it as a stream of consciousness piece, poetry, an excerpt from a story, or any style you'd like as long as it's giving the contents of a one-sided conversation, so anything you write, I'm reading as one-sided dialogue. I really want to hear you/your character, so I'm going to raise the word limit on this one. If it's long, I expect it to be worth it. I know you'll be great and I can't wait to read what you come up with. Go :)

It's That Time Again
Take me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions this time. Make me feel alive or wanna die. I dunno. Just do it! :) It's a monarchy again! Any format or length

Terrible Argument
To avoid favoritism, this is no longer a democracy. Is that ironic? Only if you make it. Give me the worst possible argument. Make me shake my head in disbelief. It can be crass, outlandish, whatever, any format. Tag me if you want a reaction. And don't get mad cause I changed it (I created it on my phone and was limited when it came to challenge settings.)

2nd Person
Write anything, but in 2nd person. Most of the time, things are written in 1st or 3rd. Give "you" a try. Make the reader the main character and be his/her narrator. Any style/format/length. Have fun :) Tag me in a comment if you want a reaction
Here's some info on 2nd person storytelling. I may have done this wrong myself. https://thewritelife.com/second-person-point-of-view/

Grammar Party Poopers
Grammar feels like a language within a language. Am I the only one who feels that way? What's your least favorite grammar rule? Do you have a favorite rule? Is having a favorite writing rule complete nonsense? What are your thoughts on grammar (in any language -- not just English)? Any format, any length. One rule: have fun. Tag me if you want a reaction. :)

Scene X Take Y
Take a scene from any movie (rated G thru R), keep the dialogue the same, but change the setting/situation. You can scrap everything but the dialogue (your characters don't have to have the same names, genders, etc. and the movie doesn't even have to be of the same genre or on the same subject). Ideally, include the name of the original movie and some clue of the scene you're reconstructing. Any length, any format. One rule: have fun. Tag me if you want a reaction :)

Mock Song
Here's another thing I love to do that I often feel is severely underrated: parodies! Weird Al anyone? Well, whatever the case. Take a song and change the lyrics, doesn't have to be a parody specifically, just your alternative lyrics to the same song. Word usage and placement should be at least 30% different from the original song. Any length, any genre. Please add the name of the original song and artist at the end. I'll post a sample. One rule: have fun :) Tag me in a comment if you want a reaction.

Song Line-Up
I like playing this game with my sister: we'll play music at random and make up a story out of the titles, artist names, lyrics, or general themes of the song lineup. Any length, any number of songs, any format. I'll post a sample.
One rule: have fun :)

Thank You, Love
I know Valentine's Day is over, but do we really need a designated day to express what we feel? Write a letter, poem, whatever you want to a future lover or your current partner, whoever you want in a romantic setting. Free for all. I suggest a message of positivity/gratitude, but you can take it wherever the prompt takes you :) Tag me in a comment (not the work cause I won't see it) if you want me to read and comment @tornesornerob

Kids will be Kids? NO, Kids will be Angels or Demons!

In the end, reveal whether the child/ren is/are angels or demons or a mixture (the child was never human and you were never a parent). Any format. DM with questions. Tag @cschmizzle and @tornesornerob in a comment - not in the work itself :)
