FAQ
How long should a story from a writing prompt be?
There's no rule. Many writers use prompts for short flash fiction of a few hundred words, but a prompt can also seed a much longer story.
Can I filter prompts by genre?
Yes. Use the genre chips to narrow results to Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Mystery, Romance, Horror, Slice of Life or Any category.
Are my saved prompts uploaded anywhere?
No. Favorites are saved only in your browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is sent to a server.
