Call for Writing Prompts: Rebirths, Renewals, and Rediscoveries

[lilfluff]

Greetings everyone! This is a call for writing prompts with a theme of: Rebirths, Renewals, and Rediscoveries. Leave a reply with one or more prompts and I will write at least a microfic or scene (150-300 words) to one of them.

***Call for prompts now closed***

Interpret the theme as you will, and suggest any genre. No porn requests please, I'd prefer not to have to age-lock posts. I don't watch most of the current crop of TV shows, which would make fanfic for those hard, so non-fanfic ideas are more likely to be picked. If for some reason I feel uncomfortable with all the prompts you list I'll reply and give a chance to pick new ones. For egregiously off-topic prompts I shall feel free to borrow from one of Djinni's rules and write about a cat with a fez instead. :) (And as amusing an image as that is, please don't)

The door is open for at least 24 hours and may be extended if I feel like it.

Feel free to use to Writing tag below to review some of what I've posted previously. If can fit a request for a follow up to something in the theme, go for it.

Self-indulgent: A kidnapped American finds a new life, a rebirth, in Tir na Cali.

A rediscovered planet, my favorite sci-fi trope.

A festival of renewal, of reaffirmation of those things that need to be affirmed, and rebuttal of those to be thrown out. What's left un-affirmed? What's thrown out that shouldn't be?

Just learned what Logan's Run was . Renewing your breathing license.

Also... I love this theme idea.

"Misfile:"

Getting a second chance at being 17 again, as per the comic's idea.

Nine lives: Why doe the cat have a fez in only its 9th life (or is that the 8th)?

The cat's fez got shredded, and needs either fixing or replacing.

moving to a new place, meeting nice neighbours

renovating a house (maybe putting in more windows? It's the living-in-a-house-with-north-facing-windows speaking...)

getting a new pet

Emerging from baptismal waters.

Finding something cool in the attic, getting excited... and then remembering why you left it there the last time.

Moving residence.

When a dam is destroyed and the river is free to run again, allowing salmon to return to their original waters.

Much longer than I planned on it taking but this prompt has now been written to.

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! This is an excellent piece of ecological science fiction. I have linked it on my LJ.

A truck tire finds it has been recycled and is now playground surface-padding (you know, like grass used to be).

Same thing for a glass bottle -- recycled several times and holds something different each time: sodapop, medicine, jam -- and what it thinks about that and its contents.

A person realizes that a recurring dream is actually past-life recall.
