#promptsperiment

As I have mentioned before, in my months of absence from tumblr, I have gained a lot of new followers, about 200 to be more exact (350 followers now!) and i want to celebrate this and also celebrate my return to the tumblrverse. 

So, for my next promptsperiment project, I have decided to let you guys have a hand in deciding the prompts I have to do. This is killing two birds with one stone because I left my prompt jar which has all the number in Canada while I’m halfway around the world. 

The Prompsperiment project is basically an experiment to see how many prompts I could use before a story will no longer make sense. So with every experiment, I add the number of prompts I’m going to mash-up until I feel that I can’t make a coherent story out of it anymore. I do not abide to word count restrictions though, because it’s hard haha. Maybe i’ll try it in one if it makes sense... 

I have already done a mashup of 2 prompts (alternate cinderella story + crime) and 3 prompts (monster wrestling arena + identity tattoo + unusual love story). You can view the story’s either by going onto my wattpad (aizekezia1224) or click on the #prompsperiment tag to see all the stuff about this experiment. 

I really want to try to get at least until 7 prompts for this project, but after seeing the difficulty of last time, I wonder if I can do it. I will try though. 

So, next is the four prompt mash up and I’m going to let you guys help me decide which four prompts I’m going to do since I do want it to be random. Just choose a number between 1 and 777, reblog this post adding the number of your choice, and in two weeks, I will randomly choose four of those numbers and do the prompts corresponding to it in the prompts file on my computer. 

If anyone noticed, I have been in absent for like months... (sorry)

This is because the last prompts (which was part of my promptsperiment project) had me very much stumped. For those of you who forgot, the prompt was a combination of identity tattoo + monster wrestling arena + unusual love story. 

I hated what I wrote. It was just so different from something I would write. I know nothing of wrestling, and it was just difficult. That’s it. The story just grew so confusing and weird and I just hated it. So I just stopped writing, which created this era of hiatus where I left this tumblr alone. 

But now I realized that I shouldn’t have given up. This was a promptsperiment, and I got stuck with only just a combination of 3 prompts? I wanted to go up to 10! For the name of creative writing science I cannot give up! This story is not meant to be any award winning story or whatever, it was to test the limits of my creativity and produce stories, even the weird and confusing ones. 

So, yeah. The story for this combination of prompts will be posted very soon. In fact, part 1 will be posted tonight! and so will part 2! YAY! 

It’s not my best work... but I think it’s still ok... 

Anyway, this is just to say that I’m back, and I’m sorry, and yeah... sorry. 

Also... a lot of people followed me during my period of absence... I find this a little disconcerting, but I would also like to thank those who did because they made me feel worse about not finishing the story and became a main motivator to me continuing this tumblr. So I really appreciate you guys :)
