[DAV ALL SPOILERS] [OC] Time To Be Storytellers: The Dragon Age Weekly Writing Prompts- 8 Years!
Good morning everyone! Welcome to the writing prompt thread for the Dragon Age series. I hope everyone has fun and lets their muses fly free and they have an excellent weekend!
GUIDELINES FOR THE WRITING THREAD
The thread is now eight years old, and with it also comes something new: Existing with the release of a new game in the series.
A refresher for the guidelines for the thread:
As always constructive criticism and interaction is always welcomed and encouraged on the thread. Drama and negativity is not welcomed. This is a thread for engagement and interaction and a creative space for the fandom.
Feel free to add prompts to the linked doc above. Whether it’s a specific pov, a line of dialogue, an AU of sorts, a theme choice or whatever strikes your interest. Label it, then add the prompt.
Due to limits on reddit, and to make the thread easy to read, word limit is 1500-1800. Please do not put your writing in multiple posts. It makes the thread hard to read. If it goes beyond the limit, please link it to A03, Google Docs, etc. Please keep all visible content SFW. ANY CONTENT THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED NSFW MUST BE PLACED IN GDOC OR ON A WEBSITE AND LINKED-This Thread is To Be SFW If you are unsure about something, then put it in a doc and link it, just to be on the safe side.
4 prompts- 3 plus freeform.. Every now and then there will be Challenges, or Themes. Every 5 to 6 weeks will be Catch Up Weeks. If you are interested in a specific prompt, challenge, or theme to appear, please don't hesitate to PM me on Reddit or Discord. Also, the prompts are for any character set in the Dragon Age Universe, in any form of media. Ranging from Original Characters, to an NPC in the game or comic, or anything that happened in the books.
MOST IMPORTANT: PLEASE HAVE FUN! Make us cry, laugh, growl in frustration, cover our faces in secondhand embarrassment, snicker, or awwww at the disgustingly cute fluff. And I want to continue to thank everyone for their part in making this an awesome place to indulge our creativity.
With Dragon Age Veilguard out, the thread is allowing stories pertaining to Veilguard’s story and companions- with the restriction that for the next couple of months, all DAV stories will be appropriately spoilered, or linked offsite, for those who have not yet played the game and do not wish to be spoiled. Please take care with this.
Also- HOLY COW. 8 YEARS OLD!
THE PROMPTS- reminder- any and all DAV content please be appropriately spoiler barred and or linked offsite out of respect to members who have not played the game yet. ALSO! It’s been 8 years! To celebrate the thread’s 8 years anniversary, the next two weeks will be 8 prompts, focusing on the number 8 for the prompts. Due to the length that some of these prompts may take you, don’t hesitate to link them
