Let us help you come up with an AWESOME idea. Start here...
If you’re stuck for an idea, and REALLY want to write something, have a play around with these story prompt generators. Many different genres to get you going.
As with all these things that Written Off Writing gives you, you’re not bound by the results, rules, form or function. If you click a sci-fi prompt and think- that would be so cool in a post-apocalyptic setting, then run with it.
These generators will have their content updated, changed at random times. There will be more added over time. So keep an eye out for more!
Get wired to the core! Jack into the net, battle ICE and look so cool while doing it. Twisted technology, mega-corporations and chooms looking for the next score.
Venture to a world of dragons and wizards, and knights need rescuing by princesses. Magic and mischief, adventure and treasure, all this and more await you!
Take to the stars! Explore space stations, far-flung worlds or abandoned spaceships. Encounter aliens, bounty hunters, and princes in distress!
Cogs and clocks, well-dressed gents and ladies on a mission. Craft a story with steam-powered mechanisms in an alternate history.
After the fall of civilisation, the survivors carry on. What ended it all? Was it war? Environmental catastrophe? Alien invasion? Build the new future and build a new world with this prompt for post-apocalypse.
Dragons in business suits, sirens as street buskers, powerful magic users drinking fancy coffees in keep cups while they ride the train. Urban fantasy is the chaotic blending of the everyday with the whimsical and magical.
Spooky and scary and things that go bump in the night. Zombies, vampires and more! Be the hero, or be the monster, and get dark and dreary! Muahahahaha.
Mosey on into town, riding on your horse. Be a sheriff, be an outlaw. Rustle cattle, put snakes in their boots. The spirit of the Old West waits for you.
Adventure on the high seas! Lost treasure, marooned on tiny coral atolls, shanty towns and dockside villas. The Royal Navy, freebooters, and rum-runners, such is the life of a pirate! ARRR!!
Create tales of the afterlife. Hunt demons through the inferno, get involved with heavenly plots. Meddle in the affairs of mortals, attend grand feasts in the celestial halls, or walk the aisles of the Great Library of Flames.
You know that classic joke- a PERSON, a PERSON and a PERSON enter a BAR. Will, this is like that, except the types of characters can be strange, and the locations are out of this world!
If you’ve ever played Dungeons and Dragons, you know the classic dungeon crawl is a staple of that play. Here is something along those lines- a dungeon, but not as you know it; three different kinds of adventurers, and a quest!
Need a random religion for your story? Have a Paladin but don’t know who his spiritual sponsor should be?
Enjoy this humorous and potentially silly random religion generator.
Here is a generator of different kinds of genres. From your basic horror, science fiction and fantasy, to buddy-cop films, high school musicals and wholesome goth. Really take your writing challenge somewhere different.
Suddenly! A plot twist! Inspired by the popular Plot Twist events run by Written Off Writing, here is a list of actual plot twists thrown at writers during those events. If you ever hit a writer’s block, twist your plot and follow where it may lead!
