FIRST FROST FIRST FROST HOME ♦ CHALLENGES ♦ PROMPTS ♦ FAQS ♦ REWARDS ♦ ENTRIES HOME ♦ CHALLENGES ♦ PROMPTS ♦ FAQS ♦ REWARDS ♦ ENTRIES Prompt Guidelines   Please include the prompt number you are using in the foreword of your story.  All challenges currently require prompts, though future ones may not.  You may use as many or as few prompts as you want (with a minimum of 1).  If more than five people take the same prompt, it will become unavailable for other contestants and will be struck through.  (Each prompt has • beside it for each person that uses it.)

Image prompts at the moment are largely EXO Lotto- and EXO Monster-themed and for the foreseeable future will remain EXO-related (though feel free to use them as inspiration for other groups).  All quote prompts are attributed.  Scenario prompts you may use as closely or as loosely as you wish, so long as they are clearly in the plot – it's completely possible two contestants might pick the same scenario and one end up with a fantasy story and the other with a psychological thriller.  I may expand prompt categories into other areas in the future.

Note: More prompts may well be added from time to time while the challenge gets going and/or when a specific challenge finishes and a new one starts.
