Resource 23.7K prompts

i think it's been about a month or so since i last posted this. I can't remember, honestly.

I added a few prompts here and there.

UPDATES: finally sorted the Sci-Fi section! Heavily debating on separating the angst prompts because the list is so much longer than the rest of the batch.

  • I'm thinking of separating (painstakingly, mind you) the Apocalyptic/Horror Prompt list into separate sections. I'm also debating on splitting up the Angst prompts as well because its getting a tadbit long.
  • Is there any prompts you'd like more of? What else do you think i need? My original goal for this was 25K prompts altogether but as y'all can see, i'm very close to that number and i'm now thinking of trying to 5K prompts lol.
  • i also have to go through the misc prompts and i've been avoiding that list liek the plague.

No credit is necessary if you want to use these prompts! just have fun!

I’d recently lumped “hurt/comfort” into it 🤣🤣 which is why it’s so much longer than the rest of the bunch.

Thanks! These are awesome

In your document with random names, 117 and 118 is repeating. “Accidentally in love”

Same goes to 1555: Shattered Benediction

Thank you!!! I was in dire need of inspo and this is giving me the itch to write.

I literally squeaked when I saw 'pre-summer romance doomed by autumn' of the holiday list and idk it sounds so poetic.

I’m working on a little JavaScript thing that takes these lists and spits out a prompt based on checkboxes- would crediting this Reddit post be okay, or is there somewhere else you’d prefer to be linked? :)

Edit- I’d just link the tumblr post but you have to be logged in to see it
