Writing Prompts
You've made it to Hero High, the high school tailored to students with superpowers. Your super strength makes you a target of recruitment for pretty much every sports team, and otherwise garners a lot of attention. What everyone else doesn't know is that your strength isn't your superpower--you just work out a lot. You do have a real superpower, but it's something completely different...
Please tell me if you think this would be useful for you. I'm working on a story plotting app which focuses on **value changes** as the basis of the app. For each section of the story (beat, chapter, act) there are value changes (characters getting closer or further from some goal, threat, or other value). And I want to visualise these changes on a graph, so you can see how everybody's fortunes rise and fall. There will still be the standard components, something similar to index cards to plot out the actual action of each chapter and beat. But the unique addition that I'm bringing here is you can see everybody's changes of fortune, like watching the stock market, or maybe like reading music. It will be a desktop application (written in python and JavaScript). So, does anybody think this would be useful to your writing? Are there other things you might want to see added to such a piece of software?
Not my own idea, but one of the writing prompts from the "other site" that I immensely enjoyed. ;)
Earth sends its most distinguished diplomat to make a good impression. Then the alien representative introduces himself - Biggus Dickus.
Dead people came back alive and were sitting in rows. The rows were younger variant of Jesus Christ, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and many, many more. The school is filled with students, the most important figures from history from two thousand years ago up until recently were all here. You came into that class you were assigned into with a teacher, she told you to introduce yourself to the class...
Humanity has discovered FTL travel. All trips in the direction of the galactic core vanish without a trace. Plotting the disappearances reveals two things: 1. They outline a sphere. 2. The sphere is expanding at the speed of light.
Bonus points if you don't do something like "the main character considered themselves the hero and the story is narrated from their perspective"
