Over the last few weeks stories to the lists and archive are getting scarce. Consequencly, the Makebelieve archive is in desperate need of new stories, so I'm sending these authors choice prompts and fandom specific challenges and prompts in the hope some will stimulate some new stories. If you have some old stories you'd like to share as well..all better. <br>
<br>If you need new story ideas, or if you have some to share, daily prompts are posted with these communities<br><br><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Minutefic">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Minutefic</a><br><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TenMinutesWithTheMuse">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TenMinutesWithTheMuse</a><br>

No need to be to focused on the the specifics, although that could be good too, but I encourage you to use them to brainstorm something vague, or go for the jugular, its all up to you. If something in a fandom prompt inspires in a different fandom, or character, run with it. <br>
