Meet INKflow ✒️

Founded in Dec. 2025, INKflow is a work-in-progress website for authors and creatives, made by authors and creatives.

🕒 For those who read past midnight. 📕 For those eagerly waiting for the next chapter. 📚 For those who get lost in stories for months.

📝 For those who write until their eyes close. 💞 For those who love sharing their creations with the world. ✨ For those whose creativity cannot be tamed.

This is a space for every stage of your creative journey. Whether you’re crafting a new story, exploring fresh ideas, or simply getting lost in the worlds others have built, every page, every chapter, and every thought finds room to grow and be discovered.

INKflow • where creative voices find their audience alpha release: june 2026

Where can you find us? You can see our progress here on https://www.inkflow.website. Even if the site isn't accessible yet, we're working hard to launch a beta soon! 🚀

Will INKflow be for fanfictions only? Not at all! We will welcome both fanfictions and original works.

Can I use your prompts in my writing? If it's for private use or part of your writing and you want to copy-paste everything, then yes but we require proper credit. If you want to rephrase the prompt, then you're free to go! Remember all of our prompts here are written by us and taken from our stories. Some of them are already published.

Writing Prompt ✒️ 067

"Is this your first date?"

"It's not a date," he replies.

"But it looks like it. Do you like him?

"No."

She smiles.

"But judging by the look on your face, it seems like a yes."

Writing Prompt #3878

"Pride is going to be the death of you, you know."

"I'm pretty sure bullets are going to be the death of me. If I die young. Otherwise, statistically, a heart attack or something."

[ink-flow]

Writing Prompt ✒️ 066

"Sometimes we simply do what we think is right for the situation or for the people we love. Have you never done something for someone else's sake, regardless of how you felt?"

"He doesn't know what's best for me. I have to have a say."

"Did the others have a say when you made decisions for them?"

[ink-flow]

Writing Prompt ✒️ 065

"If you had a rope in your hands, and that rope represented your life, how would you describe your grip on it?"

"I know what you're doing. You want to understand how much control I feel I have over my life. But don't think you led me to these realisations — I did it all by myself!"

"Yet you're not answering."

tag yourself. I'm both

Writing Prompt ✒️ 064

You are broken, and you have always known it.

No matter how hard you try to put yourself back together, you've been broken since your birth.

Always flawed. Always wrong.

Too dramatic, too intense, too emotional.

Too much.

Flatmates to Lovers

◈ “You made me a coffee?”        “I heard you coming home late last night. figured you'd need it.” “And you were right. Thanks.”

◈ “You should probably get out of here. I'm sick, I don't want to get you sick as well.”        “What? No way. We're in this together, literally. Sit down, I'll make you some tea.”

◈ “Hey, have you seen my sweater– Ah. You're wearing it.”        “I'm sorry, I got cold and all of mine are in the wash. But you can have it back...” “No, it's okay. Suits you.”

◈ ‘you keep having people over for one night and i'm not trying to slutshame you but it makes me uncomfortable and i'm not sure why... oh, wait...’ vs.   ‘you never have people over and i know it bothers you but it secretly makes me very happy and i don't understand why... oh, wait...’

◈ “You look tired. Rough shift, I assume? Want me to make you dinner too?”        “You're an actual angel.”

◈ “What are you– Whoa, what–!”        “Ssh!!! The landlord is outside the window, I'm hiding so we don't have to open the door and talk to him!”

◈ “I heard you stayed up late last night. You okay?”        “What? Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry. Why were you up?” “Oh, just... Couldn't sleep, I guess.”

"I don't talk about a lot of the things I want," she explains, forcing a smile. "And not everything I say is what I mean."

Ways You Can Write a Secret Villain (Without Saying "Villain")

A helpful resource for writers! Follow and reblog for more!

How they blend in:

Helpfulness — always nearby when someone needs help. Agreeableness — nodding along just enough to stay trusted. Politeness — always courteous, never raising suspicion.

When something feels slightly off:

Deflection — redirecting attention before questions linger too long. Knowing looks — reacting to things they shouldn't know yet. Curiosity — interest in how far people can be pushed. Detachment — watching conflict as if it were a game. Amusement — a faint smile at situations that shouldn't be amusing.

How they influence others:

Suggestion — planting ideas so gently that others believe they thought of them. Encouragement — nudging someone toward choices that serve a hidden plan. Reassurance — calming doubts before suspicion can grow.

When their schemes start to unfold:

Strings — events aligning a little too neatly. Timing — appearing exactly when needed. Leverage — knowing the right secret to hold over someone.

When their true nature is glimpsed:

Cold strategy — people becoming pieces on a board. Sharpness — kindness disappearing for a split second. Satisfaction — quiet pride in a plan working perfectly. Silence — letting others take the blame while they step back into the crowd. Calculation — every action revealed as deliberate.

💡 A Personal Note: As an autistic writer, breaking down characters like this helps me capture them clearly without over-explaining. It lets me write scenes that feel real and lived-in, while keeping things moving.

Writing Prompt ✒️ 060

"What could be so important as to be worth resisting so stubbornly?"

"You," he replied with a faint smile on his lips. "You are."

[limitedsympathy]

"I used to think, 'If I stop fighting, what would be left of me?' But then I started to worry about what would be left of you. I can see what all of this is doing to you."

"Then stop resisting me!"

"No! Because I can't risk losing you again! I know what you'll become... And trust me. This is better."

"... I'll never love you."

"No. But you'll live... And that's worth you hating me."

Ways Grief Can Show Up (Without Saying “Grief”)

This is part 2 of my "Show Don't Tell" series—read on the different ways that Fear Can Show Up.

✦ Reblog to keep this for later — writing emotions is hard, and it helps to have references when you’re stuck on a scene.

If you're working on a fanfic, original novel, or short story, I also made a 60-page Novel Planning Template to help organize characters, emotional beats, plot arcs, and scene ideas.

It’s basically the planner I wish I had when I kept abandoning stories halfway through.

You can check it out here if it sounds helpful. No pressure! Just sharing in case it helps another writer finish their story. ✦

WAYS GRIEF CAN SHOW UP

When it first arrives: • Shock — the mind refusing to process what just happened. • Disbelief — this can’t be real; reality feels slightly off. • Numbness — emotions shut down like a circuit breaker.

When it settles in quietly: • Hollowness — something missing from the world’s shape. • Emptiness — rooms feel larger, conversations feel thinner. • Loneliness — even surrounded by people, something important is absent.

When memories surface: • Yearning — the aching wish to see them just one more time. • Bittersweetness — joy tangled tightly with pain. • Nostalgia — the past glowing brighter than the present.

When it lingers in daily life: • Heaviness — every task feels slower, harder to start. • Fatigue — exhaustion that sleep doesn’t quite fix. • Distraction — thoughts drifting back to what was lost.

When it turns emotional: • Sadness — quiet tears or sudden waves out of nowhere. • Guilt — replaying things you wish you’d said or done. • Regret — small memories suddenly carrying enormous weight.

When it overwhelms: • Despair — the future briefly feels smaller than it used to. • Anguish — pain that tightens the chest and throat. • Crumbling — holding yourself together until you suddenly can’t.

When it changes you: • Tenderness — a softer heart toward others’ pain. • Fragility — old wounds reopening more easily. • Quiet resilience — learning, slowly, to carry the absence.
