Winter/Christmas Writing Prompts
Okay, seeing as I couldn’t find a list I liked, I’m making my own, with a mix of dialogue and conceptual prompts because why not.
Feel free to prompt for any ship I’ve written, regardless of whether or not I’ve been writing them recently. Also, feel free to adapt the prompts to fit the universe better (like for SWTOR or DA or something).
“What do you mean we’re out of hot chocolate?”
cuddling by the fireplace
winter sport of your choice
“What’s that smell… are you making cookies?”
“You invited over HOW many people to the holiday party?!”
“Wait, did you spike the eggnog?”
“Where did all of this mistletoe come from?”
“I’m a grown adult. I don’t want to take a picture with Santa Claus.”
“Your hands are freezing!”
“Aren’t you cold like that?”
“Seriously, I told you that you would get sick going out like that.”
“What do you mean you don’t want to go sledding?”
watching movies under a pile of blankets
“I swear to god, if you sing another goddamn Christmas carol…”
“Where on EARTH did you get that sweater?”
“How did you manage to get tangled up in tinsel?”
“Let’s go for a walk! No, we won’t freeze.”
“Here, let me help you with the scarf.”
spending time with family
“We’ve got a white Christmas!”
“Did you eat all of my holiday chocolate?”
“Where’s all of your holiday spirit, you Scrooge?”
“You know, when you said ‘Christmas party,’ this isn’t what I was expecting.”
“Come on, just wear the Santa hat for a little bit?”
“There’s no way I’m letting you spend Christmas alone.”
“Hey, cut it out. It’s the holidays.”
“Nope. This is not happening. It’s CHRISTMAS.”
“Wait, you’re not going home for Christmas?”
“Oh come on, it’s just a tradition.”
“You’re under the mistletoe so stop stalling and just kiss.”
“Just open the damn present.”
“Hey, stop laughing and put the damn topper on the tree already.”
“If you don’t go to sleep right now, Santa’s not coming.”
“I mean, I knew you had Christmas spirit but this is ridiculous.”
“What do you mean, Santa’s not real?!”
running into each other at the airport
“No, you’ll burn the house down.”
“This is not for holiday cheer. This is blackmail.”
“Did you seriously get me a pony for Christmas?”
“No more holiday movies. Please.”
“Those cookies were for Santa!”
“I’d like the snow a lot more if I didn’t have to drive in it.”
“You want to go to the mall now? ARE YOU CRAZY?”
“Shhhhh, don’t tell [pronoun of choice]!”
“Ummm… Thank you very much for the fruitcake. I’m sure it’ll be, uh, delicious.”
“Wait, you mean this whole time, you hated peppermint?”
“I feel like there’s more frosting on you than on the gingerbread.”
“What are you doing with that mistletoe– oh.”
unexpectedly spending the holidays together
“But that carol doesn’t even make any SENSE!”
“I guess… this is when we kiss?”
“No, we’re not getting a puppy for Christmas. Stop. Asking.”
“You don’t put marshmallows in your hot chocolate? YOU HEATHEN.”
“You’re going to New York for New Year’s? Are you nuts?”
“So… what are your plans for New Year’s?”
“You’re perfectly welcome to kiss whomever you wa–”
“Do NOT throw that snowball or else!”
“Did everyone else come with a date?”
“Hey, want to help me get my parents off my ass about not having a date?”
“Don’t you have anything else spirited that isn’t as much of an eyesore?”
“Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, love.”
