Comfort Zone

Writing/development prompt, 1 June 2018

Comfort zone? Let’s banish it!

This week, write something about SWTOR you’ve never written before. Always write a Smuggler? Write a Jedi or Sith instead. Or maybe, you always write Smugglers or Bounty Hunters who are full of sass and short on respect for authority. Flip that. You’re in an organization with a strict hierarchy that you always obey ... until something new comes along. Some new situation, a new disruptive person, etc... How do you handle that? 

Light Side/Dark Side all the time? That’s an easy one. Write a character with all of your muse’s personality traits, just fighting for the other side. Or faction. 

Empire player only? Never been to Ord Mantel or Coruscant? Guess where you’re going now!!! 

Don’t forget you can share your writings (SWTOR-focused and PG-13 please) via the submissions form here.

Switch Things Up: OTP Edition

Write the classic trope-Someone pretends to be dating someone else in order to stop someone from hitting on them-with a twist:

Person A is the Person hitting on Person B, who doesn’t want their friend to pretend to be dating them, because they’re enjoying themselves.

Switch Things Up

Write about a superhero who wears practical clothing. No capes, no spandex, no bling, just ordinary street clothes and a mask. Are they more or less respected than their fancy counterparts?

Switch Things Up

Write about a siren who has a horrible singing voice. Is it viewed as a birth defect among her fellow sirens? How is she treated because of her voice? Does it still have power?

Switch Things Up

Write about a character you generally ignore.

If you’re writing fanfiction, write about a character that generally doesn’t get much attention in the fandom.

If you’re writing with original characters, write about a character you haven’t fleshed out as much.

Try to write at least a page.
