I really like photo prompts, those are great. Also, maybe a prompt about a house, or anywhere someone could live. Or maybe a photo of a house.

I always liked hearing about my friends absolute craziest dreams. (as in sleep, not goal).

Just and idea. :) 

I agree with ReinaXC. Photo prompts are fun. But I think it'd be cool if the photo prompts were some of the artists' work here on the site. Somehow everyone could submit their photographs, they could be picked, and the selected be the photo prompts? That would be splendid.

You're petting your cat and she starts talking to you. What does she say?

Plugged in— An extraordinary and ever-growing amount of our time is spent on the internet or various electronic devices. How does this really affect our lives, minds and relationships?

Writing about writing/poem about a poem— The writing process itself is, or at least can be, something of an adventure. 

Habits— There are so many things, good or bad, that we do without thinking.

Teachings— The times we learn the most from people are rarely in the classroom. Who has taught you about life over the years?

Promise— A promise you wish you had or hadn't made.

Absolutes— The practical truth: The glass has water in it. The absolute truth: Everything is empty. 

Guilty Pleasures— Unpopular music, silly-seeming movies or shows, candy, taking all the mini-shampoos out of hotel rooms— Why are yours guilty? Why are they pleasures?

Table— I'm sure everyone's already described their dream house before. But when you walk into it on a messy day, what is on the table? 

Just spewing ideas. Feel free to maul them.

especially the guilty pleasures one, that would be fun to write about.

Maybe you could every so often give us one word, and have us write our own defination of it and give an example of the word using an event that has happened to us?

etc

 -Why do we need to learn about technology?  Or why not?  

-Write about someone in your community who inspires you.  No names please.

-Any photo prompts---they're always fun!

-A different type of photo prompt: take your own picture and write about it.  Or for artists--draw/paint/create something and write about it.

-Love.  People write/sing/dream about love all the time.  What is it?  Why do people long for it?  Is it something worth writing/singing/dreaming about?  What does it mean to you? 

-Write about a pet.

-Every summer: what about the summer makes it special?

-(Related to above) What is your favorite season?  Why?

-Write about a movie you recently watched, or a follow-up.  Another version could be about a book you recently read.

-What is it about education that's important, or that appeals to you?

-If you had to choose one thing from everything you have, what would it be, and why?

-You're given a new, empty house to decorate.  Write a story, or describe how you would decorate it. 

-I like the idea about the words.  Using the word <insert word>, write a story or poem, or write something based on the word.  

-There are always lists for "10 Places to See Before You Die", and many different versions.  Create your own, but make it creative and persuasive.  They could be imaginary, or real.   You could use real places and make things up about them if you haven't visited.  Anything works, but be imaginative.  

-Appearances: Is it important to look your best?  What does presentation mean to you?  Why do some people care about their looks more than others?

-You recieve a phone call from a mysterious person.  Write a story about the call.  Create suspense, and reveal the person at the end.

-"She/He was sitting in the diner all alone..." Write a story using this sentence.  

-Listen to your surroundings--sometimes interesting things are said.  Use a quote you hear in your everyday life (no names!)---funny, serious, whatever---and write about it.

I love coming up with these!

Action - write a story/poem of an action scene (battle, running away from someone/thing, etc.)

Photos - take your own photo and write a story/poem about it.

Discovery - a military train has just crashed right outside your house, tons of alien objects get spilled out of it. Write a story about your discovery, and what the objects are.

I really like Sambo's movie follow-up idea, and I second that one! These are all the ideas I have that I think others would like as well.. we'll see what happens with them! (:

Different types of music prompts, what does it make us think about?

Obscure and strange photos, are we seeing what's in the photo? Or, does it remind us of a memory or strange dream?

Not-so-famous Famous quotes, meaning ones we don't hear in school, or in advertising, but are still from someone famous

What if there is too much technology

Once upon a dream

Brain freezes

Does paper feel abused by the pen or paper?

i haven't read through all of the suggestiongs yet (i'm in a hurry) so please don't get made if this has already been suggested;

   ~how about a piece on goals or dreams and how they shape our lives/choices?

   ~last words - poems including last word quotes or creating a story based on the quote explaining what is going on (but it can't be what actually was happening) [its kinda a play on Looking for Alaska by John Green]

so those are two of my ideas. :)

I think specific random things would be cool, like

*towels

*feet

*tissues

*backpacks

*fish

Awfully random but random seems to spark good ideas!

Write about discovering a secret society. HOLD IT! It's not such a great thing. First of all, the inhabitants (smarter than average) don't want anybody to 'discover' them. It's a secret. Plus, with the person who discovered it a blabbermouth, they aren't taking any chances letting her escape.

And what do you think would be the easiest solution to the secret city's problems? Hold her hostage.

Too easy for their advanced brains.

If you guessed kill her before she blabs about it...

 prompt ideas:

your a superhero for a day:  who would you be?

your on a walk:where are you?  where are you going?

from december 14 onward time will go backwards instead of forwards.

each day, one star falls from the sky...

you are on the brink of finding the cure for cancer...

you follow a butterfly....

These just popped into my head.

-What does it mean to feel alive?

-You're writing a letter to evolution, what do you ask for?

-You overhear this bizarre conversation. Who's talking and what are they saying?

^{~Write about why you write/kind of abstract-but write about words themselves.}

^{~What is better-Living with your mistakes and learning, or being able to go back in time and change what you did}

^{Not too many ideas but I thought these two would be cool!!!}

 Write a conversation between your head and your heart, discussing a subject on which they disagree.

Maybe a list of random words--places, things, verbs--that all need to be included in a story or poem.

Taking five characters that already exist (Gandolf, Jack the Ripper, Peter Pan, Donnie Darko and Barnie, for example) and sticking them all in elementary school together. Tell what happens. Decidedly less cliche than a deserted island or empty room.

Best April fool ever. Tell about it or write a story.

Freaky Friday! Who will swap places this time?

Someone from the middle ages shows up in the present. How would they react?

Invisible for a day! What would you/any character do?

There's something in the basement! Tell a scary story with any ending--could be funny, scary, anything.

That's it for now.

You or someone else is given a chance at immortality. Do you/they take it?

you can only use one of the five senses: which would it be?

 description of a super power flying, invisibility ect.

A prompt on any matter of fantasy. I enjoy writing prompts that are all fiction and not true, just fun and adventurous. I think something with magical creatures and magic in general would be fantastic.

-KA

I would really love there to be a prompted having something to do about teen parenting or teens be coming parents or something like that. I find the subject to be fasanating and most of my hidden work is about it. I think it would be really kool to see what other people say about it.

...Humanity. What is it about humans that makes us different from other mammals? The behavior patterns are roughly the same. Our brains actually aren't as big or complex as those of some other mammals. And it is clear that emotion, particularly love, is in no way unique to our species. If we're not the biggest, strongest, most caring, or maybe even not the smartest of creatures, why are we at the top of the food chain? Why are we the ones dominating the earth?

 Too create something! like oh i dont know like,create an animal !

 you are selling something, a house, some land, an animal, a planet i dont know what just something random and you make an add for it but get to decide like what special features it has what it does al that kind of stuff!

 your friend has disapeared, and nobody notices she's gone and everyone says there never was such a person.

 your friend has disapeared, and nobody notices she's gone and says there never was such a person.

An Event- An event that happened in your life that changed your life for good...or for worse. What was the event? What made the event life-changing? Would you take it all back if you could?

For a prompt we should talk about our summer vacation... we could write a poem or a story about where you go for the summer and where you wish you could go and what you would do!!!
