The Promptcast

21~ The child-The chosen

So we can't write stories on the fly, but we can be really good narrators at war with each other... apparently. Prompt: A story where two narrators are constantly against one another. One always tries to kill off the main character, but the other saves them in the nick of time. What to expect: visual film devices, Merlin references, and an epic quest for the throne (but we didn't really finish that last part). ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

20~ Catch Up

After encountering the wildest brainstorm in April, Lozzie's uni screenplay sees the light of day. If anything, the success of this story PROVES that the prompt book is the most iconic, helpful and successful creation to ever exist. Follow the brainstorm from a boyband dreamscape to a budding love story diving into grief. Prompt: One day, everyone receives a glimpse of their soulmate, although no one understood at the time. As time progressed, stories have come out of those falling in love with those they saw, or already seeing their partners face. You didn’t recognise the person you saw, but one day, years later, you see an interview with a new teen heartthrob and immediately recognize them. What to expect: Lozzie's taking charge voice, deep takes on mourning ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Bonus~ The travellers and the forgotten carousel

In this episode, Chlo shares a deep, short story idea, and a heartfelt love story between a magician and a girl with dark forces driving them apart (not as cliche as it sounds). ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

19 ~ Miraculous, but Mascots

Fun. Funky. Fresh. Except that all of our inspiration is derived from mid 2000's romcoms. Join us in our venture to meeting Sadie St James and Carson Carmichele and all their beautiful basketball blindness. Prompt: The greatest competition between you and the love of your life was a cat. And you’re pretty sure they’re winning. What to expect: a basketball team of RomCom stereotypes, Chlo defending her height honour, discussing what dates sound aesthetic. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

18 ~ The Amber Project

There is always an allure towards secret spies and assassins. But what if one of them came from amber and set out to annoy the best assassin in the most inconvenient ways? That story might be even more interesting. Prompt: You haul in the cereal isle. ‘Never gonna give you up’ by Rick Astley plays over the speakers. It has been stalking you for weeks. You ask those around you what they hear, and they adamantly deny hearing this song. What to expect: getting Rick rolled, assassins, antique clocks, and Camillo the squishmallow. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
