The 2026 Prompts Announcement

[brightknightie]

Thank you for creating our prompt pool! Thirteen community members submitted prompts. Each story must use at least one:

• Long time no see


• the whisper of what could have been


• "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." —William Shakespeare (Hamlet, 1603)


• Sunset


• The frustration of everyday life could be overwhelming at times.


• "Everything is a reenactment." —Errol Morris (Columbia Journalism Review interview, 2017)


• Forced to move on


• The child sat on a small suitcase, jacket neatly folded over one arm, a well loved stuffed bunny tucked tightly in the other.


• "Eat this life til your heart is full." —BTS ("Like Animals," ARIRANG, 2026)


• Childhood memories


• Guess who's coming to dinner


• “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.” —Marcus Aurelius (Meditations, c.161-180)


• Medical experimentation

Forever Knight is many things, including police procedural, historical fiction, vampire horror, psychological drama, urban fantasy, science fiction, and metaphysical metaphor. With all our different approaches and preferences, we're all here to enjoy it together again. Yay, us! Yay, FK!

Soon, I'll put up our all-in-one-place rules/gameplay post. [Addendum: Visit the 2026 gameplay post.] We're on our way! Stories — of at least 500 words — will come due by the end of Saturday, July 18. They'll start releasing July 20 (Monday). Folks may post to our AO3 collection or, following a template, to DW community.

Thanks for playing! Thank you for celebrating FK and each other! ♥

Variety

Yes, agreed! From a single word to phrases, quotations, and a described scene. I hope that everyone who wants to write finds a prompt speaking to them.
