Reynard City writing prompts and tips

For the past month or so we have been posting Reynard City writing prompts for our latest writing contest.

In this blog, we are going to list the full Reynard City writing prompts, 30 keywords and pictures designed to help inspire your ideas for stories, as well as some additional hints, tips and resources to help you with your writing. Remember- the deadline is not until 30th April, so you have plenty of time to complete your work.

Below are some illustrations to go with the Reynard City writing prompts, you can see all 30 on our Deviantart Writing Prompts folder.

General tips

1. Short stories should be no more than six pages
2. You don’t need to do a short story- it can be a monologue, a poem, a sketch, whatever you want.
3. Keep it clean- Different types of stories, genres and so forth are great, but ideally we’d like it as part of the Reynard City story.
4. I know I probably don’t need to say this but the prompts are just a general guide- we’re not expecting you to put them in as keywords or try and put as many in as possible. If you want to use a couple as inspiration that’s fine.
5. Using the pictures is recommended too- Try and imagine a story from a different perspective, or use it as a way of telling a different story but with that picture as inspiration.

Links and resources

Here are some extra resources to help you with your writing-

Sometimes music can help, so we’ve included Vibes and Sal’s playlists too!

We also have John Paul Guerra’s comic videos and roleplay forum.

Don’t forget you also have the original webcomics and character profiles as additional information as well!

Special shoutout

Special thanks to our guest judge Avery K Tingle and to Torathena who is running Verbuary, another fantastic writing contest at the moment.
