Hello Dan Fans, Tis I, Doctor Jerk, with an important announcement.
Several of our members have been vocal of wanting some suggestions for short stories.
As such, this, combined with inspiration from other forums(especially PPMB), we have decided to introduce a formal writing prompt system. While these have ALWAYS been allowed, we will now set out an official format for writing prompts.
Here's how it works. 1. ALL WRITING PROMPTS ARE TO BE POSTED IN THE FANFICTION FOLDER.
2. THEY MUST NOT BREAK ANY OTHER RULES, SO NO 18+ XXX STUFF, MM'KAY?
3.Stories based on writing prompts should be oneshots, no more then 3000 words. If one has a idea for a full sized story based on a WP, it should get it's own story thread, and give credit to the WP for inspiration.
4. THEY ARE TO BE WRITTEN TO THIS FORMAT
SUBJECT BAR: Writing Prompt(or WP) : TOPIC OF WRITING PROMPT
DESCRIPTION: Detail specifics of the Writing Prompt.
Here's two examples to help clarify. ---------------------------- Subject BarWriting Prompt: Depressed Dan
DescriptionsDan's depressed, write a story about that
------------------------ Here's a slightly more complex one. ------------------------
Subject Bar WP: Double Agent
Descriptions Write a story about how Elise, despite appearing to be a loyal agent of the quasi american shadow government, is actually a double agent the russians. -------------------------
Using this format, I hope our community can use Writing Prompts to spur a Golden Age in Dan Vs fanfiction.

Ok, to clarify, since some people didn't get it....
Writing Prompt replys are not meant to be long. They should be under 1000 words(1200 if you REALLY wanna push it, no more) Ideally in the 250-800 range. Nice, short stories, don't take very long to write, 20 minutes to an hour. Nice, small, ideas, simple.
