Specific Prompt:
I want you to travel through time and space (but not to the world of the Mighty Boosh, because that would be copyright infringement, which is a no-no). Instead, I want you to create your own universe. Think of what inspires you. What are you interested in? Fairies, outer space, talking trees? Whatever it is, use it to your advantage and think of something interesting. Create a world. That's your challenge. Create a rich, unique, and interesting world. It could be a long term project, ideally. Half-ass attempts rarely come off as unique or interesting.
Fan fic Prompts:
Mighty Boosh: Yes, now I'm telling you to travel to the world of the Mighty Boosh (since it's fanfic and not for profit). Howard and Vince come into contact with vampires. Be as cracktastic as possible, please.
Battlestar Galactica: AU. What would've happened if Starbuck never died? Would they ever have found Earth? Think of all the implications of what would've been and create an alternate universe based on that.
Being Human: Mitchell/Annie (my new lovely ship). Mitchell and Annie can't die (they're both already dead). What are the implications of that? Unlike George, they're essentially immortal (barring any stakes through the heart or another one of those Death Doors). How does their immortality connect them?
Write a story including the phrase:
"Well, isn't this a right loading of f*cking piss?" (Forgive the asterisks. I'm unsure of Blogger's policy on swearwords and I don't want my blog taken down over something silly.)
Use this song for inspiration:
"That Thing You Do" by The Wonders (Yes, it's a movie song. But I love it, and I just got done watching the movie.)

What else?
Specific Prompt:
The idea for this one was inspired by Andrew's newest post. His vivid descriptions are the perfect example of how descriptions in fiction should be; they show, without telling, and without tiring the reader.
So, my challenge for the Specific Prompt is to write a story set in the 20's. Saturate it with vivid descriptions which SHOW the reader the world. It was a different time then, describe it and breath into it life with your pen (or keyboard).
Fanfic Prompts:
Family Guy: Crackfic. (What else?) Peter invents a new kind of telescope. Use your imagination.
The Mighty Boosh: Crackfic. (What else?) Howard and Vince travel to Naboo's homeworld.The Head Shaman tags along.
Star Wars: Obidala. AU. Padme survives Episode III. What happens afterward?
Write a story including the phrase:
"Well, this was one trippy experience."
Use this song for inspiration:
"Daydream Believer" - The Monkees
One Word Prompts:
Spill
Fever
Chills
Sing
Laughter
Sanguine
Eloquent
