I love stealing inspiration from other sources.

The Prompt

Write A Story Based On A Character or Scenario From A Game

Tips

• This could be a scenario from a video game or a board game (what if you WERE Mario — or met him on the road? What if you were Miss Scarlet. Were you framed?)
• What if you really were living on a farm, trying to meet all its demands, like Farmville?
  What if you were a character in a Sims-like game and gradually started to realize that was the case?
• Think of any game you’ve ever played and use it as a jumping-off point for a story.
• If you think you might publish the story, be sure not to step on anyone else’s copyright (you could use a different “colored” character from a mystery board game that was definitely not Clue/Cluedo)
