Job Openings: Philosophy and Prompts

Jobless? Inquire Within

This page will be updated with new ideas, prompts, failed projects, and nightmares. Please remember to tag me with the published story so I can include the title here and see where my corruption spreads. Headings are included to make it easier to find things and you're free to change the title or characters if you'd like.

Prompts included here will probably take more than 10,000 words to fulfill. No single bird got time for that shit on top of their current stories.

( X ) It's Show Time: The Hunger Games, American Idol, and YouTuber's Life combine in a new YouTube gameshow where aspiring YouTubers compete to get the funding, views, and networking they need to make it big. No more spamming in the comment section or buying subs. Competitors participate in Survivor-esque challenges to be recorded and posted online, and the weakest link is harshly and publicly eliminated by their opponents. How much of your soul are you willing to sell to get sponsorships, and how much do your family and friends really mean to you?

It would be interesting to see a SteemKar-like character as the host but not necessary. (He really doesn't need any more publicity. Don't speak his name!) Feel free to use other fandoms or ideas in the story. You could get some interesting love triangles and kinks going there if every corner of YouTube is in this together. Imagine vloggers, cookers, gamers, item smashers, reactors, and conspiracy theorists all doing ASMR together.

( X )Heart Strings: (The original, cheesy, trope-ish idea for "Stage Four" and "White Christmas" from Crack Attack.) Have you ever laughed just to feel an overwhelming wave of sadness that makes the laughter die right in your throat? Have you ever felt a longing to do something, anything, but you just didn't have the energy to move? When you feel so deeply, intricately connected to someone you don't even know who is out there somewhere waiting for you, or waiting for something... Do you trust them to do the right thing?

Preston found out he was dying today. He didn't know how, he didn't know why. But he did know for sure it was happening and had been for a while now, all thanks to the person tugging on the other end of his heart string. He is dying from lung cancer because the stubborn, suicidal prick on the other end won't stop tugging and pulling and straining and cutting. After all, when one dies, the other dies, too. But how do you find them in time to stop them from ending both of you? Will he be able to overcome his and his family's distaste for their Unholy love or would it be easier to just let them both fade away in peace? Does the other guy have the right idea to just end it all?

( X ) Let It Go: Years after a very nasty break-up and complete radio silence between them, Mitch learns that his ex-best-friend and ex-partner has met his untimely end. But he hasn't quite let the ugly past go. Unfortunately, Jerome the jokester still likes playing pranks - and it's no fun being on the other side of them these days. What used to be rigged video games and fake dog shit has taken a turn for the worse: 3D shadows creeping on all fours across the ceiling, broken knives sticking out of the wall, doors and windows nailed shut when you don't even own a hammer, lightbulbs bursting into flames and exploding when you try to turn the lights on, the neighbour's cat baked into a bright red cake, and a fiancée who has been missing for over a week. It's not just a prank, bro.
