Muse Muggers* weekly idea
Your Monday Morning MuseMugger Prompt
Muse Mugger's idea #45
option 1
Write a humorous set of guidelines or call for submissions for an imaginary anthology. Make them funny, clever, ridiculously satirical, whatever, but no longer than 250 actual words long.
OR
Excerpts of books that have never existed and that haven't been written yet. Excerpts from fiction works, otherworldly recipes, snatches of poetry, faux reviews of imagined books, articles from cryptozoological texts, parapsychology manuals, works written in fairy languages, pictograms or mathematical equations, footnotes, even dedications are fair game. 300 words in length or shorter.
EXCERPT! Remember what an excerpt is...it is NOT a story. It does not have a beginning, middle and end. (unless it happens to be from that part of the 'book'). Take a book randomly off your shelf, open it at random. stick your finger on the page, at random. Read the next 300 words. THAT'S an excerpt.
option 2
Pick one or more of the following -- who, or what, are they?
The Black Emperess
Silk of the Twisted Tower
The Ghostly Emperor
Twisted Warfare
Bracers of the Ghastly Tomb
Forgotten Icon
The Haunted Queen
The Adventurer That Forgets Greed
As usual, you can go for the prompt word for word, mix and match, drop bits off, add bits, change a bit, change it all... go with the story it sparks. You can use bits of one option with another. Have fun! :)
