Like great adventures of the old, a bunch of heroes have banded together to complete a certain quest. And this time it is not for the destruction of the one ring, or stopping the invading Chitauri, no. This time the heroes have set the goal of creating good reading content, to save their world through their writing.
The Idea: Every hero comes up with a prompt, and the rest of the team members write their own flash fiction stories using the prompt. Simple enough.
The Team:
Tanmay Jain (Team Leader and Organizer)
Tanmay Jain is a blogger, book reviewer, writer and bibliophile from Jaipur, Rajasthan. He has been reading books since he was a child and hasn’t stopped since. He started his first blog in 2016 and since that, after many unsuccessful attempts at managing a successful blog, he landed on his current and most successful blog, Scion of Society. Tanmay dabbles mostly in fiction writing but sometimes wanders off to poetry, book reviewing and writing tips. He is an editor for his school magazine, X-rays. He’s a teenage writer, aspiring author, and a budding blogger. Facebook Twitter
Prompt: One day you’re sitting with your head in your mother’s lap and in the next you’re sitting in a holding cell waiting for the trial of her murder. What happened?
My name is Bonnie Cehovet. I live in the Pacific Southwest with my cats Midnight, and Pumpkin. I am a professional Tarot reader, a reviewer of Tarot and non-Tarot works, and published author. My chosen genre is cosy mysteries, but I also write in the self-help field. My goal in life is to be who I am and to be able to help others in the process. Facebook Twitter
Prompt: One never knew with Eleanor. Appearances could be deceiving – one moment she was very calm, the next … not so.
My name is Sitharaam Jayakumar and my friends call me Jai. I am a software professional working as a lead software engineer. I am keenly interested in politics, music, cricket, books – both fiction and non fiction, writing poetry, articles and fictional stories. I am a B-Tech in Metallurgical Engineering from IIT-BHU (formerly IT-BHU). I am an avid reader of books on science. I live in Kochi, India with my wife and the joy of our lives, our ten-year-old daughter. I take a keen interest in everything that comes my way in daily life like politics, cricket, music and computer software. My blog is a hotch-potch of poems, articles, lots of flash-fiction and several short stories. You will also find poetry and a smattering of photography in my blog. Facebook Twitter
Prompt: I woke up with a severe hangover. I made my way to the bathroom lazily. I glanced at the mirror wondering if I looked as terrible as I felt. I stood staring in horror at the grotesque skull grinning at me…
An aspiring author, bibliophile, bookaholic who breathes to write! She is a part of the creative team of her school magazine and has been writing to voice her thoughts since forever. After the little attempts to create a beautiful story, she finally got a blog to be proud of that is Writer’s Vicinity!
Prompt: Opening my eyes, I was in a world less familiar yet more beautiful and soothing than anything I had ever experienced…To breathe felt like living a new life!
Hi, I am Suchita Agarwal. I am a writer and content creator. At different times, I have been a teacher, an agency recruit, a master’s degree holder, and a social media executive. All work as secret identities for my plan to take over the literary world…one post, one manuscript, one book deal at a time. What I love above all else are desserts, reading and learning. You can connect with me on Twitter or WordPress. I go by talesofsuchita.
Prompt: What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised ?
A copywriter by profession but a story-teller at heart, Asha is a born reveur. A rebel who seeks refuge in the confines of worlds created by words. She reads, writes, reviews, and when not doing these, loves to loiter in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
Prompt : As soon as Alicia stepped on to the second landing, the lights went out and a hand grabbed her into the all-consuming darkness.
And finally,
Me 🙂
My Prompt: The Emperor had summoned his Knights..and they had answered his summons. They knew that it was a matter of great importance. They waited patiently as their Emperor began to address them..
More in store, coming very soon.
Happy reading! 🙂
