Prompt for February 18, 2014 – Day 49

Just about everyone’s seen Star Wars (and if you haven’t stop reading this post and go watch episodes IV-VI right now. RIGHT NOW.). Today’s prompt is inspired by the iconic opening scroll from that series.

Prompt Type: Opening Scroll
Prompt: Think of a project you’ve been working on and put together their opening scroll, their tease of history and hint at what’s to come, a la the Star Wars trilogy.

Alternatively, come up with something entirely new, write their opening scroll, and see what happens next!

Prompt for February 15, 2014 – Day 46

Apologies–a few hours late on today’s prompt, but I highly doubt there’s many folks looking for it at midnight! I’ve been caught up in the Olympics for the past few days and have been loading daily rather than a week at a stretch. Going to have to fix that today!

Here’s your slightly belated prompt.
