Our Theme for the first week is Animal Antics (decided on during the live stream on twitch!)

Stories on Fire Launch Stream
At midnight US /Canada Central Time we’ll be hosting a live stream writing event. We will create our first short story of at least 3000 words. This seems like a fun way to start the challenge with great company. You’ll have to visit to see who will be stopping in!
The stream will feature some fun things. We’ll be sharing how everyone can get free anthologies to read. We will even share plans for the event streams going ahead.
So, how do you get in on this? How do you find out where the anthology is? You visit http://twitch.tv/theladywrites or you can follow along with updates at http://youtube.inexhaustible.media
Also, there will be some youtube live streams at http://youtube.com/theladywrites (still working that out for the inaugural stories on fire event for 9/1)
Sept 1st we’ll see you on stream! Let’s have some great fun together.
Stories on Fire Weekly Themes
Starting in Sept. 2023 – Stories on Fire will be themed by week.
What does this mean? It means we’ll be organizing every prompt by the theme of the week.
For example, the twitch chat selected Animal Instigators as a theme. For one week during the challenge, every prompt will be designed to feature an animal getting either themselves or another character into trouble.
As with all prompts, you are free to ignore it if it does not fit into your writing style or it inhibits your goal of creating a short story every day.
Watch for more fun things on the horizon!
- Animal Instigators
- Natural Disasters
- Messages from a far
- Unexpected Happiness
