Six Sentence Sunday
May. 10th, 2026 03:35 pmraptureofthemoonShare six sentences from whatever you're working on.
From "The Call," part of the Pushing Boundaries series (The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim; a series of fics chronicling the growing relationship between Ulfric and Seirian, the Archmage of Winterhold and reluctant Dragonborn).
She’d seen him before, during one of her overstays in Solitude, walking the road toward The Blue Palace. He was heading opposite, his face as grim then as it was now, stride heavy; children and guards alike leapt out of his way.
He was, she’d soon learned over tea with Sybil Stentor, Solitude’s court mage, a regular visitor to the palace and a regular thorn in Jarl Torygg’s side when it came to the rising tensions with the Empire.
“The Jarl had me read for him,” Sybil had said, peering into the clouds of cream swirling in her cup. “Ulfric is a focal point for this war, in more ways than one. Torygg needs to be careful.”
Tuesday - 🚫💬 No Dialogue 💬🚫
May. 12th, 2026 06:47 amToday’s theme is 🚫💬 No Dialogue 💬🚫
The fic can be about anything, but it cannot contain any dialogue at all.
No spoken words. No quotation marks. No conversations. Just actions, expressions, atmosphere, tension, longing, heartbreak, comfort, and everything left unsaid. 👀🫶🌧️
📌 Just a few rules:
✏️ No more than five prompts in a row.
🎭 No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
📝 Use the character's full name and fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
⚠️ No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option.
📚 If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut option.
Prompts should be formatted as follows:
[Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
📖 Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
✨ Some examples to get the ball rolling… ✨
🐺 Teen Wolf, Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale, After a brutal argument, they end up trapped together on an eight-hour road trip where neither of them says a single word.
🌊 Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, Danny keeps vigil overnight in a hospital waiting room while Steve is in surgery, and exhaustion strips everything down to the things he cannot say out loud.
🕯️ any, any/any, Two former best friends unexpectedly reunite at a funeral after years apart, communicating only through glances, gestures, and old habits they never quite lost.
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts 📚✨. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? 🤔 You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members 💙; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like 🔖 might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule ⏰, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays 🌿, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays 📅. Saturdays are a Free for All day 🎉. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications! 👀
