March Prompts

Each month, we'll post a trio of prompts -- a theme, a quote, and a trope -- for you to use as a jumping-off point in whatever medium pleases you. Anything goes, fiction or meta, from drabbles through dissertation chapters on textual analysis. Fic, art, photo-essays, vids, and more are welcome.

  • For March, the theme is Love. Is that love of a person or love of one's honour? Is it agape, eros, phillia, or storge? You decide.

  • The quote is from the 1952-53 CBS radio show, The Adventures of Horatio Hornblower:
    A meeting which, as things turned out, had lifelong consequence for both of us.


  • The trope is Master Actor -- the ability to convincingly play a role. Examples include Hornblower playing the adoring husband to Maria (Hornblower and the Hotspur) and Kitty Cobham playing the Duchess of Wharfedale ("The Duchess and the Devil").


Mix and match the prompts, or use just one! Discuss in the comments, or come back and share what you made!
