The Promptcast

So we can't write stories on the fly, but we can be really good narrators at war with each other... apparently. Prompt: A story where two narrators are constantly against one another. One always tries to kill off the main character, but the other saves them in the nick of time. What to expect: visual film devices, Merlin references, and an epic quest for the throne (but we didn't really finish that last part).

After encountering the wildest brainstorm in April, Lozzie's uni screenplay sees the light of day. If anything, the success of this story PROVES that the prompt book is the most iconic, helpful and successful creation to ever exist. Follow the brainstorm from a boyband dreamscape to a budding love story diving into grief. Prompt: One day, everyone receives a glimpse of their soulmate, although no one understood at the time. As time progressed, stories have come out of those falling in love with those they saw, or already seeing their partners face. You didn’t recognise the person you saw, but one day, years later, you see an interview with a new teen heartthrob and immediately recognize them.What to expect: Lozzie's taking charge voice, deep takes on mourning

Fun. Funky. Fresh. Except that all of our inspiration is derived from mid 2000's romcoms. Join us in our venture to meeting Sadie St James and Carson Carmichele and all their beautiful basketball blindness. Prompt: The greatest competition between you and the love of your life was a cat. And you’re pretty sure they’re winning.What to expect: a basketball team of RomCom stereotypes, Chlo defending her height honour, discussing what dates sound aesthetic.

There is always an allure towards secret spies and assassins. But what if one of them came from amber and set out to annoy the best assassin in the most inconvenient ways? That story might be even more interesting. Prompt: You haul in the cereal isle. ‘Never gonna give you up’ by Rick Astley plays over the speakers. It has been stalking you for weeks. You ask those around you what they hear, and they adamantly deny hearing this song. What to expect: getting Rick rolled, assassins, antique clocks, and Camillo the squishmallow.

Nostalgia is a powerful phenomenon, but what's more powerful is our drive to NOT mimic popular tv shows with our stories. This week we take a break from our fantasy high and take on something a little darker... a missing twin.Prompt: It was evident that the National Park was haunted. Apparitions of children skipping along paths and curious investigators disappearing. And you believe all of it after your brother goes missing in the woods. What to expect: Attempting explanations behind the biology of telepathy, the atrocious early 2000's vibe, which age is best to place emotional trauma on.

Despite the title, this is quite a creative episode where curse meets science, and love meets tribulation. Also, this episode is approximately 30% laughing. Prompt: There is a travelling phenomena where it becomes perpetually night within a certain radius. Unbeknownst to scientists, it is a cursed someone - to always live in darkness. One day, this person woke up to daylight. What to expect: vitamin D deficiency, Women in STEM, Lozzie being sick.

Fuelled by a new found appreciation for Webtoons (thank you Heartstopper), we take a dive into portraying mental health through the lens of colour theory, metaphors and instruments. Prompt: Please don’t reach out and take the pain from within me, because you’ll take some part of me with it.What to expect: Lip balm debates, Chlo relating everything to Anime, deep anxiety chats.

Aside from Lozzie failing us with her audio, this story is worthy of epic fantasy music. Prompt: It was a perfect day for a stroll in the countryside when a group astride horses halted before me. “We are in need of a guide in these foreign lands. Would you like to aid us in overthrowing the tyrant queen that rules this land and free people like yourself?” I nodded. It sounded like fun. Especially since I was the Queen. What to expect: pet names, Heartstopper & a Queen that slays.
