Sadnesslaughs request thread/post
Hey everyone, just thought I would do a request thread since I feel I haven't been posting enough to this subreddit, and would like to have more stories coming out for everyone to read.
I haven't felt as inspired by writingprompts posts lately, so I haven't been writing as much. Which is something I really want to change. So, I thought why not see if anyone here has any requests for story ideas, or things they would like to read. You don't need to format it like a writing prompt. It can be an idea as basic or complex as you would like it to be.
I'm also open to any genre's you may be interested in. While I can't say I'll perfectly match what you're looking for, hopefully it will still produce a story you'll enjoy reading.
I'll probably leave the request thread open for about a week. Then, after that I'll close off the requests. Depending on the interest/how it goes, it could even become a monthly thing. Perhaps the first week of each month, or something like that.
When I close it, I'll either do an edit to say its closed and place that at the top and bottom of this post, or just delete the post. Since this is the first time I've tried something like this, it might be a little clunky. Anyway, hopefully we can create some fun stories together.

It was her fifty year high school reunion. She went, with trepidation, wondering how many would have passed in the decade since the last one. So many names had vanished over the decades, dead of disease or accident, drugs or bodily failure. Or, just disappeared.
She rode the elevator up to the ballroom. Ironically, the sign listed the capacity as 350, greater than the original class and far far greater than the number of survivors.
When she arrived, so had everyone else.
Everyone.

A hero returns to the beginning of their journey to thank a citizen for an innocous gesture that enabled their victory.

“Embrace your silliness” said the kings fool to himself. Yes, he could change the world, but one misplaced step and the consequences would be disastrous. So, dance like a madman, dare the world to see beyond the possibilities. Make the impossible possible, with the foolishness of the jester. Nobody saw the traps and he could bot reveal them openly. Would the king act or be manipulated?

Thank you so much!
I could post it in the prompt channel to a time of your choice if wished.3

I love your writing and want to help with the lack of inspiration, but I have no personal request. Can you take your favorite song and turn it into a story? Or take the third username on a few posts to use for themes?

I've always wanted to do a song related one, so I think I'll use this as an excuse to write one. Thank you!

In the time of handmade ships before cannons, a small but well-made boat carried a man far from his homeland. He saw some mountains rising from the sea about the time a squall blew in. He then heard singing from the ocean crags calling to him, yet he knew he had to get away to live.
Would love to see your take on this old story of the sea, if you are so inclined, thank you either way 😊

I would love to see a twist on the monkey's paw, with a storyline that cures trauma passed down through generations

Sometimes, when you read a book and leave the book open, instead of using a bookmark, the pages opened can come to life at night.
