I might venture back into micro fiction for this. That one idea: of going to a place where all the old names are forgotten, replaced by some foreign people like the Vikings… chilling.
I'm in! This sounds fun. Going to do my background reading today. I arrived on the island a couple of days ago and haven't done any writing since ... I've got itchy typing fingers!
This sounds amazing! I don’t know if I’ll be able to get myself back into the writing zone in time to participate, but I would love to hype this up! Thank you so much for the mention, Leanne! ❤️
You’re welcome! With the new baby, I wasn’t expecting you to — but then the idea of Tim and Judith honeymooning popped into my head and I had to include you. Thanks for the restack!
OK, this setting is so very nearly my part of the world (different archipelago of Scottish islands, but in the grand scheme of things we have a lot in common with the Shetlands) that I might have to jump in. We'll see how things go, but if this month isn't too crazy I might be able to come up with something!
Here it is! This was rather fun, Leanne! Thanks for tagging me in this, I hope I met the assignment. It’s more a romantasy comedic vibe. Not sure why the muses went here but I just couldn’t get it out of my head.
This sounds great! It's a fun idea to have the contributions all set in the same world, so everyone can build up the mythology together, and add their own little spins to it. Good luck with it all... 😎👍
😳😳😳 I saw the notification that you had a new one out and I wondered because you haven’t finished Sabine and Caitlyn’s story. Ahhhh! I’m going to go read it now!!!! Eeee!!!
Thanks for the shoutout, Leanne! I’ll see what I can come up with!
No pressure! Just wanted to shout out my fave writers for those on my list who don’t write (and yes, dream a bit). Thanks for Restacking.
Aw, I’m humbled to be considered a favorite! 🥹
Also, I now have that song perpetually stuck in my head.🤣
Heads up, it’s coming back for Tuesday Tunes…
Oh man, this looks like so much fun! My schedule’s a little full right now, but the prompt is so enticing I might have to try — can’t promise though!
I have a feeling all my favourite writers are also very busy writers, but one can hope! Thank you for sharing it.

Forgotten names and peoples, perhaps only remembered in a snippet of story.
i love the introductory short story that reads like an origin story and the prompt! i might be joining!
Would love to have you along!
This sounds like so much fun! I can’t guarantee anything, but I’d like to try!
Trying is the best part!

I’m in for this! Currently working on something that may accidentally blow out to a five part story 😅 such a cool prompt.
Accidental story blow outs are the best. 😊💃
Here is the first part of my response to the prompt! It went in a different direction than I expected- sort of dark/horror fantasy. Hope you enjoy!

Eeee! I hope you like it! It’s set about 100 years after whatever happened to the Star. Rest will be out over the next week and a bit 🩷
I love it!
Hi Leanne, here’s my poem. Thank you for the prompt!
I’m not sure it’s what you were looking for but it was so much fun to break away and do something different. https://shannonhaynes.substack.com/p/a-star-stolen
Well, here's the link to my short story. I'm not really sure what the subgenre would be. It's written as letters and journal entries, so I guess make of that what you will :D https://waltshuler.substack.com/p/fitting-enough-for-the-thunder-god?r=fc9h5
Eee! Off to read it!
