November: Epistolary

Welcome to a new month! The theme for November is Epistolary, i.e. a work that is composed primarily to entirely of letters or messages. This means your characters can do anything you want, as long as they're communicating about it through writing or messages.

Some possible ideas if you want them:

  • Characters communicate through letters/messages while apart.

  • Characters leave passive aggressive notes for each other and/or argue through messages left for each other.

  • Characters fall in love via letters/messages/etc before ever meeting.

  • You've Got Mail / Shop Around the Corner AU.

  • A series of captain's logs / diary entries / etc.

  • The last message recorded before something terrible happens.

For other prompts, or to add your own, there's an optional prompt post here.

Posting guidelines are here, and if you have any recs you'd like to share, you can leave them in the comments using the template below:



This theme will last until 30th November.
