Sunday Plot Luck
Every Sunday, we spin three wheels for a Setting, Side Character, and Conflict. Take whatever Plot Luck hands us and turn it into a story, poem, artwork, or whatever Inkling strikes your fancy. Then share what ye made and see where the wheels took everyone else!
Prompts
Sunday Plot Luck #3 — Sep 20
The wheels have spoken and this week’s chaos is:
🏕️ SETTING: picnic party 🎭 SIDE CHARACTER: your twin (surprise) ⚡ CONFLICT: a dangerous secret
Alright then, let’s have a picnic party! A lovely afternoon, good food, pleasant company, and... your twin? Surprise! Or did you suspect? Now, about that dangerous secret...
Is this the first time you’ve met your twin, or have you known about each other all along? Who’s keeping the secret, and what happens if it gets out? Perhaps one of you has been living the other’s life. Perhaps there’s a reason you were kept apart. Or maybe the picnic is a perfectly innocent family gathering, and someone has brought considerably more than potato salad. And which one of you knows what’s really going on?
Sunday Plot Luck #4 — Sep 27
The wheels have spoken and this week’s chaos is:
🏕️ SETTING: CAMPINGGGGG! 🎭 SIDE CHARACTER: with a pain in the arse.. ⚡ CONFLICT: aliens (who are mistaken for celestial beings)
Camping in the fall is lovely, isn’t it?
But what if you had to do it with.. you know… that person? (I know, I know. Debatably this is the conflict rather than the side character.)
To make matters worse, you find that you have visitors on the camping grounds. They are terrifying. They are beautiful. Are they here to hurt you, or to bless you? Or are you simply a lower life form that is in their way?

Sunday Plot Luck #5 — Oct 4
The wheels have spoken and this week’s chaos is:
🏕️ SETTING: A secret underground facility 🎭 SIDE CHARACTER: a ghost ⚡ CONFLICT: attempting exorcism of said ghost (it must be done politely)
What are you doing in an underground secret facility? Do you work there? Are you trapped there? Were you invited? Whatever it is, it is obviously haunted, and you have decided that you need to end this.
But politely, of course.
Because you feel bad for kicking someone out of the home they’ve been in for the past few years. Maybe you’re just a gentleman/woman/person. Maybe the ghost is a gentle-ghost and you know they won’t listen unless asked nicely. It’s all up to you.

Sunday Plot Luck #6 — Oct 11
The wheels have spoken and this week’s chaos is:
🏕️ SETTING: A museum after closing 🎭 SIDE CHARACTER: A charming rogue (OooooooOoooooOoooooh xD ..sorry) ⚡ CONFLICT: Blood Moon…
Well, well, well… What are you doing in a museum after closing time? Was it pure accident (you got stuck in the toilet with a stomach ache, maybe)? Or are you… (Snape voice) up to something? Whatever your reason, you find yourself wandering empty halls filled with ancient things, alongside a rogue with a silver tongue. SQUEE! It would have been the perfect night…
Except the Blood Moon has risen.
And that poses a huge problem to you, and debatably the rogue as well. You are welcome to pick your own poison.
