OQMovieWeek Prompt List
Hi Guys,
So, the prompt list is finally here.
Each prompt has been assigned a genre and a short, vague summary in order to aid shortlisting.
As a disclaimer; I have not watched all these movies/series, and so the genre/summary provided may not be 100% accurate, but there should be enough there to get the general gist.
A ‘plot idea’ is an extra layer of information provided alongside the prompt; it is not a necessity to follow it, but it would be nice for the promptee :)
The prompts can be filled in any which way you choose: art, fanfic, manips, moodboards, playlists, videos... There is no limit to creativity.
The prompts can fit as closely or as loosely as you want; these are open to interpretation, genderbending, amending, and merging. They can be an entirely new universe, or they can be based in canon, the choice is yours.
A ‘Wildcard’ can be used if something comes to you which doesn’t fit within one of these prompts.
More posts will be along to provide extra information soon.
...
