GET FREE STORIES: Kalo's Picture-Inspired Story Marathon
3 weeks ago
I'm setting a challenge for myself: between now and the end of November, I'm going to finish and post 30 short stories (500-3000 words each).
The theme I'm doing is "Picture Inspired". I'll take existing furry art and use that as inspiration for these stories - desciribing what's going on, coming up with some backstory that lead to that point, or narrating the aftermath, stuff like that. For an example check out Fox's New Features, which was inspired by this image, or Ruth's Break which I wrote based on one of my own commissions.
For this, I am taking suggestions on what images to use. If you've got a favorite piece of art, and want to see it get the story treatment, here's your chance!
There's a few caveats and disclaimers:
DISCLAIMERS:
These stories are "Inspired By" the related art, and have no official connection to the related art. No ownership or rights to the story are granted to the creator/owner of the related art or the pictured characters, likewise no ownership or rights to the related art or the pictured characters are claimed by myself.
No rights or ownership are granted or implied to you if I use your suggestion. This is not a commission or a gift.
Characters, species, or other details in the story may differ from what's in the image. On that note, characters might be renamed/genericized so as to avoid potentially offending their owners.
I'm making no guarantees, and I'm doing this for free so you get what you get.
CAVEATS:
I'm not going to dedicate a lot of time to researching things just to write these stories, so if you suggest art from something obscure that I'm not familiar with then I might get details wrong.
I am doing at most one (1) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic story and not more than that one, so either submit something really good from there or use something else.
TIPS ON WHAT TO SUBMIT:
Art that's just pinups or characters posing for the camera isn't going to inspire much. Actions (characters doing something) interactions (characters doing something to each other) or situations (the environment doing something to the characters) might work a lot better.
Comic pages or images that are heavy on dialogue might not be good choices, since those are telling a story already. This Campus Avenue image has about the right amount.
Fetishes I'm not into are not disqualifying, since I'm trying to expand my range of what I can write, but please pick out good images for that since I'll be looking at those a little more harshly.
TO SUBMIT:
Copy and paste this form, and fill in the blanks.

You can submit up to five images. Please submit them all in a single comment or as replies to your first comment.
Thank you, and wish me luck!
