Sorry I haven't posted anything in a little while, been a little away from writing for a bit.
To help get back into things i'm looking for some writing prompts, more of scene suggestions than species.

If you aren't sure how to format a prompt, this is a pretty good guide

Thank you everyone who participated in the raffle!

After I finished Tuned In I was thinking of planning another story raffle. does anyone have suggestions for a theme?
So far I'm done 12 days of Christmas (number and Christmas themed gifts), and a Summer resort trip

Was also thinking of doing another game too, but wasn't sure what it should be. So far I've tried mafia. It needs to be something easy to run and eliminates about one or two players per round.

Man sees the full moon
Cowers and rubs spreading fur
Buff poodle howls

Man ran from the law
Seen diving into dumpster
Found only racoons

I dreamed of soaring
Woke up with feathers not hands
Thankfully no cat

Cows mooed at Heathers
She joined in with the bellows
Now she stuck on fours

Don't abuse potions
Just look what happened to James
All scaly and small

Watch swung back and forth
Debra clucked and flapped her arms
Laying many eggs

I've been thinking for a bit, trying to figure out what to write for stories. So I thought I would ask my followers, what would you like to see come from me?

So, this Halloween I decided to do something small and fun inspired by a particular ferret friend.

*Places out a bowl of totally not spiked Halloween candy with a sign saying 'Take two'*

Just finished the first draft of chapter 4! Story altogether is now past 13,000 words.
After Giving it a look over I'm going to take a small break to work on some shorts.

Tenko had already backed herself into a corner when the second pair of eyes fell upon her. There was nowhere for her to run as they used the last of the scavenged supplies upon her. The Magic pulled her arms upwards and pressed them against her wings. The cervine headed angel didn't get a chance to pretest before her gaze was forced upwards and her body fell against the wall. The arm and wing structure curved slowly under the pressure of the magic while her legs disappeared into her body. Wisps of snaked from both ends of her arms towards each other and connected to form a strong string. The corner fell bark once more as the magic dissipated to reveal Tenko had been turned into a holy bow. Tenko's limbs were decorated with detailed angel feathers and the grip decorated with a carving of a doe's head facing forwards

Mehl and Alex tuened to look at eachother, each tensing up for a strike before breaking out into laughter. Mehl ( ) the partygoer carefully approached the suspected troublemaker and carefully lifted the bow. Dread crept over her as she cradled the weapon in her arms. It was what she didn't see that made her worry. There were no supplies that Tenko had dropped, unlike Oritan. With such lack of evidence she was starting to reach the conclusion that Tenko ( ) had been a party goer like her. Mehl spun on her heels just in time to catch a blast of magic face first. Alex ( ) the troublemaker would have smirked if her mask face wasn't held solid.

Mehl struggled against the magic as she looked up at the demoness is disbelief. Her whole body felt as though it were losing substance. The bat's claw hands gripped her head as whispers flooded her mind. She could no longer distinguish her feet from the very shadows she stood. Mehl shut her eyes in an attempt to focus when she started seeing through her wings. She appeared to lose all form with how she blended with her surroundings. Alex took a curious step forwards before the shadows suddenly lunged forth in the shape of a bat. The being's eyes opened to reveal two yellow glowing dots. Mehl the shadow-bat stretched her body as she looked up at the demoness in devotion. Her voice dripped with an eagerness to serve “What is your will my mistress?”

“Cover me as I walk to my car.” Alex instructed as she approached, petting the bat with one arm, carrying icy with the other, and picking up the new bow with her other pair. “I need to take my boyfriend... girlfriend? I need to take my significant other home, and I don't want them getting damaged by the rain.”

“As you wish mistress.” The bat bowed before fluttering atop Alex's shoulders. The shadow creature's presence would have almost been undetectable if it were not for the cold chill of her claws. Mehl spread her wings out to form an ethereal umbrella for her beloved mistress.

Alex glanced around with a chuckle as she held the camera close to her heart. She leaned in to whisper as the stepped into the pouring rain “I know you can hear me and I'm sorry that the evening turned out this way love. I promise I'll make it up to you.” The only response being the click of Icy's shutter taking a picture.

Thank you everyone that played, I hope you all had a wonderful time!

The group barged from the kitchen into the dark halls through a large hole in the wall; a cold chill quickly washed past them while they recovered. With the lights broken, most of the group's illumination came from Alex's horns. Mehl was the first to notice a faint glow coming from Ace's back. The noivern walked a good couple of meters before noticing the rest of the group had stopped. Dread crept up the anthro's spine as he turned around to face the others. “W...what are youuubat staring at muu zubat?”

A silent pause lingered in the air before the pokemon attempted to speak once more. “Zu bat bat! Zubat bat bat, zuuu!” His entire body shimmered with the troublemaker's light when all of a sudden a bat-like figure burst from his body with a cry of “Zubat!” A second followed not one second after as the light sectioned off parts of Ace's body. One after another the sections broke off from the main body to be shaped into into the form of the original bat pokemon until a swarm of 13 Zubat hung from the ceiling. A cautious examination of Ace's rags afterwords would reveal that Ace ( ) was a party goer.

The remaining three made their way down the the last stretch of hall to investigate the source of the chill. Mehl, Alex, and Tenko soon discovering the front door had been smashed open with rainwater leaking in the open whole. Each one of them stared at the other two knowing that one of them was the troublemaker, but which one could it be?

The game has now reached a Lynch Or Lose state. Can our remaining survivors discover the troublemaker among them?

Vote:
Abstain: 1
Tenko 2

Accusations rose up from among the group with all eyes falling upon the Noivern with two fingers falling upon him. With these allegations Ace spoke his own theory on who the culprit could be. With 2 votes to 1, Tenko made the only vote she could to prevent a transformation lynch and elected herself to be changed. The two pairs stood off against each other for good minute with the floor they stood on becoming increasingly shaky. Before they could resolve their differences the floor gave out beneath them and sent them falling to the floor below.

Without time to react those with wings only could slow their decent to a softer landing. A cloud of dust and building material made the view of the four survivors haze as they regathered their wits. They barely had time to react as a triceratops was sent flying over them by a massive jet of water. Not knowing where people were relative to each other, the party goers began to blindly make their way towards the exit. In hopes of not getting caught in the crossfire.

With the panic of the scattered guests it was difficult to tell how long they had been in the dark when a sudden light flooded the room from a runic trap, one right beneath the feet of Icy. The yoshi's yells were silent as she pounded her fists against the arcane walls that kept her from running off, and kept others from pulling her out.

Her body rapidly began to shrink down, the bulb of her nose flattening under the magic flowing through her. Her arms stretched around behind her, flattening into a strap. Her tail shot out below her for support when her legs began to turn skinny and ridged. Her once yoshi body now looked surprisingly boxy with her cylindrical nose being one of the few features to stick out. Icy struggled with what little flesh she had left as it was replaced with plastic and wires. In her place stood a digital camera on a portable tripod.

The ground beneath them shook going on with some sort of fight below and broke the group's surprised trance. Despite the rune still glowing both Mehl and Taz approached the fallen possible partygoer. The rest gathered around when Taz the Noivern reached into the circle and carefully extracted the camera. The few photos inside were recent memories of Icy which revealed that Icy ( ) was the investigator that Mr Hukal had given access to the party. Unfortunately any pictures of her notepad were too blurry to make out the writing, and the pad itself had been lost in the change.

With the guaranty that there was at least one troublemaker among them, the remaining party goers stared each other down in an attempt to decipher who the last one could be. With so few left in the group one and the way the evening had been playing out, it would only take one wrong vote to spell their doom.

Arguments broke out as the group discovered their only means of protection to had been melted away. It was clear that they could not just stand idly by as they were picked off one by one with or without the inspector showing themselves. Arguments were tossed back and forth on who it could be. Two sets of eyes fell upon the one among them who seemed the most enamoured with his changes. And despite an argument otherwise it was still two against one.

With the others unable to react in time Mehl and Tenko charged Oritan. Using supplies the group had collected from the hall, the pair cast their hex just as the gazimon started readying a paralyzing breath. The digimon stumbled as the curse echoed over his body before falling to his knees. His fur looked almost fake in the light when his skin shuddered and began to collapse inwards. In seconds his body collapsed down into a pile of fabrics upon the floor. Tenko slowly approached the body to discover that Oritan the gazimon had turned into Oritan the gazimon costume. An inspection from the group would reveal that Oritan was a trouble maker and that his accomplice still lurked within the group

Before the group could gather up to hunt for the last of the troublemakers the light's flickered off. A flash lit the room for only a blink as an explosive hex destroyed the light switch for good measure. The thunder and rain from outdoors echoed loudly through the room. Footsteps scrambled around the room as the guests tried to search for some kind of light before they were taken next.

Unfortunately I had to close voting because time ran out. But things seem to be cutting pretty close for both groups.

The party goers screamed for their lives as they funnelled into the hall, having to push past each other to fit. A crackling thud like the sound of falling tree branches could be heard behind them as the monster hauled it's form onto the the second floor. The guests hadn't even gotten two meters into the hall when a hexing symbol appeared beneath Val, causing the deer's body to fall limp and nearly tripping those behind her. Now on even ground the plant moved with uncanny speeds and rounded the corner in less than a second. It's vines wrapped around its sacrifice's legs and began to pull Val towards its gaping maws.

Only through the combined efforts of Icy and Tenko did Val escape such a fate. The trio barely managed to evade the pursuing monster into the room the others had fled. The double doors to the library slammed shut behind them. The plant seemed undeterred, even with some of its vines pinned in the door, when it began slamming against the doors. Several book cases were shoved up against the doors before the party goers could feel safe to take in the appearance of the library that surrounded them and to tend to their wounded comrade.

A small camouflaged pouch fell from the feral deer's flank as she twitched. The spell components and note within would reveal that Val ( ) was the Witch that Mr Hukal mentioned during his opening speech to the party. The deer's fur was quickly fading away into mist while the others gathered around her. Val's limbs pulled inwards towards her body at a frightening pace. Her muzzle opened as if to speak but was quickly filled with the cork that had forced it open. No matter what the others tried, Val's body looked rounder by the second.

Mehl was the first to cautiously pick up the shrinking Val, who was now looking like a champagne bottle more than anything else. Inside the bottle was a thick brown liquid. The crowd was silent before the liquid suddenly moved and pushed against the cork without effect. The witch had become sapient ooze; it would be a long time of figuring out her new form before she would be able to take solid form once again, let alone speaking.

Looking around, the party goers found themselves to be standing in the mansion's library. Bookshelves lined the walls with several more arranged to make rows down the whole room. Curtains had been drawn across all the windows to keep sunlight from damaging the precious books. Outside a rainy storm raged on with a downpour that echoed through the room.

Tensions were stretched thin at the discovery of poor Sagothana's fate. The loud arguments almost echoing across the large ball room below. Even with tensions running high the group still kept their wits collected and refused to lynch anyone beyond a single vote otherwise. The search for a new way down would have begun if it were not for Val shouting a to look out as a spiky cactus ball flew past the guest's heads.

Climbing over the balcony railing was a large plant appearing to be a fearsome hybrid between a Venus Fly Trap and a Jumping Cactus. Its large mouths opened hungrily towards the party goers as it hauled its large form over the railing with rags that had once been part of Mrs Hukal's dress falling off of the magic warped host. The plant creature left a trail of needles in its wake when it began to close the gap on vine like tentacles.

The doors to the upper halls slammed opened as the guests forced their way into the mansion's second floor halls. A crackle of thunder echoed outdoors; the chase had begun.

Please note that I will be changing how RP threads work for the next day cycle: All RP posts must be made in response to the master post, aka the one where I say “Role play thread!”. This will hopefully help keep the problem of diverging threads in check and make the action easier to follow. If this works the change will be kept for future days.

Day two.
The stampede wreaks havoc on the tables, sending treats and desserts flying. Thankfully however, the surviving guests manage to evade and one by one sneak their way to the unblocked stairs. Mehl is the last one to the steps, barely managing to charging rhino by taking to the air with her wings. The herd tramples over the stairs, cracking, collapsing , and destroying them. With that exit cut off to those without wings the remaining seven huddle together before double counting their numbers to find one of their own to be missing.

Once the stampede had passed the look for had begun. After a minute or two of looking, Alex managed to spot a figure that could be nothing but the former demon. Near the bottom of the stairs stood a redwood statue of the once demonic equine figure that had been toppled over. With a combined effort of those with wings, the nearly meter tall statue was brought to the upper floor for inspection. Sagothana appeared to be in a conversationally confrontative as if she were questioning someone standing before her. An inspection of the body would reveal that Sagothana was a party goer.

With things so soon after the big commotion it would seem the 'surviving' guests are not too eager to single out any one among them. Their conversation was interrupted as a trio of large triceratops burst into the room with a chef's hats adorning their horns, it would seem that the guests weren't the only ones to be changed within the mansion.

The large beasts stamped into the room; their rampage sending rubber statues flying, smaller creatures scattering, and splitting up the survivors. In such commotion it would be easy for any of them to commit secretive and possibly nefarious acts.

If you have night actions, please send them by PM.

Intro:
Mr Hukal's voice echoed across the grand mansion's ballroom. The crowd of various folks, each with their own costume, turned to gaze up at the man dressed as a dragon. He grinned while he gave his opening speech. “Thank you all for coming to the annual event; I am pleased to see that you all have brought a variety of creative costumes. It will be just a few moments before we can bring out the food. So I suppose that leaves some time for announcements.”

“In an hour's time we shall be hosting the the costume contest, so be sure to sign in if you are interested. If you see any kind of magical misconduct going on, please inform our witch of protective magics-” A loud thundering cut off the man's words when electrical bolts began to leap around the room. Distinctive sigils glowed on the undersides of tables, behind curtains, and in he dark corners of the room. Echoes of magic grow louder as the symbols gathered power.

“Goddammit!” Hakul's shout could barely be heard over the gathering storm, “That damn lazy investigator was supposed to suss out theives. Wheeuuuaawwcckkk”His lips quickly developed into a long yellow beak that cut off his rant. All across the hall was chaos; People turning into statues, a dragon turning into a large cat, and every other guest seeming to be twisted in some way or another by the hex. As the dust settled only a handful of guests had remained sentient among the crowd of inflatables, statures, wild beasts, and so forth:

Mehl () was once a human malewho had arrived to the part wearing a cow costume. Said costume is now in tatters as she finds herself transformed into a female anthro Golden-Capped Fruit Bat, her wing membranes attached to her arms and slightly lengthened fingers.

Oritan () Showed up to the party as a perfectly normal human male dressed in a dashing Gazimon costume. After the storm of magic his costume has now become a reality, although he still finds need to wear his glasses.

VritraX Valstrath () was a majestic wolf and dragon hybrid who made an impressive girafarig quadsuit to attend the party. It seems whatever magic was abound has a sense of humour, having left her stranded as a feral female Sika deer. Despite a lack of hands she thankfully has retained a voice able to speak.

Sagothana the Immoral () is a proud, if short, demon. Her choice of an angel costume might have seemed weird to the other guests, or at least it would have before the magic attack struck the crowd. In Sagothana's place now stands an anthro donkey covered in crimson coloured fur.

Icysharkie () Showed up as a human dressed in a rather naughy succubus costume. Since the transformation he has become a she and no longer human. Rather icy is now a black female yoshi with a far more distinctly anthro figure than any depiction in the games.

Alex () arrived to the party human dessed in a very concealing Shy Guy costume. Since the magic she now stands as a tall demoness, her arms split into two pairs. Flaming curved horns crown the top of her head and the mask that had once been part of her costume is how her face.


Tenko () was a male human who had chosen to come dressed in a deer fawn costume. Since the transformation struck, Tenko finds herself a graceful angel with four majestic dove-like wings. Even though she has retained her ability to speak, her head is stuck as that of a feral deer.


Ace Proetheus () was once a stunning anthro fox, who dressed for the party in a realistic bat suit. The magic has twisted his form into that of an Anthro Noivern, leaving his craftsmanship in tatters despite its resemblance to the costume.


In the wake of the transformations our surviving guests no doubt contain the trouble maker(s) among their numbers. A search through the room reveals that there is enough untriggered magical charges to perhaps get some revenge on those that changed them. That is, if they can figure out who to bring down the hammer of justice upon.

Votes:
Abstain: 4
With four votes to abstain there isn't much reason to hold open the voting any longer because even if the other players were to all vote for a single person it would be a tie, and no one would get lynched anyways.

What's going on
I've decided to run another story raffle, this time with a couple of twists. The raffle shall start with a game of mafia, with a number of players based around how many people join. I will then write a story based on how the game plays out as well as getting an art piece for it.


The Costume Mafia!

Setting: Chaos has erupted at a local grand costume party of Mr and Mrs Hukal when the guests suddenly find themselves transformed! It would seem that some of the guests came to the crash the party, can the others manage to suss out who's responsible in time?

The game will start with each player transformed based on somebody's costume, not necessarily their own. For example: If somebody's character brings a pokemon costume, someone else might find themselves transformed into a similar pokemon.


How it will play: The game will be separated into two distinct phases, which for the purposes of game we will refer to as day and night, each phase will be announced in a journal entry.

When a player is 'killed' off their character will receive a debilitating transformation instead of receiving actual death; such as inanimate, being turned into a feral, or a strong mental change. If you do not wish your character to receive that kind of change make sure to mention it in your sign up post and it can be written off as your character getting sent off in some fashion instead.

If you are killed off then you will still get into the group picture

The day phase With each day phase I will announce who got killed during the previous night phase (nobody durring the first day phase). Then players will then have three days (real time) to roll play and vote in the journal comments for who they think should be lynched. While the role play is not required for this game, it will help me get a feel for your character in the story.

If a player receives a majority vote then the day cycle ends immediately even if all the players haven't voted. If the vote is a tie then no players will be lynched that day. Make sure you get your votes in before the three days are up.

The night phase During the night phase, some players will have special actions they, or their faction, can perform as well as communication with their faction. Saying what you want to do for any special actions that you have, as well as talking with your faction, is to be done through PMs. Same as the day phase, you will have three days (real time) to make sure that you get your special actions in.

If I receive conflicting orders, such as two party crashers saying their faction is going to kill different people, then I will randomly choose which one occurs.


How to enter: Simply reply to this journal with a character reference as well as saying what costume they came to the party with. If you do not have a picture reference then a text description should be fine, but I may need to get clarifications for the artist. While I am not planning on having much (if any) outright sexual acts in the story, I do want the option for more adult stuff, so characters must be adults.


Notes:

If you have any transformation preferences or types you don't want to happen to your character then please make sure to mention that in your entry.

There will be a zero tolerance policy on meta gaming (Ex: “I can prove I'm an innocent guest because my secret role PM says...”). This will get you removed from the group picture as this kind of behavior ruins the experience.

I will be saving the more detailed transformation descriptions for the story, so don't worry if they appear to be a little light during the game.

*An intercom crackles to life* Howlecho Falls is proud to announce that our six lovely guests have been chosen for to spend the week at our lovely little cabin. We here strive to rejuvenate and give new life to those who stay at one of our resorts. Unfortunately, with this batch we have detected that one of them will be going back to their old life once this is all over (Even if with some improvements ;) ).

How to enter for the bonus prize: Simply post on this journal, before May 30 7AM, who you think will be leaving the cabin at the end of the week (vote by username). One of you who guesses correctly will be chosen for a very special summer trip (a bonus story). You only get one vote, pick wisely. And yes, anyone who reads this journal gets to vote. With that out of the way, lets meet our wonderful guests:


 Tiger_Gunner : Tiger is a winged sabertooth and a rather intelligent specimen. Even with his smarts he is an introverted fellow, but this does not stop him from having fun with those he calls friends

 Spirit_Dancer : Spirit is perhaps the smallest of those attending the cabin, standing at the size of a feral ferret. Spirit has a very peppy personality and enjoys being able to entertain others.

 Eric_Lifespear : Eric is a middle aged husky who does well in keeping fit and looking to the bright side of life. While this canine may have a difficulty in meeting new friends, he enjoys the company of those that he does meet and would protect them as if they were pack members.

 TesterTheDog : Tester is a friendly German Shepherd(sfw) with an affinity for testing things out, as his name would suggest. Being a fan of camping, he will be sure to enjoy his stay!

 skunkmaster111 : Welch Kenedy is a coyote who has taken up the profession of being a cowboy. Despite a tendency of getting lost in thought and getting enthralled by curious sights, he has a no nonsense kind of personality.

 a-lycotonum Professor Qiana Nia is a knowledgeable chemist who works for Banford State College. Her unusual feline features being a result of a not-so unfortunate accident in the labs. She is such a hard worker it was difficult for her to pry herself away from her studies for even this trip.
