I'm in group 13 - Genre: Romance Theme: The benefit of the doubt Emotion: Exhilarated This is my 4th NYC Midnight challenge, and also the 4th time I was assigned a romance-related genre in the first round... At this point, I'm starting to wish for Political Satire

Hi, this is my first NYC Midnight challenge!
Group 18 Genre: Historical Fiction Theme: Blood is thicker than water Emotion: Gratified I didn't know that the challenge had assigned genres, and I was devastated to get historical fiction as it's not a genre I read. However, I'm coming up with a story about a flapper at a speakeasy and it's been really flowing so far.

Hi, and welcome! I'm impressed that you've already gotten over the disappointment of your assigned genre and started writing! (I'm still trying to come up with a plot...) While I don't really read historical fiction either, it does sound like an interesting genre to write, and your idea sounds fun! (I personally have zero interest in reading or writing romance, so I will once again be struggling.

GROUP: 3 GENRE: Horror THEME: Calm before the storm EMOTION: Cheerful
Been assigned horror before in other NYCM comps, but it’s beaten me each time. Here’s hoping for a better result this time 🤞 |

Group 40 - Comedy
Theme: Passive Aggressive Emotion: Aglow Not my favourite, but just happy it's not sci-fi again. I've had Sci-Fi for the last two rhyming story years and I kinda suck at it! Would be delighted to get historical fiction, as all my stories seem to have some history in them. Haven't been assigned it once in 3.5 years of NYC Midnight endeavours though lol Best of luck everyone

Group 14 Ghost: A bitter pill to swallow (theme), annoyed (emotion) I like the prompts. Hopefully a story comes emerges from them. It's nice to have a longer writing time with rhyming. Time to stand back from the story and consider plot holes and rhythm. Good luck, everyone! |

Hello, all!
Group: 31 Genre: Fairy Tale and/or Fantasy Theme: Animal rights Emotion: Vengeful I have to admit, I'm not unhappy with these prompts. I've never had fairy tale before, so I'm excited to try. Good luck, and happy writing!
