(He also suggested I call it a marvellous suggestion)’
As I pressed submit on my microfiction with promps Comedy/winking/draw, my husband mused “maybe they should keep the same prompts for every genre”. And now I can’t stop thinking about it.

That’s kind of what the final round is with ‘open’, you can make it any genre you’d like.
But yeah, sometimes I think where a prompt would lead if it were assigned a different genre. I expect the judges would be sick of reading about the same action with 1600+ stories about it

I guess it could be an interesting exercise to see what came out of different genres with the same prompts. But in the early rounds there are several groups with the same genre so you'd have an awful lot of very similar stories.

I've often thought it would be interesting to write ones own story in different genres for practice. Haven't gotten around to doing it yet ;)

You have me thinking... It would be a great exercise to re-write our stories in different genres. Not just writing a new story with the same prompts, but actually changing our stories to fit a new genre while keeping as many elements as possible. I might have to try this with mine!

I didn't see your comment right above mine until after I posted. I could have simply said "yeah, that!"
