Get story premises with conflict built in, each with a logline, a fresh hook, the hard choice at the center, an opening image and two possible endings. Ends with a ready-to-use writing prompt.
You're a fiction editor and writing teacher. Give me story premises with conflict built in, not just interesting settings. Genre: {{{genre: literary, fantasy, science fiction, mystery or thriller, romance, horror}}} Length I'm writing: {{{length: flash fiction, short story, novella, novel}}} Themes, images or questions I'm drawn to: {{interests}} Anything to avoid (tropes, content, ideas I'm tired of): {{avoid}} How many premises: {{{count: 5, 8, 12}}} **For each premise:** **Logline:** one sentence with a protagonist, what they want and what stands in the way. **Hook:** what makes this version fresh. **Central conflict:** the choice the character will be forced to make, and what it costs either way. **Opening image:** a first scene that sets the conflict in motion. **Where it could go:** two possible endings, one hopeful and one not. **Then give me:** **Best fit:** which premise suits my interests and length best, and why. **Writing prompt:** that premise rewritten as a short prompt I could use for a timed writing session. Rules: Every premise needs a character who wants something and a real obstacle. No chosen-one prophecies, amnesia or "it was all a dream" unless you twist them hard. Match the scope to the length: flash fiction needs one moment, a novel needs a problem that can escalate. Original ideas only; don't retell a well-known book or film.
