21~ The child-The chosen
So we can't write stories on the fly, but we can be really good narrators at war with each other... apparently. Prompt: A story where two narrators are constantly against one another. One always tries to kill off the main character, but the other saves them in the nick of time. What to expect:...

20~ Catch Up
After encountering the wildest brainstorm in April, Lozzie's uni screenplay sees the light of day. If anything, the success of this story PROVES that the prompt book is the most iconic, helpful and successful creation to ever exist. Follow the brainstorm from a boyband dreamscape to a budding…

Bonus~ The travellers and the forgotten carousel
In this episode, Chlo shares a deep, short story idea, and a heartfelt love story between a magician and a girl with dark forces driving them apart (not as cliche as it sounds). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

19 ~ Miraculous, but Mascots
Fun. Funky. Fresh. Except that all of our inspiration is derived from mid 2000's romcoms. Join us in our venture to meeting Sadie St James and Carson Carmichele and all their beautiful basketball blindness. Prompt: The greatest competition between you and the love of your life was a cat. And…

18 ~ The Amber Project
There is always an allure towards secret spies and assassins. But what if one of them came from amber and set out to annoy the best assassin in the most inconvenient ways? That story might be even more interesting. Prompt: You haul in the cereal isle. ‘Never gonna give you up’ by Rick Astley…

17 ~ Weirder Things - definitely not Stranger Things
Nostalgia is a powerful phenomenon, but what's more powerful is our drive to NOT mimic popular tv shows with our stories. This week we take a break from our fantasy high and take on something a little darker... a missing twin. Prompt: It was evident that the National Park was haunted. Apparitions...
-
16 ~ Women in STEM
Despite the title, this is quite a creative episode where curse meets science, and love meets tribulation. Also, this episode is approximately 30% laughing. Prompt: There is a travelling phenomena where it becomes perpetually night within a certain radius. Unbeknownst to scientists, it is a…

15~ Shine without your sparkle
Fuelled by a new found appreciation for Webtoons (thank you Heartstopper), we take a dive into portraying mental health through the lens of colour theory, metaphors and instruments. Prompt: Please don’t reach out and take the pain from within me, because you’ll take some part of me with it. What…

14~ Rowalia
Aside from Lozzie failing us with her audio, this story is worthy of epic fantasy music. Prompt: It was a perfect day for a stroll in the countryside when a group astride horses halted before me. “We are in need of a guide in these foreign lands. Would you like to aid us in overthrowing the…

13~ Brenda Browski is our Guardian Angel
At last, the Angel Sitcom sees the light of day! Join us for a very messy episode breakdown of Chlo's long standing sitcom plan, and Lozzie's deep dive into all the teen shows they've watched. Prompt: Upon reaching Heaven, you are ushered to the VIP area. Seeing your confusion, your liaison...
-
12 ~ Stardust but more chaotic
This is the episode where we deep dive into our appreciation of Stardust (2007 film). Although it may be set in the aforementioned fantasy world, the story has taken on a life of its own. Prompt: Once upon a time an angel and fallen angel fell in love. By miracle they had a child to which the…

11~ We should've been Wattpad authors
Are you ready for some emotional whiplash? This week, we decide that Fred and George Weasley (or should we say, George and Fred?) needed their own Disney Channel Original Movie... what could possibly go wrong? Prompt: New month, new week, new you. Well, more like the savage dark side can finally...
-
10~ Birthday Season
In this special episode (10 being a made-up lucky number) we interview Chlo about her favourite story idea that she's somewhat developed. Prompt: I can't remember, but it's about everyone in a family (cousins included) being born on the same month. So instead of everyone giving gifts at once…

9~ Love is in the Air
Witches and spies aren't typically seen together, but what happens if they are? With the award winning soundtrack that doesn't exist (but would sound like an orchestral cover of Toxic by Brittany Spears), join us this Autumn on this niche journey between a Spy and a Witch. Prompt: No more than…

8~ The Seven Stages of You
What do you get when you combine cosy, rainy weather, 5SOS and the seven deadly sins? A damn good stage production idea, that's what! This week's story is full of metaphors and coordination, so prick up your deep and meaningful ears and dive right in. Prompt: Movie/book titles (number) (noun) and...
-
7~ How Can I Live, Laugh, Love in These Conditions?
Warning: no story was produced in the making of this episode. Undoubtedly, we did jump from one fanfic to another, worthy of a Wattpad to Netflix adaptation. Nonetheless, not all stories can be masterpieces on the first go. Prompt 1: “We’ve been married 35 years.” “You get less for murder.”…

6~ Love Standards: as Set by Death and Buzz Lightyear
Are you ready for a heartfelt and heartbreaking tale of star crossed lovers separated by time? While it took us a solid 20 minutes to finally develop the prompt, we put our whole lovey dovey hearts into creating the perfect love story. Prompt: Death has a crush on you, but fears your ultimate...
-
5~ Stacy Slime is Sublime
This is the episode that has thrust us into the world of poorly-written sitcoms. However, there are lessons to be learnt from this episode, such that Lozzie knows too much about actors. Prompt: Due to a very unfortunate scientific experiment, your significant other was transformed into a liquid....
-
4~ Fairytales should stay separate stories
In a state of relaxation and delirium, join us as we attempt to mishmash classic fairytales into Franken-stories that don't make a whole lot of sense. Prompt: In the future, all fairytale stories have been removed from history, but not from memory. Now, as humans attempt to retell these fables,...
-
3~ Crying at the Eggshell Epiphany
In what is probably our deepest story yet (3 episodes in) we delve into a social commentary about a utopia and the importance of exploring your passions. Prompt: Think of a cheesy metaphor/simile, then use an antonym. What to expect: sad birdbath stories, colour and lighting themes, the origin of...
-
2~ Toad VS Mario: The Origin of the TGU
While Chlo learns how to better her audio quality quicker than Lozzie, this episode sidesteps into something truly spectacular: the Mario Gaming Universe. Prompt: The toad was left stranded atop a journal, at least they thought it was a journal - maybe it had been their journal. Oh look…
