I Wrote a Short Story, and I Liked it

[kriadydragon]

The problem with me and short stories is that it's difficult for me to come up with a short story without it wanting to turn into something long and involved. Or without it becoming some sort of id fic that pushes all my buttons but otherwise is barely a story at all.

So I would adore some prompts for an original short story. A trope or idea you'd like to see written (for example, dragon and knight setting aside their differences because it's tea time... or something). As usual with me and prompts, I can't promise that they'll be written, or that the prompt idea won't morph inside my head into something entirely different. But I do love prompts, and would really like some more short-story ideas to write.

So prompt me :D Fantasy and sci-fi ideas especially. I also like steampunk.

I would LOVE to see you write something about the interstellar animal shelter that you mentioned in my journal! That's such a great idea. :D It could have all kinds of weird alien creatures. Perhaps, among all the exotic alien animals, someone finds an animal that we consider commonplace (a cat?) that is thought to be extinct in their future time, so it's the most exotic one of all!
