*simplyprose is a club similar to *bevelled-edge when it was still active. *simplyprose aims to provide a place on DA where prose writers can feature their prose pieces without a selection process.

But there's a catch! *simplyprose is more than just a place for people to pimp their work. We hope to generate new prose pieces on DA. For this reason, *simplyprose will only feature prose pieces that have been written for prompts that *simplyprose has provided. These prompts will hopefully also serve as points of inspiration for those who want to write but just don't have the inspiration.


Every month, a new journal entry will be put up with the month's prompts. There will be four types of prompts: a scenario-type prompt, a character-type prompt, a word association prompt, and a miscellaneous-category prompt.

You can write for a single prompt, or for a combination of prompts. We ask that you send in a maximum of four pieces a time. Each submitted prose piece cannot have overlapping prompts.
