Flash Fiction Friday - The Offering
Flash Fiction Friday - The Offering
I actually wrote this yeterday but I was having some net connectivity problems and couldn't post it before bed. So here it is now! I did something a bit different with this flash fiction piece.

I tried a new technique for randomized flash fiction prompts yesterday. Check it out!



What timing! My husband and were just yesterday talking about use of tarot, iching and other stochastic devices to help suggest new ideas.
I rather like that you didn't rigidly use the cards, too. If there were a proper plot-scene-character variant of the tarot cards, it wouldn't be as effective in forcing ideas and solutions precisely because it was too rigid.
Seeing the fuzzy outlines of your ideas in twilight is much better.
Thanks, I really enjoyed trying the technique. Yeah I think doing it more rigidly would've been awkward. I did it more like, this card is scarcity of recourses so maybe there's a plague and there's one for cooperation to solve problems to that can be a council of elders etc. it's funny because the very last card, the lovers, gave me my mc and then everything else just kind of faded into backdrop. It was interesting and fun. Will definitely do it again.
