Hi all, and welcome another set of fiction writing prompts. If you missed the list from February, check it out below! Once again, I’ll will share a separate round-up of responses.

My focus this time is on weird and wonderful March Hare vibes…

the crazier the better!

Let’s get creative! And consider submitting your fiction to us here at The Den this spring.

Idea 1

It’s spring! Write a flash fiction story based around something growing — or failing to grow. Or, to be more metaphorical, it could be about a person, object or creature that springs up unexpectedly.

Idea 2

Madness is sometimes described as ‘great folly.’ Write a story about someone doing something very foolish, or otherwise engaged in some kind of folly. Do they know, are they warned, and do they go ahead anyway?
