Ghostwriter... Word!

Some small pointers:
- If you include a creature or thing in your prompt we might not know, please give us a short description.
- You may give us a preferred genre and we will try to adhere to it, although we make no promises.

That's all. Thank you for your creative input in advance and we look forward to writing for you!

Writing Prompt

[WP] A cult is about to sacrifice a child in the name of their dark god. That's when the deity shows up and says: "People, my house is teeming with these kids you keep sending me. It would please me more if you raised them yourselves in a responsible manner."

Writing Prompt

[WP] You (a supervillain) and a superhero actually work together to help the city. In one fight, the damage to a building forced the owner to bring it up to code. In another, your conflict "accidentally" exposed crimes that were getting swept under the rug. Someone's pieced it all together, though.

Writing Prompt

[WP] Fantasy races have all become space faring empires in a galactic community. Today, the session is about the inhumane working conditions for miners. Only the miners are dwarves…and they seem to like the unsafe conditions.

About Community

We don’t know where he came from. He just showed up one night. He’s not an alien. We think he might be a ghost. He wants to be friends with us. He can’t hear, and he can’t talk. He can read anything. He takes letters, and he writes with them. We’re the only ones who can see him. That means he wants you on the team. You have to promise never to tell anybody about Ghostwriter. We're the Ghostwriter Team. We check out clues and solve mysteries. He's a ghost and he writes to us... Ghostwriter.
