Bless your hearts and hold on to your butts. Use both hands.
You are going to write a story ABOUT the main characters. But the main characters... are NOT in the story.
lolwut
Stay with me, folks. Remember where you are. This is not supposed to be easy. It's why you're here, right?
So what do I mean by this?
June in the US is traditionally a time for people to get married. My parents' anniversary is June 7th. So the whole story will be revolving around a wedding.
HOWEVER
The bride and groom (or bride/bride or groom/groom, for universal human fairness) ARE NOT TO BE IN THE STORY.
wutlol
The main character/characters have to be anyone else other than the two individuals getting married. They can be bridesmaids or groomsmen, parents or any other family members related to the individuals getting married. They can be friends of the bride/groom/brides/grooms. They can be enemies/haters of the bride/groom/brides/grooms. Yes. The individuals getting married are not to be characters in the story. Think about the characters in the story and how they relate to each other (not meaning they HAVE TO BE related). That will determine the rest.
THE REST?!
You all ready to smash me yet? Hang on a sec.
I want the underlying theme here to be gossip. However you view gossip, it must be an element to the story. I'm not gonna lead you in one way or another. You know how to think, you know what you feel about gossip. Go with your instincts.
So put these elements together and come up with something stunning.
I know there's a lot going on. You can do it. I'll help you through it if you need me. Think about what you're doing before you dive head-first into it. Take some time. It's not a cure for cancer, it's just a story.

If you have questions, never hesitate to get in touch either with a note here or at my personal page.
Hello. Welcome to ScreamPrompts. Go to the About Us page and read the "About Us" information. Then read the Manifesto. Both are very important regarding whether or not you belong here. Not everyone does. That is fine. It is not personal. Not everyone is ready to be awesome. But when you are, I'll be here waiting.
If you're not already watching my personal page, add me to your watch as soon as possible. Oftentimes I have information for ScreamPrompts in my journal over there that you should be aware of, stuff that might help you succeed, stuff that might make you proud, stuff that could really help. And on occasion, I might spotlight one of you all. So please, add me to your watch list. I will return the favor if I'm not already watching you.
You can generally reach me after midnight, Pacific Standard Time; that's when I'm more likely to be here. Of course, I respond to all notes within 24 hours.
To stay up to date with prompts and other information, please read the blog entries. There are important things to know and other things to consider hidden in them sometimes... there's no telling what I might wharrgarbl about.
If this is your first time here, read the Manifesto (
To learn about how I run this show , read the "About Us" page. It is as important as the Manifesto, even if it's not as entertaining.
Feel like you've missed a prompt? No worries; click on the Journal link and you'll find the List. The prompts don't expire so if you want to try one out, go for it. Remember, you must be a member if you want your work to have a shot of making it to the gallery.

) but really, great idea! Yeah, I've never been much inspired with one word/ lame prompts because they are open to so many interpretations, and I worry too much about being original, or there are too many possibilities, that I don't write anything at all. 
I believe that restraint is a good way to pump out creativity, and it does it better than something that is not as limited. Hence, whenever I try my poetry, I tend to make it fixed in a way, even if it isn't a traditional fixed form. What happens afterward is amazing (i'm inspired to put effort and all that shit), and that's what I want to do in regards to prose.
