MUSE BY SENTENCE MEME


muse by sentence meme
Tell a story in one sentence

Inspired by our muse community [community profile] musebysentence . We know that not everyone is interested in joining comms, so we thought we would host a meme based on our community concept and if it is successful, possibly make it a monthly thing.

If anyone enjoys the meme, they are welcome to join us on a regular basis at
[community profile] musebysentence
, where we offer weekly prompts for muses with open membership. Muses tell their stories in a single sentence about any facet of their life, with first person or third person stories welcome. Sentence stories can be a stand-alone post as merely a snapshot of your character's life, or also act as kick-offs for open RP in response to the sentence like other like RP comms out there, which is our premise for this meme today.


Sometimes, a single sentence can paint a bigger picture. Select from one of the 100 prompts below from our prior prompt sets and write a single sentence story for your muse as your starting point. It can literally be about anything. It can be in first person to kick off a conversation, or third person to kick off a whole scene. The choice is up to you. Snapshot a tiny piece of your character's life and others are welcome to tag replies to it.

Alternatively, much in the spirit of TFLN, you may prefer to "borrow" a sentence for a starting point from
www.onesentence.org that suits your character. If you do, please just note at the bottom of the post a credit to this site so we are aware it's not your own original work just out of courtesy. If a sentence is your own work, no need to add any credits.

RULES:
Leave a comment with your character's name, fandom, and any preferences you have in the subject line. Add here if you have a preference to first person or third person replies, also. If you don't mention a preference to style, taggers can assume anything goes.
In the comment box of your post, put your sentence, whether it is original or from the above website. Remember to add a small credit at the bottom if it's not your work.
Try to make your sentence something people can inspire a scene from, which is ultimately the purpose of the meme. On the flipside, taggers are encouraged to think outside the box in their replies - be as creative as you want in coming up with a scene in response to the sentence! Maybe you have overheard the person musing to themselves? Maybe it's an online chat? Maybe you're in a mutual location that fits the mood of the sentence? Anything goes.
Smut welcome if you're happy for it, but remember to state yes or no to it in your preference. If you're not bothered either way and happy to see where it goes, just leave it blank.
Have fun, enjoy, and remember if you enjoy our premise, you're always welcome to join us at [community profile] musebysentence, where you can post sentences just for your own enjoyment or as an invitation to open RP any time you like!

#36. New beginnings

Central Park had become one of Rachel's favourite places, and as she sat there watching the passing crowd, wondering what everyone's stories were, she realised it was well and truly time to close the book on her past and step firmly into the new chapter of her life despite how much her heart was aching.

[He is unfamiliar with this area, but it's not his place. This is... Somewhere else. The people seem as unfamiliar as the trees, buildings, sounds and smells all around him and the very moment that the young empire notices that he is being watched, he stops. And looks around, faint worry rising in him. His brother taught him not to show his fears, though. But his brother isn't here right now...

Biting his lower lip, he finally spots the woman that seems to be watching him. The way she is dressed is just as unusual as that of everyone else here, but she doesn't seem dangerous.

The blond boy in the fancy, yet fairly old-fashioned uniform frowns slightly at her, but doesn't dare to step closer.]
