I'd log into the admin account, but I'm feeling a bit lazy. Nonetheless, this is an admin question.

We're looking for more places to get Supply prompts, in case any we currently use stop updating or we decide to add more. We'd like to stick to non-LJ places to get prompts, so we're a bit stumped on what to substitute. Daily or weekly ones are preferable, and we're okay with basically any non-LJ site. I would prefer to avoid dictionary.com's Word of the Day (we're already using Merriam-Webster's), Wikiquote's Quote of the Day (we already have daily quotes), as well as Wikipedia's Article of the Day, the horoscope.com daily horoscope for the current sign, Wikipedia's Picture of the Day, and the daily song from LyricWiki. (Those last four are for other reasons.)

We're considering things along the lines of the National Geographic Photo of the Day, the horoscope.com generic horoscope, and NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, if that helps.

Does anyone have any ideas? Like I said, anything except those six specifics goes.

kink_bingo? (They do allow original fiction now, though the last round has ended... but there's nothing preventing you from using the prompts.)

Tumblr random image?

I'm sorry, I thought I replied when you made this comment!

We'd use kink_bingo, but it seems like there's a long time between rounds, which makes it difficult to sign up for a card. (origfic_bingo, on the other hand, is included because there are card request posts each month.)

Is there a way to get a random image on Tumblr, or would we need to find a picture each day and post it somewhere?

[clare_dragonfly]

That's okay! It's entirely possible I was hallucinating when I wrote the comment anyway since the things I was thinking of aren't there anymore :-P

For Kink Bingo, I was sort of thinking that any prompt chosen from the list could work as a Supply. I actually thought there was a Supply like that for originalfic100, but that might be one of the things I hallucinated...

I also thought there was a "random image/post" function on Tumblr, but either that's gone or it was never there. You can do "random post" for individual blogs, but I don't know of any blogs that are specifically devoted to writing prompts or anything like that.

I did just now remember that I have a bunch of plot twist/logline/story element generators bookmarked, if that would be of interest...?

[rainbowmods]

That would definitely be of interest. Thank you!

Oh, I love that one! I was just telling Nikki we should add one for glitter, and this could work.

[clare_dragonfly]

Awesome! There should definitely be a glitter :D
