A place for writers to inspire each other to write things out of nothing.

My idea for a start:

The young mage apprentice Gustavo faces a challenge. He lived inside the college and walked across one of the empty hallways. But there he encounters a beast of old legends: A frost troll. Why? Who left it stroll freely across the campus? No matter; It is aggressive and he will need to defeat it. The problem: he is a specialized ice mage and trolls are resistant to frost.

You can go in a different direction using the heading if you want.

Nice! I love how this sets up some further plot; there might be something evil haunting the trolls (and humans) in the mages school.

I'd have some ideas but I wouldn't spoil other attempts. Also I just quickly typed it out, spelling and grammar be damned.
