The writing prompts invite postcrossers to write about a different topic on their postcards’ messages every month. These are just suggestions though — if you already know what you want to write about, or the recipient gives you some pointers, that’s great too!
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to visit another planet? Aficionados of sci-fi and fantasy have probably thought about this already, and probably everyone who ever dreamed of being an astronaut… so we thought it’d be interesting to ask about the planets that everyone would love to visit!
Those who’ve been reading my writing prompt posts for a while probably already know that I’m a huge fan of the massive multiplayer online roleplaying game Final Fantasy XIV (don’t worry, I won’t launch into the full joke/meme about the extended free trial, etc). It’s a world “I” spend a fair amount of time in as my avatar, the Warrior of Light, getting up to all kinds of adventures—learning a dozen different fighting styles from mage to monk, becoming a master crafter, catching all the “Big Fish” the game has to offer, etc, etc. (I’m a terrible monk, though.) So I think it’ll have to be my choice now!
There’s so much variety in the world of Final Fantasy XIV, after all, starting with Eorzea (where the story begins) and spreading across the world to Tural, the home of the most recent expansion. There’s something for everyone, and while I don’t possess the skills of a Warrior of Light, I’m pretty sure no one could object to me slipping into the huge library in Old Sharlayan and finding myself a book (or two, or three). And surely I couldn’t get into too much trouble if I took ship for Tuliyollal, to indulge in what look from the cutscenes like truly awesome tacos.
Of course, there are so many other worlds I’m a fan of from fiction, from various fairylands to utopian societies on planets orbiting stars we can see in our night sky. But I’m a humble and unadventurous soul, really, so curious as I am, I’d have to leave the heroics to someone else… but what about you? Is there a planet you’d love to see, and would it be full of adventures?
