Bait Lists

Like the bait on a fishing hook, if you want to entice a writer, you should know what they are weak for. We are not empaths but fortunately, we all love exposing ourselves.

Wanting to prompt? Have a look here for some inspiration. Baiting makes writers excited about your prompt. Sprinkle some fake-dating or enemies-to-lovers and you'll make us weak at the knees

Content creators, open your heart and comment below about the ideas you want to write or draw.

Need ideas?

Genres - magical realism? sports anime? mafia?
Dynamics - casual intimacy? unrequited love? mentorship?
People - yes I mean biases, also calling out everyone who listened to Red (Taylor's Version)
Narrative Tropes - chase scene? heist? man vs nature (Woozi vs Hoshi)
Other media - bleak boyband bingo, squid game, whatever is popular with the youth
(Check out the 2021 bait list and bingo post).
