No matter the form of media, good writing can be admired like good cooking. A suspenseful intro hook thrown in to simmer with an intriguing storyline, seasoned by a logical plot, as well as a satisfying ending is as much akin to a meal as I can think of. I believe it was Ray Bradbury who said something along the lines of "every story has but one (proper) ending," and I found this quote to be more and more relevant throughout writing this list. In this list we will be examining some of the best written games whose aspects- in terms of writing- are very well-rounded. Good endings require an amazing setup, like propping up dominoes only to watch them fall elegantly and haphazardly into place. So please enjoy this list, gamer or not, because everyone enjoys when dominoes drop (i.e. the climax).

I tried to give these stories a larger meaning than simply that of revenge, which is usually not a subject worth writing about as such.

This is going to sound monumentally egotistical, but at an early stage in my writing I became conscious of using wordplay that I knew wouldn’t translate well into another language. That came out of my obsession with the works of Vladimir Nabokov. So I stopped doing too much of that, which is difficult because wordplay comes fairly natural to me. And the problem with wordplay that’s too abstruse is this: if a reader doesn’t get it, then it was a waste of time to do it in the first place; if a reader does get it, it’s not really that much to get. I’ve analyzed the double entendres and multilingual puns in several of Nabokov’s books. That’s not what’s of most interest about him as a writer. What is interesting is his idiosyncratic persona and his obsession with death, harm, loss, and all those bad things which are at the core of literature in general but which, for a major big shot writer of the modern era, are especially pronounced in Nabokov.

I recently came upon a post exploring the possibility of Time Travel. In that post the writer, ( my friend &tarunandlaxmi ) pointed out that most conventional scientists of our day think backward time travel, or traveling into the past is an impossibility. However, according to Relativity Theory skipping into the future should be quite possible, given the ability to attain great speeds approaching but not quite reaching the speed of light. We aren't that fast yet, but if we should live long enough, and attain sufficient technological advancement, relativistic speeds are within our grasp. When that day comes, the principles of time dilation will make future time travel very possible. However, by that method, it is a one way trip. There would be no way to come back with that particular technological approach. But we are still left with the question; is it possible to travel back to the past, by some other technological method?

I'm not a huge fan of the "fuzzier", writing-as-spiritual-quest sites, so you won't find much of that here. Instead, I look for sites that offer real information writers can use about the craft of writing - or about the business of writing, which can be a sticky point for a lot of writers who fear sullying their creative mind with the dirty work of day-to-day business matters.

These twenty story prompts might help writers develop some interesting stories, books, and screenplays. I hope you give me at least some credit for literary inspiration. I'll give more prompts in different genres in the future. Good luck.
