ForThePromptless – S. 2, Ep. 1 – The Alter Ego

Posted on the 15 May 2013 by Rarasaur @rarasaur

“Prompts for the Promptless” was created to expand minds, share ideas, and — equally importantly — find something about which to blog.

Every episode will run for a week and feature a “concept”, complete with a super-simplified definition and suggested prompts.
Then it’s your turn– use a prompt, create your own, write a poem, post a picture, tell a story, or do whatever you feel inspired to do.

  • Everyone is welcome to be Prompted.
  • Tag your posts with “ForThePromptless” so others can find you.
  • Link back to this post so I can find you.  If you do that, and give me a day, you’ll find your link in this post and my sidebar.  And anywhere else I can put it to promote your involvement!
  • You may participate as many times as you’d like.

The Alter Ego, in Latin, literally means “Second I” or “Second Self”.  It can refer to an opposite side to the personality within someone, or a counterpart like a trusted friend.

Suggested Prompts:

  • Share a picture of your alter ego, whether it be your best friend, or a version of you that others don’t often see
  • Share a picture of your pet’s alter egos
  • Write a poem/story about the alter ego
  • Make a list of your favorite alter ego duos in literature or film
  • … or make up your own prompt related to the theme!

Current Cast:
