**Guidelines**

• Submissions be writing, graphic art, even a FMV (fan made video) but it must tell a story, please use the #WOLpromptaday hashtag to connect your work. Links can be placed on Twitter, AO3, Tumblr or our Discord server.

We love to see how you have used our prompts and how they helped your story. Linking helps us to know which topics to use in the future.

Please reference the prompt in either your title or in the work description so that we know which one you are referring to.

• We fully encourage you to keep an ongoing thread about your WOLs story. Be it on Tumbler, AO3, LiveJournal, or any other place you’re comfortable sharing your stories.

NSFW must be marked as such. Themes with a sexual or otherwise “spicy” nature need to be labeled. As do works that entire excessive graphic violence. We’ve seen your WOLqotd, we know how much you like to traumatize your squishy OCs, otherwise you wouldn’t be here. While we understand the basis of Final Fantasy XIV and how it includes “some” graphic content. We also acknowledge that sometimes there can be “too much”. We recognize that there was a villain personality that preferred violence for the sake of violence. We ask that if you have a subject in your work that might cause others to revisit past trauma that you please label your work for the appropriate themes.

- Sexual Themes, and/or Torture are just a few examples.

Readers please keep in mind that this is the artists head cannon, as Yoshi-p has said may times “there are endless possibilities and endless stories, everyone has their own version of their story”. Please don’t forget that sometimes writers ignore or rewrite cannon; this is encouraged by the devs!

Be kind with your comments. If you don’t like the head cannon we invite you to write down your own version. If someone “got the lore wrong’ please keep in mind they may have changed it or had to ‘wing it” when they couldn’t find a proper source. Give it a chance, we know the FFXIV devs change lore often.

You cannot submit past works. Entires have to be new products. Reworks are allowed but submissions need to be mostly new content. The purpose of the prompts is to expand on your WOL/Ds Lore.

• Participants may send in prompt ideas to the admins via a direct message via Tumblr, Twitter, AO3, or Discord.

• Dialogue prompts should have the prompt worked into the piece somehow. Whether by actual lines said or by inner thoughts. This helps readers understand why that prompt is important to the scene.

Where is your WOLs favorite escape place or zone? Do they prefer the hustle and bustle of Limsa Lominsa or the peace and quiet of the Shirogane beaches? The out of reach spaces of Norvrandt or the bustling diverse streets of Tuliyollal.

Where do they do when they need to escape the chaos and just be themselves for a while?

Is your WoL actually naturally gifted with powers aside from the Echo? Or have they gotten by with sheer dumb luck? 

How do they know they can take a chance and gamble on the outcome? Do they always toss caution to the wind or are they carefully calculated?

What would make them attempt to do things the other way? ( @naga-lalamaga )

By some strange ripple in the aether, your WOL forgets their main job and now are an expert in the exact opposite. DPS becomes healer, melee becomes caster, Tanks becomes ranged DPS, caster becomes melee, healer becomes Tank.

Tell the story about how they would overcome this situation and still save the world. ( @naga-lalamaga )

“How did you impact/ develop a team member today?”

Everyone knows we’re the hero of our tale. What other ways has your WOL impacted the world? How has your WOL helped a Frontline Scion or other person grow? Did this also help your WOL? What are the repercussions, if any, of knowing your WOL? What ways has your WOL “hindered” a frontline Scion or other NPC?

Your WOL gets the chance to “unmeet” a single person from their past. (NPC) Who is it? Would you choose to meet them again or go a different path? WOL may take the opportunity to try to save them, and change history. They may also choose to remove them from their story all together.

Bonus Points if it’s NOT Haruchafaunt!!!

Khloe Aliapoh doesn’t live in Idyllshire. Her parents survive their “adventurer accident” either because they triumphed successfully or they suffered injuries that ended their adventuring careers.

In effect Khloe never creates the “Wondrous Tales” adventure journals. “Faux Hollows” are never created either, leaving so many adventurers bored out of their minds and forgetting the finer details of some of their story.

How would not being able to revisit past content through “Wondrous Tales” affect your WOL? Do they live for the nostalgia or marvel at the prizes Rowena provides for Khloe? What might happen if it was discontinued?

The Ul’dah merchant Rowena (AKA Mowen / Rhodina) doesn’t create her “House of Splendors” in any realm or any timeline. In turn Gerolt never becomes the world’s foremost blacksmith, losing himself to his cups.

How does not having a relic quest in each expansion affect your WOL; if it does at all? What other things might the “House of Splendors” be good for aside from recreating antiquities and dumping mass amounts of excess tomestone into?

Ardbert Hylfyst never becomes a Warrior of light nor coverts to Darkness and never creates his company of fellow adventurers. In effect, he never travels to Eorzea and is never there to help us fight for the First.

How would it impact your WOL to have to travel that road alone? How does it feel now knowing what we know about him and his soul?

F'lhaminn Qesh never adopts Minfillia Ward. Instead, after orchestrating tragedy in the Ul’dah parade (see note below) that took Minfillia fathers life, the songstress of Ul’Dah continues to tour Eorzea and collects Gil for the families affected; leaving Minfillia to survive the streets of Nald Thal on her own.

Perhaps there is a situation where F'lhaminn is performing in Ul’Dah and encounters Minfillia after the Seventh Umbral Calamity. Would she know or remember her?

This also means she never convinced Minfillia to move to the Rising Stones and was never there to warn Tataru to leave before the Crystal Braves could capture her.

How would her absence affect your WOL?

Bonus: F'lhaminn Qesh’s 1.0 story can be seen in the goldsmith, and alchemist ARR storylines. She also has a small part in the dancer quest line. If your WOL knows this part of her story, how does it affect how they view F'lhaminn?

Lyna is never adopted by the Crystal Exarch, and never becomes Captain of the Crystarium. We never get to learn about the more human side of the Exarch as told by her. We might never see the camaraderie of the people who live in the safety of the city, and the vulnerability of the people who live in smaller settlements in the same way.

Instead Lyna now goes by another more traditional viis name and lives as a hunter guardian in the Rak’Tika great wood. Her parents are very much alive. It’s her mother who makes her a formidable fighter. Her father, as is viis / viera tradition, lives elsewhere but is no less present in her life.

How might her story and in turn our experiences in Norvrandt have changed if Lyna’s parents had survived their fate and had the change to raise their daughter as a viis instead of as the daughter of the Crystarium?
