Hello and welcome back to the third Serpentine Sorting System! Rules and details can be found here.
The last time we did this was with Vitalis LLC back in November of 2021, but we're finally back and ready for a third helping.
Rules/How to use this thread: Every person may submit a maximum of two prompts. Prompts should be 1 sentence in length max, and should not go into extreme detail. Something general like "A world where humans and aliens live in social tension" or "Lobster World" are best. Specific details will be fleshed out in the second stage of the event, however, remember that these prompts are the jumping-off point for an entire canon, so get creative! The suggestion period will close on June 19th 11:59 PM British Summer Time (BST) OR whenever we hit 64 prompts total, whichever comes first.
Here are my two suggestions:
1) Humanity awakens all at once from cryogenic sleep to discover planet Earth covered in new ruins; remnants of an unknown civilisation not present before the great sleep, and now, long gone.
2) It is a misconception that prayers go unanswered, they are simply redirected to the nearest available god - or otherwise - to be answered at their discretion, whatever that may be…
Please number your suggestions sequentially. This is for ease on staff's part of keeping track of where we are in the process. For example, I gave suggestions 1 and 2. The person who posts after me, providing they give two prompts, will label theirs 3 and 4. Next will be 5 and 6, and so on. Please do not reply to this message specifically; create a new post within the thread.
Remember, this is a collaboration, not a contest. It's not about having the best idea or winning anything, it's about working together to create something cool.
Good luck and have fun!
