Malorie's Peak Prompts Spotlight
by Elsceetaria and ubiquitous
On the 12th of August, Malorie's Peak Prompts celebrated its 50th Prompt!! We held a countdown in the lead up to this momentus occasion, and we had plenty of responses to new and old prompts alike. Below are some of the recent responses which we thought were must-reads:
Title: The Price of Dreaming
Author: museical
Rating: PG
Prompt: #47 - Forbidden
Summary: In Gainel's experience, he rarely gets the opportunity to interact with humans...until now. Where does one draw the line between safety and meddling too much in the Mortal Realms?
Because: It's a lovely piece showing the powers and limitations Ganiel has, and fits nicely into the current canon. It's one of the longer MPP responses, and it's available in podfic form as well!
