Narrowing my prompt nominations for FKFicFest '24

[brightknightie]

I don't think I'm going to manage to submit my fkficfest prompt nominations tonight after all, but we have through Thursday, and I've managed to pare my Notepad file down to 14 possibilities:

• Letters written to be delivered years in the future
• "Better days are shining through" -- Bruce Springsteen
• So restless my soul until
• Artist rediscovers muse
• Take my hand
• Journalist uncovers inspiring story
• Uphill battle
• Witness remembers key detail during interrogation
• Finding shelter
• Friends reunite after years of taking different paths
• Take the long way
• Internal Affairs investigates a suspicious track record
• "that crazy longing that time will never change" -- Jackson Browne
• Retiree pulled back in for one last case

We each get up to 5 nominations this year...

BTW, I looked up all the prompts we've used in the game since we started doing challenge-style in 2019. We've had 13, because the first year we had only one prompt, last year we had 4, and all the other years 3. These are not eligible for re-nominating (only those that didn't make it into their years' pools).

• (Urban) Legend
• The first week.
• This experiment went horribly wrong
• "Evil is a point of view."—Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire
• hidden witness
• "You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time."—Charles Kettering
• When everything changed
• "It's not what you are, it's what you do with it."—Mary Renault, The Charioteer, paraphrased
• interrupted by a disaster
• a moment of truth
• Cold case
• Do over
• when the price of your heart's desire is your heart
