Writing Prompts Contest #20：Alternate History

Alternate history fiction refers to a story where a modern day person time travels back to a certain point in the past. Everyone has read stories from history before. In the real world, history is written down on textbooks that people can learn from. However, it's impossible to change what's happened in history. But in alternate fiction stories, the main character can receive an identity that gives them the opportunity to change history.

1) The main character must transmigrate to a real time in our history.

There's many popular topics that can be used. Here are some examples that you could choose from:
Italy during the time of the Renaissance

Byzantine Empire's rule
Victorian-era England
France during the French Revolution
Phillipines when it first obtained its independence
America during its Civil War
America during the gold rush period
Spain during the Age of Discovery
And so on, and so on.

Of course, you're free to choose any time and place in history that you wish, as long as the historical background itself isn't fictional.

2) The main character's greatest advantage is that they possess knowledge and common sense from modern times. He or she will be able to obtain various advantages due to this, allowing them to live a successful life in the ancient times and even change the path of history.

Some typical examples of "knowledge and common sense" could be: how to create glass, how to create gunpowder, how to improve alcohol distilling, the invention of paper and printing, the invention of penicillin, discovering untapped resources, how to improve the process of extracting oil, the discovery of scientific laws, and so on.

All of this seems like very easy common sense to us today. But, remember that it would be shocking to anyone from a past generation. The main character would then be able to have such an advantage due to this: obtaining wealth, authority, reputation, and so on. The main character will introduce this modern knowledge to the world before it's supposed to appear, and thus speed up the development of the world.

3) Don't be afraid. Write whatever you want!

We don't have any requirements like being one hundred percent accurate to how history was. To be honest, it's impossible for anyone to have such accurate depictions of history unless you're a history professor or scholar.

Still, all of us have some basic knowledge and ideas about how history should be like. Don't be worried about historical inaccuracies. Use any idea that you want to create the best story you can!

Writing Prompts Contest #21：Sailor Moon

The extremely popular manga Sailor Moon was a pioneer in launching the genre with females saving the world, and it gained phenomenal success.

The punishment of evil to save the world should not only be the privilege of men.

That is things that people who belittle women and harm women should know: Women do not only pay attention to themselves or improve their own tiny worlds, but that they also have the wish and ability to help others, and even save the world!

People believe that women with good looks and bodies are beautiful; but, women who have the ability to hold their fates in their hands and save the world are even more beautiful!

Please begin creating your version of Sailor Moon!
