I don't know about you, but staring at the same prompts was starting to get old for me. Not to mention that I had said the board would stay up for less than five weeks, so... here's a new one. Enjoy!

somigliana again for the board. The prompts are by me,

The goal of Writing Game is not to make multiple rounds around the board, but to accumulate as many points as possible.
You may switch fandoms/worlds whenever you first pass 20 points, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, then free for all.
e.g. Total points: 19. Complete a +3 prompt.
This brings you to 22 points. At this point you may switch fandoms/worlds.
Always follow the alphabet, unless you land on a PC.
For the Player's Choice squares, you can only take more than one prompt if the ones you choose are in the same row.
If you land on a corner, you choose one of the prompts that has the same colour square as the corner you’re in.
All the general rules can be found in the user profile. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
