Did someone mention D&D? I have been summoned! 
Some type of fantasy quest inspired type prompt would be interesting, but I doubt theyâd ever do it. In part because if it would be like D&D that means that people would probably put combat mini-games into the stories, most likely along the lines of âshoot the attacking monsterâ. In which case, Episode would have to reject them all because you canât shoot an arrow at anything but an inanimate object. 
I like the coming to life idea. Certainly a lot that can be done with that kind of prompt. It also might be interesting to see a contest that revolves around adapting public domain stories. They kinda did this with the Fairy Tale Contest, but Iâd be interested to see some peopleâs take on classics such as Frankenstein, Dracula, The Hunchback of Notre Damme, Sherlock Holmes, ect.
