110+ Sci-Fi Writing Prompts (+ Sci-Fi Story Idea Generator)

Bring on the robots, aliens and distant planets with this mega list of over 110 extraordinary sci-fi writing prompts.

Science fiction (or sci-fi for short) covers a breadth of topics including aliens, technology, future cities, space travel and scientific experiments. While many sci-fi stories are set in the future, they can also be set in the current time too. For instance, a scientist creating a new drug, or the discovery of life on Mars could be plot lines for sci-fi stories set right now in this exact time period. The thing about sci-fi is that it is the opposite of fantasy. Magic, monsters and fairy tales have no place in a sci-fi story unless there is a logical reason for them being. If you’re going to include monsters, creatures or aliens, think about the theory behind their creation. Is that monster the result of a science experiment gone wrong? Did life always exist on a distant planet? Numbers, formulas and logical reasoning are what make a sci-fi tale so believable.

50 Science Fiction Plot Ideas and Writing Prompts

50 Science Fiction Plot Ideas and Writing Prompts #science fiction plot ideas #science fiction writing prompts #sci fi story ideas #how to write a science fiction story #writing science fiction #writing prompts for adults #interesting writing prompts #5000 writing prompts bryn donovan pdf

One of my most popular blog posts is my 50 Fantasy Plot Ideas and Writing Prompts , so I thought I’d share a companion post of sci fi story ideas and writing prompts. Some of these may be more along the lines of “speculative fiction” than science fiction. They include prompts about the environment, artificial intelligence, genetics, medicine, time travel, space exploration, alien races, and alternative histories.

The real value of sci fi ideas, of course, is the way the author uses them to explore questions about society, humanity, and relationships. I created these as interesting writing prompts for adults, but many of them might be appropriate for teen writers, too. I think in order to really learn how to write a science fiction story, you need to read a lot in the genre, but this can still be a fun place to start.

If you’re interested in writing science fiction and you don’t have an agent, you might want to take a look at my roundup of fantasy and science fiction publishers who accept unsolicited (or unagented) manuscripts. And if you’re not writing scifi right now, but you might be in the future, you might want to pin or bookmark the post for future reference!

  • All citizens are temporarily neutered at birth. Would-be parents must prove to the government that they’ll be suitable caretakers and providers before they are allowed to procreate.
  • All marriages must be approved by a department of the government, which analyzes massive amounts of data to predict the success of the union, its economic and social impact on society, the health and welfare of any children, and so on. It’s such a hassle that many people opt for government-arranged marriages instead.
  • Global warming prompts rapid mutations in the human species.
  • The world’s leaders broker a deal with the alien invaders that many see as unfair.
  • Humans have discovered a way to communicate directly with animals, and all the meat they consume is lab-created.

  • Breeding modern humans with large amounts of Neanderthal DNA leads to interesting results.
  • In this world, Napoleon’s army took over Australia, he never lost at Waterloo, France took control of most of Europe, and World War I and World War II never happened.
  • An alien from a planet where no one else experiences empathy comes to live on Earth, believing they will fit in better there.
  • A drug that makes people non-confrontational has been added to the public water supply and to all beverages sold by major corporations.

  • High-speed robotic horses become a trendy alternative to cars and weave through heavy traffic with ease.
  • Birds and butterflies are able to navigate on long migrations due to proteins in their bodies that align with the earth’s magnetic fields. Scientists put these proteins to a new use.

  • Spies use tiny implants in the retina that record and transmit everything to the commanders in another country. The implants dissolve after a certain amount of time.
  • The first time travellers seem to have no ability to improve the course of human events. If they kill Hitler, for instance, some other person does exactly what he did. They search for the way to really alter the timeline.
  • Astronauts develop strange and unexpected symptoms in response to traveling at light speed.
  • It’s easy to look up exactly where any person is at any given time.
  • New fitness devices track your movements and everything you eat automatically.

  • An alien planet outsources city planning by creating a complex, engrossing city-building videogame popular with humans.
  • A time traveler from centuries in the future fails in their attempt to impersonate a person of the twenty-first century. They enlist someone’s help to carry out a mission.
  • A virus can be transmitted from computers or other machines to humans with bionic upgrades.

  • A secret society of scientists labors to make medical discoveries and to save the planet, even though a religious fundamentalist government has outlawed their activities.
  • Medical researchers are attempting to bring people back to life after they’ve been dead for thirty minutes or even an hour and give them a full recovery. Their experimentation is unethical and/or leads to strange alterations to people’s brains.
  • Someone is shrunk to a tiny size to perform a life-saving or planet-saving procedure impossible for a machine or an average-sized human.

As much as I love reading and writing books, I’d definitely be interested in interacting with a virtual fantasy world. I’d also like the automatic fitness and mood trackers. I don’t write science fiction, but I’d love some of these to be real someday. Great prompts!

Hi Renea! Yeah, a few of these were wishful thinking. 🙂 Thanks for the kind words!

Hi, what a wonderful list! Thank you. I noticed that there are two #25’s listed so the list is actually 51. 🙂

Hahaha! Hey, I’m a writer, not a numbers gal. 😉 I re-numbered it so #51 is a bonus. Thanks, Laurie!

I like you list as well. “Bryn laughed as she posted her answer for miscounting her plots. Then the total number of characters in her post quickly appeared in her mind. “That’s never happened to me before.” as she smiled to herself. She started to get up to get a bottle of water. As she looked down pressed the keys to lock her computer screen, she quickly counted the pores on the back of her hand. “Wait a minute. What the heck is going on?”

Thanks for all the great sci-fi prompts, Bryn. 🙂 — Suzanne

Well written and interesting! You should check out my article on the physics of Black Holes: https://therealsciblog.wordpress.com/2018/06/20/black-holes/

“In a world where pain and suffering have been eliminated, people pay to experience a variety of negative sensations under safe and controlled circumstances.”

That was actually the plot of a Star Trek: Voyager episode (Random Thoughts) in the 1990s. The only exception is that the trade of negative sensations was illegal, and sanctioned by the government.

Hello! I love your ideas. But what if someone uses one of your story plots and publishes the book? Would you want credit?

I have a good plot. the idea itself has been forming and ripening in my mind for 15 years. can i share with you? if so, please contact me by this mail. [email protected]

Science fiction is not just about aliens, mermaids, time travel, and more. Here, you can also write about deep and philosophical stuff, and even tackle societal issues. For example, issues on technological advancement such as the possible takeover of robots and the impending destruction of the planet are commonly emphasized in numerous science fiction novels. These and all the other issues in the society today are tackled in length in science fiction because there is no better place to explore them than in this genre.

Fantastic Plot Ideas! Thanks for sharing. Science fiction stories often illustrate the social reality of the current times. These stories give us a clear picture of how the technologies of today are affecting our daily lives, particularly our interaction and connection with one another. These stories help us understand the things that make up our current reality.

Thankyou very much! I often write dilemma stories for my ethics class pupils to start or to complement a teaching unit. Fantasy and Science Fiction help us to talk to children even about explosive subjects. But I have less imagination as everyone thinks: Four or five ideas, and that´s it. So I just visited your collection to find more Ideas for my pupils. This was very helpful. Thanx in the name of the children.

Hi Cora! Ow wow, that is so cool! Your class sounds like so much fun. I’m so glad this was useful!

🤖 AI Sci-Fi Plot Generator

Unleash your imagination and embark on an epic journey through the cosmos! With our Sci-Fi Plot Generator, you’ll unlock endless possibilities and create stories that are truly out of this world—start your adventure today!

Embark on a stellar journey through the boundless realms of science fiction, where imagination fuels the creation of worlds beyond the ordinary and pioneers the exploration of the extraordinary. Here, each plot is a doorway to infinite possibility, where the laws of nature are rewritten and the frontiers of reality are stretched to their utmost limits.

What is a Sci-Fi Plot?

A sci-fi plot, which stands for science fiction plot, typically involves speculative concepts anchored in science and technology advancements, ultimately posing a “What If?” scenario in a setting that’s often futuristic or otherworldly. Unlike other genres that may center around emotional relationships or the complexities of the human condition, a sci-fi plot often explores the interaction between humanity and technology, delving into the philosophical and existential questions that arise from those interactions.

It’s a narrative space where robots can develop consciousness, space travel is commonplace, and the laws of physics can be stretched to the brink of imagination. At its core, a sci-fi plot is not just about the gadgets and sci-fi jargon, but rather about hypothesizing how these innovations might impact social, ethical, and personal aspects of life.

Why Use a Sci-Fi Plot Generator?

In a genre teeming with limitless possibilities, a science fiction plot generator can be an invaluable tool for writers and creative minds to break through writer’s block or to launch a brainstorming session. Even the most imaginative minds can sometimes find themselves at an impasse, seeking a novel idea or a unique twist that can set their work apart. The use of a sci-fi plot generator isn’t just about getting a new story idea; it’s about inspiring a whole new world of possibilities.

Here are several reasons why users should consider utilizing a sci-fi plot generator:

  • With an array of random but thought-provoking plot prompts, these generators force writers to think outside their comfort zones, leading to truly original and inventive narratives.
  • By providing unexpected combinations of characters, settings, conflicts, and themes, a generator can help writers overcome the dreaded block and regain their writing momentum.
  • This not only accelerates the development phase but also allows writers to quickly sift through concepts to find the one that resonates the most with them.
  • This pushes boundaries and expands the horizons of writers, potentially leading to groundbreaking stories that might not have been conceived otherwise.
  • By sharing generated prompts, writers can inspire each other, grow from each other’s creativity, and refine concepts together into polished, comprehensive story arcs.

Using a sci-fi plot generator is not a shortcut to bypass hard work and creativity; rather, it embodies a tool to jumpstart inspiration and guide imagination toward uncharted territories. It can serve as a catalyst, transforming a vague idea into a structured, extensive universe that readers can delve into.

How To Use This AI Generator:

  • Click “Save Generator” to create a reusable template for you and your team.

101 Epic Sci-Fi Story Prompts

science fiction essay generator

Do you want to write in the sci-fi genre but need help conjuring compelling stories and concepts? Sometimes reading simple genre prompts is the easiest way to get those creative juices flowing.

Read ScreenCraft's 7 Writing Workouts to Build Your Creative Muscles !

We get our ideas from many sources — news headlines, novels, television shows, movies, our lives, our fears, our phobias, etc. They can come from a scene or moment in a film that wasn’t fully explored. They can come from a single visual that entices the creative mind — a seed that continues to grow and grow until the writer is forced to finally put it to paper or screen.

In the spirit of helping writers find those seeds, here we offer 101 originally conceived sci-fi story prompts that you can use as inspiration for your next science fiction story.

They may inspire screenplays, novels, short stories, or even smaller moments that you can include in what stories you are already writing.

Note: Because we’re all connected to the same pop culture, news headlines, and inspirations, any similarity to any past, present, or future screenplays, novels, short stories, television pilots, television series, plays, or any other creative works is purely coincidence. These story writing prompts were conceived on the fly without any research or Google search for inspiration.

Sci Fi Writing Prompts: 105 Inspirational Ideas

Writing Tips ,

Sci fi writing prompts: 105 inspirational ideas.

N J Simmonds

By N J Simmonds

So, you want to write a sci fi novel but don’t know where to start…

If you’re a huge sci fi fan who has read all the books and watched all the movies, it may well feel like every idea has already been written.

It hasn’t!

The joy of being a writer is that YOU are writing the story, which means even the most unoriginal trope can be made unique and original because you have given it your own special twist. But you still need an idea.

In this article, I will be sharing tips on where to find sci-inspiration, and giving you 110 sci-fi ideas to use as a starting point for your own science fiction story. Yes, 110 FREE ideas!

What Is Sci Fi?

Many people mistake sci fi for fantasy, which is understandable. Both are full of things that don’t yet exist in real life.

The simplest way to define sci fi is to remember that although it is about something outside of our known reality – ie life on another planet or living among cyborgs – most sci fi stories are based on existing concepts; science and technology. Fantasy, on the other hand, is completely made up and often uses inexplicable concepts such as magic.

Although, you can mix sci fi with other genres.

Star Wars , for instance, is set in space but also includes a magical system – so it’s often described as sci fi fantasy. And you can have dystopian sci fi which shows our real world in the future and how our actions have caused it to change for the worse.

Science Fiction Story Ideas

When it comes to finding inspiration for your sci fi stories, ideas can be found absolutely anywhere. Here are just a few places where you can start looking:

  • Old newspaper articles
  • Current news
  • Scientific developments
  • Science and history museums and exhibitions
  • Environmental concerns
  • Animal and plant life (the more you know about mushrooms, for instance, the more you realise you wish you didn’t know)
  • Space travel
  • Planets and the solar system

Science Fiction Writing Prompts

If that’s not enough to get your imagination going, I’ve put together some one-line prompts for your writing.

These ideas are categorised by themes, and feel free to add your own twist or mix them up. The joy of writing sci fi is that there are no limits, so take your sci fi story to places no one has ever gone before. To infinity and beyond!

Let’s start with alien races and all the fun that theme can bring…

Alien Prompts

Aliens aren’t scary, in fact they are already living in our house. We just have to find them.

An alien planet looks to earth to save it. When it comes to ask for help it divides human kind between those who want to save them – and those who want to kill them.

A woman keeps seeing visions of an alien world. She thinks she’s going crazy, until she realises they are memories and she’s not human.

Every galaxy is destroyed and planet Earth becomes the prize that five alien races are fighting over.

A man with no womb finds himself pregnant. Is it a miracle? Or has he been implanted with an alien child?

A young girl has a special ability – she can communicate with other planets. But can she be trusted to tell scientists the truth?

An alien invasion is imminent and humans must come together to protect our planet. Can they put their differences aside forever and unite?

Archeologists discover an old relic buried deep in the desert. It’s an alien ship.

The pyramids are not what we thought they were – hieroglyphics are in fact an alien language, changing the course of history as we know it.

Scientists have been keeping a big secret; they have an alien in captivity that can reverse death. Who will it bring back first?

A planet called Earth has been discovered. Is it worth investigating? Or are humans best left to destroy themselves?

Environmental Disasters Prompts

The planet is getting hotter and some humans have evolved to withstand extreme temperatures. But how long until the world completely burns itself out?

Global warming melts all the ice caps and half the planet is about to drown. Will humanity survive the destruction or learn to adapt to a watery world?

After a giant nuclear war humans have been living in the earth’s core for five hundred years. It’s safe to go back up now, but how has the planet changed in that time? And what creatures are awaiting them?

Humans have cut down that last tree and are manufacturing oxygen in factories. But then the factories are destroyed. Is humanity about to take its last breath?

Animals and fish refuse to be eaten by humans anymore and begin to fight back.

We’ve been burying our waste for too long and now huge sink holes are appearing all over the world – some large enough to destroy entire cities!

Water is about to run out on Earth and the race is on to find another alternative… or another planet.

Volcanoes which have been dormant for centuries have started erupting, and, as if the lava and smoke they produce aren’t devastating enough, the creatures they’ve been concealing rise with them.

Outer Space Prompts

Crew members of a spaceship sent to explore a new planet discover that it’s exactly like earth. Except for one fundamental difference.

A distant planet is discovered that has oxygen and water, the only problem is that it also has monsters.

A space station full of scientists trying to save the planet is under attack by its own government which is benefitting financially from the destruction of the human race.

A spaceship travelling at light speed finds itself in a parallel universe where Earth is very different indeed.

A space pirate finds himself aboard a ship containing the one thing that may save humanity.

science-fiction-prompts

Science And Technology Prompts

It’s 3000 AD and humans survive solely on genetically modified food. Then one family learns to grow their first real tomato putting them in danger from the government, the media, and those who will do anything to get their hands on it.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, there are no human cops left. Yet the AI police force become sentient and realise they are the bad guys.

Some humans have started to grow wings and others have begun to breathe underwater. What is happening?

A scientist discovers a way for us to read the minds of dogs – and it turns out they weren’t man’s best friend after all!

A scientist clones his ex-girlfriend after she breaks up with him, leading to a series of hilarious but unfortunate events.

A hundred years after the invention of human flight, things start to go very wrong.

Time Travel Prompts

A time traveller from the year 2998 tries to warn those living in 1998 of what will happen if they continue to treat the planet badly. Do they listen? A Sliding Doors -type movie where we see the world in two ways.

What if we had the ability to swap lives with someone? Memories, bodies and souls? Would you do it?

Two people living in parallel universes fall in love. Except one is suffering from a serious mental illness. Is this real?

A teenage girl’s boyfriend goes missing. 15 years later she becomes a scientist and invents a way to go back in time and look for him.

A time traveller who has had a family with a woman from one hundred years ago must discover a way to bring them back to the future.

Dystopian Sci Fi Prompts

A woman never knew she has a twin sister – or that both of them were created in a lab. They set out to discover more people like them.

The last human being on Earth hasn’t seen another human in 12 years. But then he sees smoke coming out of the chimney of a hut in the woods.

A group of women escape prison, only to find themselves in a world made up of only men.

No one has died in sixteen years. How is the world going to survive if no one’s life can end?

A man tries to find his best friend in the aftermath of a nuclear war. But he doesn’t realise that the man is out to kill him.

One woman fights to protect her child in a world where every baby is brought up in a farm and trained to work for an evil government.

A fight is on to find the last survivors of Europe after the entire continent was destroyed.

The world is either ocean or desert, but one man and his gang believe they can find the lost city of Londonburgh – their only hope for survival.

Combine Well-Loved Sci Fi Stories With One Another

Agents, editors and film producers love to ask writers for a ‘comp’ – a comparison title to position your own work against. So why not start with a well-loved comp or two when coming up with your idea ?

Some of the most unlikely parings can make for the best ideas!

Alien and Children of Men : After years of no babies being born on Earth, a woman is finally pregnant. But it’s not human.

The Invisible Man and Men In Black : Special forces are sent out to find the invisible people living amongst us.

Independence Day and Attack the Block : Aliens are going to attack the Houses of Parliament, but only London’s street gangs can save them.

Planet of the Apes and The Abyss : Creatures from beneath the sea have evolved and have taken over the human race.

Ghost Busters and Donnie Darko : Humans are being haunted by the ghosts of people who are yet to die, visiting them from the future.

Godzilla and The Hunger Games : A group of children must fight for survival in a dystopian world full of giant monsters.

Frankenstein and Predator: A scientist creates a monster made up of all the bodies of notorious murderers – but the monster escapes! Who is hunting who?

The Fly and E.T : An alien hides in the basement of a family’s house. Except it’s not an alien – it’s their scientist father after an experiment went wrong. Will he be able to tell them before they kill him?

Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Robocop : A group of kids try to rescue aliens but it all backfires when it turns out they’re here from the future to arrest those who are about to commit a crime.

Jurassic Park and Back to the Future : A young man invents a time machine to mend his love life and discovers he’s gone back 5 million years instead of five!

Don’t Look Up and Alien . Experts warn the world that we are about to come under attack… but no one listens until it’s too late.

The Faculty and The Thing : A group of science students on a school trip to Alaska discover an alien presence, only to realise it’s been with them all along.

Romeo and Juliet and I-Robot . When a teenager falls in love with a cyborg, it creates a deadly battle between man and machine.

Science Fiction Fantasy Ideas

A secret society of scientists and mathematicians invent magic. But how long can they keep it a secret?

A scientist creates the world’s first flying unicorn, leading to an entire cast of fairytale creatures coming to life.

A wormhole leads a group of astronauts to a world full of magic.

A company starts to manufacture wands that can make any wish come true. The world is about to look very different!

Sci Fi Horror Prompts

A small town is invaded by what they believe are ants – until the tiny things start to grow into terrifying monsters.

An old lady on vacation takes a rare plant cutting from a holy site. After tending to it, the plant turns out to be something a lot scarier.

A family move into a haunted house and, one by one, they meet a gruesome death. Will the odd neighbour fix his ghost-hunting machine in time?

In this town nothing can be trusted – not people, not animals, and especially not household appliances.

A group of teenage girls discover a cave on a school trip. Inside that cave is a ship. Inside that ship is the answer to the salvation of the human race.

writing-prompts-for-science-fiction

Kid Lit Sci Fi Ideas

Scientists realise they were wrong about gravity – and now all the children are floating away.

Two children compete to win top prize at the science fair, unaware they have invented something that will change the world.

A plague is sweeping through the world that only affects those over the age of 18. It’s down to the children to save the human race.

Two teenagers in love are separated when, thanks to global warming, their country is split in two and slowly crumbling into the sea. Will they ever find one another again?

Eric can control electricity – and it’s not as much fun as he thought it would be.

A boy and his friend are told not to touch his scientist father’s new invention. But they do – leading to one very big disaster.

Other Fun Science Fiction Ideas

Write a story based on sci-fi-sounding songs:

  • The Killers – “Spaceman”
  • Blondie – “Rapture”
  • Flight of the Conchords – “The Humans Are Dead/Robots”
  • Elton John – “Rocket Man”
  • David Bowie – “Starman”

Think about a time in your own life, and give it a sci fi twist. ie What if, that time you found a stray dog… it was really a creature from out of space?

Look at old family photos. What would make them out of this world?

What if the inventions of the past had turned out a little differently? How would that look today?

Look at myths and legends and give them a scientific twist. How do they look now?

As yourself… What If?

  • Animals could talk?
  • The sun disappeared?
  • The moon was really a portal to another world?

  • All the countries in the world merged together?
  • All world leaders were aliens?
  • Schools became dystopian training camps?
  • Everyone developed a superpower when they turned 50?
  • Babies went straight from a year old to 21?
  • Humans could fly?
  • Animals swapped abilities?
  • Your parents were really robots?
  • Your pet was an alien?
  • Fish decided to grow legs?
  • Robots and aliens united to wipe out the human race?

Time To Get Writing!

After reading through all these ideas, you should now be inspired enough to go where no one has ever dared to tread before!

I hope you have found these 105 sci fi writing prompts and ideas useful for writing your next novel or short story. And remember, you don’t have to pick just one – why not combine two or three prompts and see where they take you?

Good luck with your next sci fi project. May the force be with you and the odds be forever in your favour!

42 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Writing Prompts

Science fiction and fantasy writing prompts

Science fiction and fantasy provide incredible opportunities to exercise your imagination. You are not limited to one planet, one advanced species, or the limited powers we have available to us. You can explore other worlds, races, technology and magic.

That said, good sci-fi and fantasy writing has many elements in common with writing from other genres – dynamic characters, an unpredictable yet convincing plot, world building and a myriad of other elements.

We've divided these 42 creative writing prompts into five sections to help you learn valuable skills and develop story ideas. Prompts are also a great way to help overcome writer’s block.

  • Science fiction story ideas
  • Sci-fi prompts
  • Fantasy story ideas
  • Fantasy prompts
  • Extra challenges
  • Science fantasy

Science Fiction Story Ideas

sci-fi garage in ancient jungle

  • Sci-fi garage Hidden in the Amazon Jungle you find an ancient garage jammed with rusty alien vehicles. A cyborg jerks slowly back to life and says, “Master, you have returned.”  
  • DNA murder mystery Memories can be extracted from an alien's DNA. You're about to see their last memory.  
  • The wet wormhole You receive a signal from aliens explaining how to create a wormhole to connect with them. The instant the wormhole’s opened, water starts pouring out of it. They’re an underwater species and you just created a wormhole to their capital city.  
  • Conflict with a clone A scientist clones their ex-girlfriend only to have their relationship problems appear all over again.  
  • Just a regular guy In a world of superheroes, your protagonist has an aura of normalcy around them. No superpowers work near them. They are about to enter the main bad guy’s lair.  
  • Pet pals It’s 2237. Animals have been genetically modified to have the same intelligence as humans, though they are still treated as pets. Now, they’ve taken over the world.  
  • The artificial intelligence dilemma A.I. has found out that we’re concerned they might take over the world. They’re considering a pre-emptive strike before we do something rash. Your job is to convince them otherwise.  
  • Alcoholic aliens You are an alien visiting Earth but become addicted to booze.

In addition to prompts, we have a great selection of creative writing games  that can be used solo or with a group.

Sci-Fi Writing Prompts to Develop Your Skill as an Author

Futuristic headset

While these science fiction writing prompts can be used to generate story ideas, they’re written with developing specific abilities as an author in mind.  

  • Sonar senses You’re blind and have been fitted with a sonar headset that helps you see. It tells you how far away everything is. You can see the shape of objects and faces, but can't tell if it's light or dark, or detect any colours. Describe what it's like to see the world using sonar.  
  • Conflict Having watched a bunch of masterclasses on creative fiction writing, all the authors say the more conflict you include, the better. Here's a prompt that covers two types of conflict. A spaceship is sending you a distress signal. Half the crew members want to go to the rescue but are scared it’s a trap (internal conflict); the other half want to ignore it due to other demands or simple laziness (external conflict). How do they resolve this disagreement?  
  • Time travel machine Writing dialogue can be a challenge. One way to make it more interesting is to combine speech with action. Write a discussion between two engineers as they put the finishing touches on a time travel machine.  
  • World building On an alien planet everything moves. Trees walk about, buildings crawl along wherever their whim takes them. Even mountains are unstable. What aliens have evolved there and what technology do they use?  
  • Colourful emotions You are injected with a drug which means every time you experience an emotion all the sensations are heightened. It alters your physical sensations and all 5 senses. Write a scene where you experience a strong emotion.  
  • Earth building To stop global warming, we spray the Earth with a chemical meant to increase cloud coverage. It goes wrong and the whole Earth is now covered in a fog so dense you can only see a few centimetres in front of you. Plan what happens over the next few years and how your protagonist specifically will cope.  
  • Cyborg shell It’s great to use a mixture of senses in your descriptions. You are fitted with an outer shell of a cyborg. What does it feel like while it’s being fitted? Or when you move? Or fight? Try to use all the senses – hearing, smell, taste, touch, sight and internal sensations.  
  • Romantic robots Long after humans have gone extinct, A.I. is living happily on. Robots often fall in love with each other. What are their relationships like?

Most books in all adult genres include an element of romance, so even when writing sci-fi it's worth asking yourself if having a romantic sub-plot would help develop your novel.  

Fantasy Story Ideas

Creative fantasy story ideas

These fantasy prompts act as story idea generators – whether for a short story, or a whole novel.

  • The magic book You open an enchanted book and are sucked into a fictional world. You find yourself in one of your favourite books, but in a geographic location you know nothing about.  
  • Feeling out of this world After heart surgery when you get emotional all kinds of weird things happen. It rains when you’re sad. Things catch fire when you’re angry. You’ve just started to have a panic attack.  
  • Just another day in the life Your parents are a goblin and an elf. Your adopted sister is an ogre. It’s breakfast time.  
  • The floating castle You are arrested and sent to the floating castle. Using your magical ability of turning invisible, how do you escape? Oh, the invisibility only works when you close your eyes.  
  • Sorcerous sisters Your twin sister just got chosen to join the witch’s coven. You have no magical talents, but really want to go. You hide the invite from her and go in her place.  
  • A haunting tale You’ve been trying to haunt your murderer for years, but they just put it down to weird coincidences. Now you’ve discovered how to get their attention.  
  • Hysterical history Your history teacher is interrupted from a long ramble about Europe in 1803 by a student who shouts that they’re wrong. They get into an argument and the student says, “I remember exactly what happened.” You’ve always suspected they were a vampire.  
  • Metaphysical movies Something odd'd been happening to you at night and every morning you wake to find exotic dust floating in the air. Last night, you filmed it for the first time. You’re about to watch the recording.

For a free in-depth course on writing fantasy from Brandon Sanderson, I highly recommend his free  Fantasy Writing course on YouTube .

Fantasy Prompts to Learn Creative Writing Techniques

Dragon Flight Meditation Ever wondered what it's like to fly on a dragon or even be one? If you have 15 minutes, I highly recommend the above dragon flight meditation. Enjoy!  

  • Enchanted emotions You are a wizard and are sampling potions which each give a different emotion. Describe how it feels when you drink from different bottles without naming the emotion itself.  
  • The king and the pauper You are a peasant and are begging a cruel king not to execute your husband. Spend ten minutes writing the scene from the peasant’s perspective, then rewrite the same scene from the king’s perspective.  
  • Cliffhangers R.L. Stine says that he tries to end as many chapters as possible with a cliffhanger. Write a scene which ends with two hobbits literally hanging off a cliff.  
  • Water magic Imagine that wizards arose today who could control the element of water – even water inside the body. How would they use it? How would the magic system work?  
  • Metaphorical monsters and slithering similes Metaphors and similes are where you compare one thing to another. In The Hobbit J.R.R. Tolkien uses these two similes to describe Smaug: Smaug lay with wings folded like an immeasurable bat... Smaug had left his lair in silent stealth… in the dark like a monstrous crow… Describe a monster using metaphors and similes. Ideally the things you compare the monster to should evoke feelings of awe or disgust. An “immeasurable bat” or “monstrous crow” works far better than a “giant eagle,” as this evokes a warmer emotion.  
  • Twisting of tropes Fantasy is full of popular tropes – the all-powerful wizard and his legion of followers, the nobody who turns out to be the chosen one, etc. See if you can think of a common fantasy trope and how you could subvert it. This is a great way to surprise readers and create a more original plot.  

Extra Challenging Prompts

Magic fictional book

The following prompts are particularly challenging as they require you to combine a lot of different writing techniques – world building, character development, plot creation and writing from an unusual perspective. When writing a novel if a scene can serve multiple purposes, then it will be all the richer for it. These prompts were written with that in mind.

  • The castle of fantasy In a world where magic is abundant and we can use it for anything, what magical features would your standard castle have? Write a scene where a princess is preparing to fly off on an adventure and include some of these features from her perspective – where see sees them everyday and they’re just normal to her.  
  • Sci-fi supermarket Two aliens try to grab the last Gazulomph from a space station’s supermarket shelf. What happens? See if you can create two different alien races, decide what a Gazulomph is, imagine what a supermarket in a space station might be like and create a conflict that mentions the sense of taste.  
  • Steampunk simulation You live in a steampunk virtual reality world and aren't sure you want to leave.  
  • Science meets art You are the first scientist to have an artificial intelligence art generator built into your brain. You can create masterpieces in minutes. One day, your hand starts painting an image that will reveal the future.  
  • Everyday time travel Time travel becomes common place and everyone gains the ability to pop between time zones on a regular basis. Explore your character's journey as causality disintegrates.

Science Fantasy

Beings made of cloud

The following prompts combine elements of both science fiction and fantasy.

  • Denizens of the deep A ship called  Metamorphosis  which researches lycanthropy sinks. You are the only lycanthrope (werewolf) that has gained the ability to shapechange into other animals. You must now swim into the depths of the ocean before chemicals spill that could have disastrous effects - mutating the wildlife in the ocean.  
  • Conjuring climate change A secret society of beings made of cloud come out of hiding to prevent global warming.  
  • The cursed cyborg An old crone cursed the android YRE1 so no human will ever trust them. Now they must fly to planet Aplixxa to lift the curse. Planet Aplixxa is the only planet in the galaxy where magic still exists.  
  • Secret shapeshifters The war between humans and the Gorrux has been waging for centuries. You live on a distant planet and are a shapeshifting human. You're on a spy mission and can't reveal your true form, otherwise the Gorrux will annihilate you.  
  • Magic machines A supercomputer discovers how to use magic.  
  • Stuck in this dimension An alternative version of you magically teleports to a post apocalyptic Earth and gets stranded there.  
  • An unlikely friendship Planet Domaadar has drifted away from its star for millennia. There is no light, but a blind aquatic race exist deep under its ocean. A magician who is drowning summons one and they form an unlikely friendship.

Helen Langford

Need Science Fiction writing inspiration? Here are 660 narrated writing prompts to help you launch your next Science Fiction writing endeavor. Using these story starters, you can craft your own Science Fiction universe from the ground up. These kinds of sci-fi stories can give readers a virtual escape – the kind of experience Science Fiction fans are expecting and craving. This video includes writing prompts from 33 Science Fiction subgenres including aliens, robots/A.I., space exploration, space opera, dystopia, steampunk, apocalyptic, cyberpunk, young adult, and more.

More than any other genre, Science Fiction writing requires a solid initial concept. Sci-fi is a popular genre that has covered a lot of ideas over the years, so it's important for writers to develop a fresh concept that has rarely been tried before. Our writing prompts can get you on the right track for unique storytelling, igniting your imagination in a direction that your readers will not anticipate but will appreciate.

While listening to this video, think about how you can take one of these concepts and make it your own. Combining ideas from writing prompts—like the ones in this video—with your own personal experience can be a great way to develop a story that resonates with your audience.

By the way, you don't have to credit us for any of these ideas, but it would be much appreciated if you do! A simple link to our website, ServiceScape.com, is the best way to do that.
