🍄 30 Cozy Fantasy Writing Prompts 🍵 - June 2025 - A 30 Day Writing Challenge For Lovers of Warm Fuzzy Slice of Life Tales



By Wendy C Allen

I like making writing prompts, to use when writing my Quaraun series, and I figured I'd share them in case anyone wanted to join me in writing cozy fantasy stories from prompts.

I tend to write a short story a day and a so I a lot of writing prompts each month. 

I love writing prompts and writing challenges, and I love creating them as much as I love writing stories from them.

Today I got to thinking, May 2025 is almost over, and it’s generally best to start a writing challenge at the beginning of the month, so why not let’s make one for June? Now, should you run across this after June 2025, don’t let that stop you from doing it. You can start it any time. The date is not important. The date is just here mostly so I can organize my pages and find them again.

I’m creating this with my own Dark & Cozy Fantasy Gothic Romance series in mind, so I’ll be doing it for shot stories and novellas, in the range of 100 word drabbles, 500 word microfiction, 1k to 2k words flash fiction, 3k to 5k word short stories, 10k to 20k words novelette/novellas.

  • Stuff over 5k and under 20k words I’ll likely post on GumRoad.
  • Stuff over 20k words I’ll likely put on Amazon KDP. 

While I often do these 30 day writing challenges straight through, writing a new story every day, I also just as often do not do these 30 day challenge straight through, 30 days in a row.

Usually I start several 30 day challenges and do one prompt from each list, each week. So, likely instead of 30 days, it’ll probably be 30 weeks once a week, instead of one a day, before I do them all.

If you want to join in, there are no requirements. You can do one a day, one a week, pick only a few to do, do them all, use them for fiction or nonfiction, short form or long form, drabbles or novels. There are no required tags or sign-ups or email opt-ins or things like needing to post comments to ask to join or link to your work or whatever. I know most writing challenges require that sort of stuff and it always annoys me to have to log in to their private discord group or whatever to be allowed to see the prompts. I just hate having to give an email address to download the prompts, yadda, yadda, yadda... so part of why I just set out to make my own writing prompts was so that I could just do a writing prompt challenge without all the signup joining a group rigmarole... I know if it's annoying me it's gotta be annoying you guys too, right?

How I do the one word challenges, is I use the random word of the day as the title, then grab my main character, and write a story about him that somehow fits that one word title. So, for example Day 1 is “whisper”. I would call the story “Whisper” and write something, about Quaraun, related to whispers.

  • Maybe he hears a ghost whispering to him in a haunted out? 
  • And then with no plot, no problem, just write by the seat of my pants, to see what happens next. 
  • You can do this as well with your own characters, or you can do something different. There's no need for you to do it the same way I do.
  • The only requirement here is to be inspired by the word of the day and write something.

And for longer writing prompts, where I've got a full sentence or maybe a paragraph to work with, I do the same thing, but just, you know longer.

Most often I do the Park Bench Method of sitting my character on a park bench, or some other seat as is appropriate to the prompt, and just start writing down everything he sees or hears or tastes or smells, and then start working out from there, like vine branches wriggling outward, scooping up parts of the prompt and working it it.

And you don't have to stick EXACTLY to the prompt. You can change the prompt up to better fit your characters if need be. Like if it says "your character and his spouse" but your character is not married, well, alter it to "your character and his best friend" or maybe you want it to be "your character and his pet dragon", then do that. The goal is to help you get started in writing YOUR story. 

I don't want to box you in and say you can ONLY write this or you can ONLY write that. I want to give you a starting point for when you have writer's block and need help to just get started. The idea is to grab a writing prompt and let it inspire you, even if you don't end up following the prompt.

Plus whiles it's supposed to be Cozy Fantasy, you can change the genre. Maybe you want to write Dark Fantasy instead or Gothic Horror instead. That's all fine. I wrote these as Cozy Fantasy, because it fits with the stuff I've been writing lately, but you can alter them to be whatever genre you want to write.

Of course, I’m doing this for a series, so all my stories will have the same three main characters (Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn) in the same setting (40th century far future Maine after the rise of The New Ice Age), and there is a high possibility, that all 30 stories I personal write for these, will continue one into the next, and I end up at the end of the challenge rewriting them into chapters of a single novel instead of 30 short stories (I’ve done that before). 

I mention this, in case any of you here reading this, also write a series, and were wondering if you had to write 30 stand alone shorts or if you could write 30 chapters of a novel instead-the answer is yes, you can. If you want to use these as prompts for 30 chapters of a novel, instead of 30 short stories, you can do that too.

My purpose here is not to restrict you and force you to write a style you are not used to. Rather, my goal is to help you to have more freedom to write, by allowing you to have lots of options with this challenge. So, have fun.

Here is the list of 🍄 30 Cozy Fantasy Writing Prompts 🍵 - June 2025 - A 30 Day Writing Challenge For Lovers of Warm Fuzzy Slice of Life Tales:

  • A storm ruins the village's annual lantern festival.
    Your main character and their partner spend the day helping the villagers rebuild decorations from whatever they can find in the wreckage. As the sky clears, they discover a forgotten magical tradition buried under the mud. The lanterns are lit with glowing moss, and the celebration is saved—with a new legend born.
  • A bakery’s sourdough starter is mysteriously cursed.
    Every loaf baked with it causes dreams of ancient memories. The baker and your character try to trace the origin of the starter, leading to a forgotten bread mage's tomb beneath the flour mill. They lift the enchantment with a sweetroll offering and leave a new starter in its place.
  • A travelling merchant collapses in the village square, speaking in riddles.
    Your character invites them in, offering tea and a safe place to rest. As they recover, the merchant’s riddles slowly unravel into a forgotten prophecy. The story ends with the merchant vanishing in the night, leaving behind a strange seed and a thank-you note carved in wood.
  • The mushrooms in the garden begin whispering advice.
    Only your main character can hear them, and the advice is always eerily accurate. Others think they’ve gone mad, until one of the mushrooms warns of a flood. After saving the village, the mushrooms go quiet, but one begins to hum.
  • A beloved old tree falls in the forest after a heavy snow.
    The villagers mourn it like a friend. Your character and their companion decide to carve a small shrine from the fallen trunk. Strange woodland spirits begin visiting at night, leaving tiny gifts in return.
  • An enchanted kettle starts boiling whenever someone lies.
    It ruins every tea party and gossip session in the village. Frustrated, your character sets out to find its creator. The creator reveals it was a test of honesty—and gifts your character a kettle that reveals truth in dreams instead.
  • Every pet in the village runs away to a single cabin in the woods.
    Your character follows them and discovers an ancient being awakening from hibernation—lonely and needing comfort. The pets had sensed it needed warmth. Together, your character and the creature host a cuddle-and-cookie night for every animal in town.
  • A letter arrives addressed to no one, in no known language.
    Your character becomes obsessed with translating it. With help from local scholars, villagers, and a ghost in the attic, they uncover a lost dialect that turns out to be written by the land itself. It's a love letter to the people who care for it.
  • The moon disappears from the sky.
    No one seems to notice but your character, who realizes a local mirror-maker has been collecting moonlight for years. They confront the artisan, who gives it back—but not before asking your character to help forge a final mirror that lets the moon see itself.
  • The town's only bridge refuses to let people cross until they tell it a story.
    The stories must be original, heartfelt, and true. Some villagers get creative. Your character, too shy to speak, carves their story into a piece of driftwood—and the bridge sings in reply.
  • A child plants candy instead of seeds. It grows.
    Curious and a little worried, your character investigates. The soil turns out to be fertile with leftover magic from an old candy-mage war. The crops are unstable but delicious, and your character helps the child learn to cook safe enchanted treats.
  • A tea shop opens that no one remembers building.
    Your character visits out of curiosity. Inside, time seems to pause, and they share tea with someone they thought long dead. When they leave, they find a letter in their pocket they don’t remember writing.
  • Books begin rearranging themselves in the town library.
    At first, it's subtle. Then they start forming poetry. Your character works with the librarian to decipher the messages—it’s the soul of the library, lonely, asking to be read more often. They throw a reading party in its honour.
  • Your character finds a door in their cottage where no door ever was.
    It opens only on moonless nights and leads to a garden of glass flowers. Something is trapped there, waiting for a story to be told. By telling it, your character frees an old soul who turns into a shooting star.
  • A tea leaf reader loses their sight—but gains the ability to hear plants speak.
    They hire your character to take notes. Together, they travel garden to garden, eavesdropping on what herbs and weeds say about their humans. One particular rose bush reveals a buried family secret.
  • A raincloud falls in love with your character and won’t stop following them.
    They can’t go anywhere dry, and the town is beginning to flood. Eventually, they find a way to introduce the cloud to a lonely mountain. The cloud leaves, and gentle rains begin to fall on the mountain forevermore.
  • An innkeeper begins charging dreams instead of coin.
    Curious, your character books a night. They wake with a hole in their memory—but also a new skill they never learned. They must decide whether to trade more memories… or try to get theirs back.
  • All the apples in the orchard ripen to show faces.
    Some are smiling. Some are not. Your character uncovers a hidden orchard within the orchard—a memorial grown from the bones of old villagers. They hold a harvest feast in their honour.
  • The village well grants a wish—but only if the wish is whispered by someone else.
    Your character makes a wish for a friend, who makes one for them. Magic ensues, but the well demands balance. They must work together to undo each other's unintended chaos.
  • A music box is found buried in a snowdrift.
    Winding it causes soft snowfall even in summer. But playing it too often causes memories to fade. Your character uses it once to bring peace to a dying elder, then buries it again.
  • A ghost begins haunting the bakery—but only eats the burnt pastries.
    Your character befriends it, learning it was once the village’s worst cook. They bake together, and on the ghost’s birthday, their cake turns out perfect. The ghost passes on with a full stomach.
  • A travelling theatre troupe puts on a show that exactly mirrors a villager’s secret past.
    Whispers begin to rise. Your character mediates the fallout and helps the troupe understand the damage they nearly caused. The troupe agrees to perform a new story—one written by the villagers together.
  • The town’s scarecrow goes missing, and the crows begin organizing.
    They start holding debates, nesting in the mayor’s chimney, and demanding votes. Your character learns the scarecrow left to study law. They broker a peace between birds and village with oat offerings and shiny gifts.
  • Snowfall brings memories of a lost sibling your character has never met.
    A local time-stitcher claims the sibling exists in a parallel world. Your character writes them a letter—and receives one back.
  • The river sings lullabies that make everyone sleepwalk.
    The village is unnerved. Your character follows the river upstream and finds a water elemental with a broken harp. Fixing it returns peace, but now the river sings only when asked.
  • A crystal grows overnight in the middle of the herb garden.
    Anything cooked near it becomes food for dreams. Some villagers have nightmares, others revelations. Your character builds a dream kitchen—inviting only those who are willing to face their truths.
  • A house appears with no door, but one open window.
    Everyone is afraid to go in. Your character climbs through and finds it filled with forgotten family heirlooms from across the town. Each item is returned to its rightful owner, and the house crumbles into a field of wildflowers.
  • A young dragon begins attending the local school.
    It’s awkward, destructive, and very lonely. Your character is asked to be their tutor. In time, they bond over storytelling and help the dragon find their place in a non-scaly world.
  • The town clock strikes thirteen—but only your character hears it.
    It leads them into a hidden attic of time itself, where every villager’s hourglass is stored. One is nearly empty. They must decide whether to rewind it—and change the fate of someone they love.
  • Someone opens a travelling pie cart that only appears in the dreams of the lonely.
    Your character wakes with crumbs on their pillow. They follow the scent through the village and find the baker, a retired mage trying to give back joy. They’re invited to apprentice and learn dream-baking.

As I said, I created this for use with my own series, The Adventures of Quaraun The Insane💟🌸🦄 Cozy Short Slice of Life Dark Fantasy Furry Bara Yaoi Stories ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗♂️ ♂️ ♂️ and so these are designed for use in fiction short stories.

But, you can use them for other genres, non-fiction, blog posts, poetry, or longer works like novellas. I may use some of these for novellas.

Hope these help you out, enjoy!

What Is This Site?

I'm an author. This is an author home page. It's about me, my life, my books, my hobbies, my home town, and anything else that applies to me and my life. 

Since starting my writing career in 1978, I have written 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, 6,000+ non-fiction articles (ALL are found on this site), a few dozen stage plays, 12,000+ blog posts, and a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck (I only worked for Disney one year (in 2005) and only wrote a few stories for their Danish comic books).

NOTE: I ONLY write the Quaraun series (aka The Twighlight Manor series aka The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane). In recent years there has been an issue with impersonators trying to pass books off as written by me, notably several non-fiction and Erotica books. I write neither nonfiction nor Erotica.

ALL of my books and their cover arts are listed on my website here. Beware of any books you find claiming to be me. If the books are NOT listed here on my website, they are NOT my books.

In fiction works, I specialize in Weird/Bizarro Tales set in 40th century CyberPunk-Quasi Medieval, Cozy Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds featuring an intersex Elf and his Faerie husband main characters.  I DO NOT WRITE ANY OTHER SERIES - THIS SERIES IS THE ONLY ONE I WRITE.

Non-fiction (found ONLY here on my site) is daily updates of events in my life, and how-tos on how I write my novels.

I DO NOT write Erotica.

I DO NOT write books with HUMAN characters.

The Erotica books and books with Human characters, that you are finding, are written by scammers trying to impersonate me.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter. If you find any such books, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

The FBI believes the people behind the impersonation accounts showing up, are relatives of the woman who murdered my son.

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

And I'm sick of real estate agents who are too incompetent to research land ownership before they show up to stick a for sale sign in my yard.

The fact of the matter is, my son was murdered in 2013, and the friends and family of the murderer think it is funny to keep ILLEGALLY listing my land for sale, because apparently their child murdering bitch friend didn't hurt me enough by crippling me with a golf club, ripping my baby out of my 8 month pregnant belly and beating his brains out on the ground with a golf club.

Also, her friends and family like to gaslight me by doxing me on ufo and alien abduction forums, while pretending to be me, and trying to make it look like I believe in ufos or aliens, even though I think people who believe in ufos are raving lunatics and people who claim to be alien abductees are crazy. 

Worse, they've also taken to harassing my WW2 vet homeless friend, by calling HIM an alien, demon, or cryptid and sending alien crazy ufo nutjobs at try to "catch him".

So, yeah, my son was murdered and the murder's friends and family endlessly harass me, my friends, and my family both online and offline, and I'm not happy with it at all.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter.

The FBI is looking for information into:

  1. identifying my son's murderer, 
  2. identifying the scammers who listed my land for sale, 
  3. identifying the impersonators who pretend to be me both online and offline, 
  4. the harassers who are harassing the homeless man and sending the UFO nuts to harass him... 
  • If ANYONE tells you 146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach, Maine is for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322
  • If ANYONE tells you I believe in aliens, demons, or UFOS, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322
  • If ANYONE tells you my homeless friend is an alien, a demon, a cryptid, or named Etiole for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322


I'm going to repeat it because I'm tired of people showing up and making offers:

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.
