30 Cozy Fantasy Writing Prompts, Queer Throuples/Polycules Slice of Life Edition - 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 specifically aimed at adult readers looking for:

  • Queer-positive, emotionally intimate dynamics
  • Domestic-focused romance
  • Throuples/polycules, soft jealousy, loyalty themes
  • Gentle conflict with relationship and daily life stakes
  • Non-Human characters: Demons, Elves, Faeries, Satyrs, etc.
  • Slice of Life settings: market days, home repairs, caregiving, herbalism, etc.
  • Quiet, magical worlds that feel lived-in, not sanitized
  • Your main character returns from foraging to find their two partners arguing over how to rearrange the herb jars.
    The fight isn’t serious, but tensions simmer—both want to please the other, but neither can compromise. Your character suggests they cook dinner together instead, using one ingredient from each jar. As the food simmers, so does their peace.
  • After weeks of winter storms, the trio finally gets a dry day to clean the moss-covered roof.
    One is afraid of heights. One overdoes it trying to impress the others. They all end up tangled in each other and laughing under falling petals as spring quietly arrives.
  • Your character’s lover receives a mysterious letter from an ex they haven’t seen in a hundred years.
    Instead of reacting with jealousy, your character invites them all to tea. The conversation turns bittersweet, and by the end of the evening, they’ve all agreed to go mushroom hunting together, just like old times.
  • One partner has been sleepwalking and sleep-casting—accidentally animating the furniture.
    They’re exhausted. Your character decides to stay up and keep them company, while the third partner tries lullabies, charms, and warm bread until finally, sleep returns to the house.
  • A long day of market errands ends with the trio discovering only one bath bomb left.
    The solution? All three squeeze into the oversized clawfoot tub anyway. Steam fogs the mirror while secrets and soft touches surface between sips of wine.
  • The trio hosts a tiny, awkward feast for a surly, recently-exiled nature spirit.
    They’re not sure if it’s supposed to be diplomacy or pity. But something shifts when the spirit tastes a familiar pie. Their gruff shell cracks, and they cry quietly while your character rubs their back.
  • Your character gets caught in a rainstorm while picking night herbs.
    One partner comes running with a cloak. The other stays behind to dry the hearth and prepare hot tea. When the three reunite, soaking wet and shivering, they quietly fall asleep in a blanket pile.
  • The new neighbour is an Incubus running a honey stand.
    They flirt with one of your character’s lovers—openly, boldly, and beautifully. Your character is curious, not jealous. Over time, all three invite the Incubus over… for gardening.
  • A beloved elderly Faerie who raised your character passes away.
    Your partners support your character through mourning—one with cooking, the other with long, wordless walks through the forest. They spread the ashes in a moonlit glen, with lanterns and lullabies.
  • Your trio decides to open a tiny seasonal tea house in the woods.
    There are no customers for weeks. But that’s fine. They spend the time slow-dancing on the porch, testing cookie recipes, and inventing house rules like “no shoes and no secrets.”
  • A trickster god leaves a baby on your character’s doorstep.
    The note says: “You three were the gentlest I could find.”
    Now your characters must figure out how to raise a demi-divine toddler with wings, fangs, and a love for setting curtains on fire.
  • One partner brings home a rescue beast—a massive, dragon-scaled creature with a nervous tail.
    It’s terrified of the other two. Your character leads the effort to gain its trust, finding quiet healing in the routine of feeding, brushing, and lullabying it to sleep.
  • Your character loses their voice due to magical pollen.
    Their lovers have to communicate through gestures and shared history. The silence becomes a gentle game, revealing just how well they know one another.
  • A firefly festival leads to a sudden love confession—from a quiet friend who had long admired the trio.
    Your characters must decide: turn them away, or open the circle and begin again with four?
  • One of your characters falls into a seasonal depression and stops getting out of bed.
    The other two gently rearrange life around them—bringing meals, working quietly beside them, and telling slow stories until they’re ready to get up again.
  • Your trio rents a cabin by a glacier-fed lake for the solstice.
    The only problem? The cabin is cursed to show visitors their “truest longing.”
    Each room reveals a slightly different future… and none are the same.
  • Your character secretly writes love letters to both of their lovers—but never sends them.
    One day the wind spirit steals the stack and reads them aloud at dinner.
  • They try to make fresh gnocchi for the first time.
    It goes horribly wrong.
    They end up covered in flour, laughing, with half the meal burned—and a new house tradition born.
  • One lover wants to elope. The other wants a public ceremony. Your character wants something private but sacred.
    The compromise? A midnight ritual under the full moon, barefoot in the dew, with a witness who is neither mortal nor divine—but both.
  • A magical illness causes one partner to uncontrollably shapeshift when anxious.
    They hide in shame. The others seek to help, not cure. Together, they design outfits, routines, and self-soothing rituals to honour every form they take.
  • Your character gets caught watching one partner sleep—and the other catches them doing it.
    Instead of embarrassment, it turns into a quiet three-way confession about the things they each notice when the others are unguarded.
  • They all get turned into frogs for a day.
    Turns out frog-life is... cozy.
    The curse is lifted at midnight, but now they can’t stop missing the pond naps and bug hunting.
  • One character's ex comes to visit and casually drops that they’re technically still married.
    The trio has to unpack old ties, lingering attachments, and what it really means to be chosen family.
  • They try a new slow-magic ritual to sync their dreams.
    It works… too well.
    They all wake up remembering the same shared dream, where one of them died. Processing that over tea becomes its own kind of intimacy.
  • A stray wind deity gets caught in your herb garden.
    They’re shy, soft-spoken, and slowly bond with the quietest member of your trio. Soon, the winds blow gentler around your cottage.
  • One partner suddenly stops sleeping.
    They claim they're being visited by a dead former lover in dreams. Your character must choose whether to believe, or intervene.
  • They all wake up to find the world frozen in time—except for them.
    At first it’s frightening. Then oddly freeing. They spend the day baking, dancing, making love, talking for hours…
    When time resumes, nothing has changed—but they have.
  • A village elder insists that your character and their lovers are cursed and unnatural.
    The elder demands they leave.
    The villagers don’t agree—and throw the trio a picnic instead.
  • Your character grows a new strain of dreamflower.
    It causes vivid dreams of past lovers, lost places, roads never taken.
    Their lovers ask for petals… and begin dreaming, too.
  • On the longest night of winter, the trio gathers to tell each other one thing they’ve never dared speak aloud.
    One tells a truth.
    One tells a fear.
    One tells a vow.
    And morning comes.

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.
