30 "TRUE COZY" 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 "TRUE COZY" Cozy Fantasy Writing Prompts - June 2025 - A 30 Day Writing Challenge For Lovers of Warm Fuzzy Slice of Life Tales:

Queer-Positive • Conflict-Free • Domestic & Gentle • Slice of Life for Adults

Each prompt features:

  • No external threat
  • No interpersonal conflict
  • Soft, lived-in worldbuilding
  • Queer-friendly multi-character households
  • Emotional comfort, domestic joy, and safe intimacy
  • Your character rises before the sun to start bread for the day.
    Their partner prepares herbs for tea. Another stirs honey into butter. The house hums softly as they work in silence together, hands brushing now and then. Breakfast becomes its own kind of ceremony.
  • A travelling wool merchant arrives with a bolt of dyed cloth in just the right shade.
    Your character has waited three years to find this exact colour. Their spouse insists they make something for themselves for once. They spend the evening sewing while their partner reads aloud.
  • The trio celebrates the 200th anniversary of the day they met.
    No big party, just the three of them and a pot of soup, talking about how their lives slowly braided together over the decades. They fall asleep holding hands, grateful for the life they built.
  • A long-closed tearoom reopens, and the three decide to visit for old times’ sake.
    The teahouse hasn’t changed at all. Neither have they. They order the same blend they always shared and sit in the same spot by the window, quietly watching the rain.
  • The orchard trees are ready to be pruned.
    One holds the ladder. One picks the fruit. One sings to the trees. They all go home with aching shoulders and a basket of apples, already planning the pies.
  • Your character tends to a sick lover who caught a chill in the early spring fog.
    No drama. Just warm broth, soft cloths, and gentle kisses on fevered foreheads. The third partner reads old storybooks aloud, and they fall asleep piled together by the hearth.
  • A moss-covered library hidden in the forest opens once a decade.
    They bring a picnic and spend the whole day in silence, reading beside each other under glowing willow lamps, sharing notes and holding hands across dusty pages.
  • A lunar eclipse brings out the fireflies in the glade.
    The trio sits under heavy cloaks and sips warm berry cordial, watching the sky change. They tell stories of eclipses past, and no one notices when they start speaking in verse.
  • The youngest of the group finally finishes carving their first wand.
    The others surprise them with a quiet celebration—herb cake, sweet wine, hand-embroidered gloves. They cry softly and hold each other while the fire crackles.
  • Your character finds a forgotten journal from when their lovers first moved in.
    It’s filled with recipes, garden notes, and the occasional doodle. They spend the evening recreating one of the old meals, smiling at how far they’ve come.
  • They all wake up before dawn for a meteor shower.
    Wrapped in blankets, their breath misting the air, they sip steaming spiced milk and lean against one another as the stars fall silently overhead.
  • A local child asks if they can help in the garden.
    The three adults quietly accept the offer, guiding gentle hands through the dirt. When the child’s parent comes to collect them, they’re gifted with the first strawberry of the season.
  • A rare flower blooms once every hundred years—and this is the night.
    They pack lanterns and pastries and make the slow walk to the cliff-side. They sit in silence as the petals open, each thinking their own thoughts, content together.
  • Their cat gives birth under the kitchen table.
    No one panics. They quietly make space, clean towels, and soft milk for the mother. The newborn kittens squeak softly as the trio watches with reverence.
  • A neighbor drops off far too many plums.
    They turn it into a spontaneous jam-making weekend. Sugar, spice, laughter, and sticky fingers fill the kitchen as memories are preserved in more ways than one.
  • One partner discovers their favorite song playing on an old music crystal.
    The others pull them into a gentle dance. The room is too small, the rhythm is off, but the closeness is perfect.
  • A snowstorm cuts them off from the village.
    They spend the days knitting, the nights cooking elaborate dinners, and every hour savoring the silence only deep snow brings.
  • The bees return early this year.
    One partner coaxes them into the new hives while the others prepare the jars and infusions. The buzz of life feels like a song they’ve always known.
  • They host a story circle for old friends.
    No one tells dramatic epics—just simple tales of fishing, baking, falling in love. Your character listens with a full cup and a fuller heart.
  • A letter arrives, written decades ago and delayed by enchanted post.
    It contains a love confession from a long-gone friend. They spend the evening reminiscing, grateful they had already found their forever.
  • They decide to repaint the kitchen together.
    It takes all day. They get paint in their hair. The walls end up uneven. No one minds. The mess becomes part of the memory.
  • The town’s annual Lantern Night begins.
    They spend hours writing quiet hopes onto slips of paper, folding them into floating candles, and sending them downriver with the others.
  • An old walking trail has become overgrown.
    They spend the day clearing it gently, not to change the land, but to walk it again. They find mushrooms, wild violets, and one another’s hands.
  • One morning, all the clocks in the cottage stop at the same moment.
    They decide to treat it as a sign: no work, no errands, no tasks. Just tea, stories, long naps, and watching the clouds.
  • A rare constellation returns, only visible once in a generation.
    They pack a midnight picnic, lie on the grass, and point out stars they named together when they were younger.
  • Your character spends the afternoon sewing patches into the quilt they all share.
    Each patch has meaning. Each stitch carries memory. By nightfall, the blanket is warmer than before.
  • The first frost comes.
    They gather what’s left of the garden, hang herbs, bake squash, and tuck the land in for winter. That night, the hearth fire never goes out.
  • A forgotten melody returns to one partner in a dream.
    They hum it quietly. The others join in. Without realizing it, they’ve begun to compose something old and new at once.
  • Your character surprises their lovers with a new recipe: hot spiced milk, sea salt cake, and wild thyme jam.
    It’s an instant favourite, and they decide to name it after their home.
  • It rains for days.
    They stay in, read books aloud, re-braid each other’s hair, and write little poems for one another on scraps of parchment left on pillows.

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.
