  I understand that some people are new to this and don't know how it all works. It goes a little something like this:

  You write a post I read the post I use the post as fuel for a flash fiction.

  Not much to fret about, right?

  Except...

  I really prefer it when the prompt is in the content of the prompt thread, and not the title.

  So can you all please make sure the prompt is not the title? It makes all things way easier for me.

  Likewise, it's preferable to have one post per prompt. Do not reply to a post with another prompt, please.

  Also... you don't need to tell me to have fun with a prompt. I always have fun. Telling me is just superfluous.

  A couple who have no recollection of how they got there find themselves in a lethally dangerous environment where every creature and several of the plants seem to be trying to kill them. Being religious, they realize they are lost souls and this must be hell.

  Then the search party finds them. They were vacationing in Australia and had wandered off after someone gave them roofies.

  But what happened in between that would make and amnesiac tourist decide that they were just in the eternal pit>

  Fan fiction, some of it heartbreakingly brilliant, some of it so badly written you wonder if they ever even saw the original series, But glued to their devices they tap out their alliegance to people or beings who are imaginary.

  Sandwiched between cardboard, or up-market leather they colour or lives, change the way we see the world, and of course they never age. Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, James Bond, Mr Darcy, Alice, Tom Sawyer.

  They are quite real to us these lines coloured in sometimes, they've been with us since we first met them, and they seem 'real'. Comics, graphic novels, the funny pages. Knitnan.

  My son now has a five year old daughter. He referred to her as 'Princess' and I had to tease him. "What are her duties as a Princess? Does she negotiate treaties between her dolls and her teddy bears? Does she preside over public events? Does she have any input on new legislation?"

  It backfired. Now she DOES negotiate treaties among her stuffed critters.
