Prompt: So Long, Farewell

TGIF! Drumroll, please: welcome to the final week of the first-ever Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang. We’ve had an incredible round, full of fun, friendship, and fanworks, and participants have collectively created over one hundred works! Let’s keep the spark alive in these last few days with two more prompts. Give one a whirl, try both, or mix it up and blend them. Write a fic, make art, or try something totally new! Check out our FAQ for inspiration.

How do people outside the Ted Lasso gang perceive the goings-on at AFC Richmond? Create with that external perspective in mind.

AND/OR:

Use the lyrics from a favourite song as inspiration for a work.

Feel free to brainstorm, discuss ideas, and make friends in our Discord, or let us know what you’re cooking up in the comments here or on tumblr. As always, we’re excited to see what you create. Stay curious!

Prompt: Two-For-One Special

Put your fins together for week seven of Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang! We've had another week of fic, fun, fandom, and goldfish. How about another prompt to keep things fresh? Actually, how about two? Give one a whirl, try both, or mix it up and blend them!

Focus on a minor character. You know, a character who doesn’t get much love, or somebody who shows up for only an episode or two, or a background character. Who are they? What are they like? Why do you feel connected to them? Get nitty-gritty.

AND/OR:

Epistolary. Create a work in the medium of correspondence; a fic written in letters or emails, for example, or a manipulated text chain. Social media AUs work too.

Feel free to brainstorm, discuss ideas, and make friends in our Discord, or let us know what you’re cooking up in the comments here or on tumblr. We’re excited to see what you create this time. Stay curious!

Prompt: Buddy System

It's Friday, fall in love! Welcome to week six of Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang. Let's keep it fresh, fun, and friendly with another prompt:

Collaborate with another creative. Utilize our channel for locating betas and find somebody who wants to work together. A round-robin fic might be fun, but don’t be dissuaded from collaborating in other mediums, too; perhaps a collectively-created web weave or playlist. Buddy system!

Prompt: Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Week four and we're feeling just fine! We've had another great week of Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang. How about a prompt to keep things interesting?

Get out of your comfort zone. Explore the opposite of your usual jam; fluff writers, try angst. Colourful gifmakers, give moody, black and white, or subdued panels a whirl. Go against the grain.

Prompt: Alternate Universes

TGIF! Welcome to week three of Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang. We’ve had a great couple weeks thus far. Let’s keep that energy with another prompt:

Work in an alternate universe. How would characters from Ted Lasso function as pirates, or in the zombie apocalypse, or as ghost hunters? Any AU will do, though please remember we do not allow crossovers in this event.
