Soap Opera

October 2020 SWG challenge Soap Opera banner with a soap bubble against a green background

This month's challenge features a prompt generator using stock characters, common plot scenarios, settings, and episode types that are frequently featured in soap operas. Your fanwork does not have to be a soap opera, and you can use one, two, three, or all four prompt generator categories in any combination you want. Also remember that we do not monitor the prompt generator, so feel free to roll until you get a combination that inspires you.

(Friendly hint from your mods: We do not know how many times you "roll" the prompt generator, so if you get a dud on your first roll, feel free to roll again … and again … and again … till you get a prompt you like.)
