Default IC BOOK: Share your own Unsolved Mystery

Write about your own Unsolved Mystery.


From time to time, we will expand our monthly theme to an 'in character' prompt, which should be written from the perspective of any character you play, whether on SS or elsewhere (HP world specific). If enough responses are received, these prompts will be gathered into an IC book that is considered published and canon in our SSRPG - which could make your character a published author in their own right!

This month's prompt is to write about and explore an unsolved mystery in the life of your character. What is something that has haunted them since the moment it happened? What strange occurrence won't leave them alone, no matter how much they try to rationalize it? What have they done to resolve it, or are they able to resolve it? How have they found any peace with this mystery?

A few reminders:
  • This short story/ficlet should be written in FIRST PERSON, which means you should use I/we from the viewpoint of your character. Example: "I never knew what really happened that night", rather than "Susie never knew..."
  • Please limit yourself to more than 100 words and less than 2500 words.
  • Your character does not have to be actively played in the school or the Ministry, although that always helps.
  • SS rules always apply!
