Though the prompts list was already fairly fleshed-out from the first iteration of Wondrous Tails event, I decided to re-organize and add some new ones, especially since the direction is less shipping-centric and more about FFXIV ocs and self-inserts in general!
On that note, I’ve separated the original SFW category into ‘solo’ and ‘shipping’, and I’ve also added a category that is specifically FFXIV-flavored!
Below is but a small snippet of prompts from that category. I like to think there is a lot of fun to be had in interpreting some of them… ;3
Participants of the Wondrous Tails of FFXIV event are welcome to build their bingo cards before the start date (May 1st), and please send questions here if you have any!
There is a re-occurring quest of sorts in Final Fantasy XIV called ‘Wondrous Tails’, and it is given to you in Idyllshire by a young Miqo’te named Khloe Aliapoh. She gives you an empty journal and asks you to write down the stories of your past and future adventures so that she can share them with everyone she meets.
By re-completing past content, you can earn stickers in order to make lines across a card in a style similar to bingo, with each finished line netting all sorts of prizes once the journal is turned in.
In much the same way, ‘Wondrous Tails of FFXIV’ is a month-long event that utilizes a prompt-filled bingo card format to encourage fans tell the stories of their OCs and self-inserts in an environment with minimal restrictions and maximum possibilities.
It is open to both visualandwrittenmedia, and anyone that participates with at least one valid entry is entered for a raffle that takes place after the end of the event.

“More terrible still is the attrition wrought upon thy companions, as they are swept up in the storm of thine existence. Take heart and protect them well.”
Eyn’ara walked into the room and her heart stopped.
Zenos.
She was cold all over, but her most recent scar burned.
He was stalking towards them, and it was like a nightmare she couldn’t wake from, because it was real.
Protect.
It had always been her mandate, one he had taken from her multiple times before, but this time she was ready. She knew what to do.
Having done it before, she knew what it would cost her, too, but she didn’t hesitate.
Breathing deeply in, she lifted her axe high above her head. With a cry, she slammed it down into the ground, feeling the aether go out of her to create a crystalline wall.
It was the truest expression of her self. A bulwark to protect her friends. She would keep them safe, if it took every drop of aether in her body.
