Ten Writing Prompts for Covalent Bonds – Geeks in Love

4/29/2015

0 Comments

 
As some of you may know, Red Moon Romance has an open call for geek love stories.  The anthology is called,  Covalent Bonds – Geeks in Love.  I am not a romance writer but I’m definitely a geek and my geekiness compelled me to generate ten geek romance titles and story prompts.   

Yes, I know romance stories are about the relationship, but my inner geek says that geek romance stories need to have some science in them to make them realistic. 

I hope you find these prompts and titles amusing and/or helpful
  1. Boxers and Briefs - lawyer representing boxing/MMA pugilists
  2. Benchmark - romance in the standards lab. Is the atomic clock accurate enough? http://t.co/n5NsNAOuHW  http://t.co/MuWWUpABFD http://t.co/ElFYaIy2sU 
  3. Mechanical Stimulation - psychologist and a mechanical engineer working on feedback controls for artificial limbs.
  4. What the Frack! - geologist and an environmentalist.
  5. (un)Zipping Your Genes - biochemist and a molecular biologist (look up topoisomerase)
  6. Three Sheets to the Wind - Yacht racing/marine engineer and female racing captain
  7. Backstory - research librarian and a historical fiction novelist square off
  8. Shake and Bake – love in NASA's food science lab
  9. The Woollies – large animal zoologists with differing opinions about bringing back the woolly mammoth.  http://bit.ly/1OlgONE 
  10. Bring the Rain - weather control engineer and an environmentalist
