#Prompt: Somebody hires you to create a live action TV show about catgirls. It can be fiction, non-fiction, reality, game show, or any other format. It can be in any genre. And you have an unlimited budget to hire guest stars. What's your idea?
I just discovered this prompt. I curate a selective list of Mastodon-hosted and -friendly prompt sources, and once my blog hosting site lets me update again (it's been flaky), I'll add your prompt to my list—for what good it will do. https://paper.wf/codgertator/
