Welcome to THE PENASIUM, home to writers, artists, and curious minds of every kind. All mediums, themes, genres, and styles appreciated - experience entirely unnecessary.

Every month you will find a new prompt posted on our website rooted in folklore, myth or history designed to challenge and encourage your creativity. It could take the form of an image, the introduction of a story, a database entry from our folklore files, poetry, a riddle, or maybe an artifact from the ancient world.

It doesn't matter how you answer the challenge - you could paint a scene, sketch a character, compose a poem or write your first novel - just use Penasium to spark that brilliant mind of yours...
