I have a problem. You're asking for prompts, but I usually think of a prompt as being as short as possible: witness the Monthlyish Challenge, where the prompt is two whole words. They're an idea which people can read wildly differently.
Given the four-sentence-minimum requirement, I'd class what you're asking for here as outlines - a fully-fledged story idea, basically just needing fleshing out and writing. In other words, it's 'I've got a great idea for a story, but I don't have the time/energy/skill/knowledge to write it'.
And, uh... my problem is that I can't think of those. Or rather, if I can come up with a four-sentence outline, I can also come up with a two-page outline, and plan to write the story. I don't particularly have stories of the 'want to write but can't (be bothered)' variety in my head, or not in any detail.
What I'm saying is, I'd love to participate - but I can't think of anything. If I come up with something, I'll add it.
(And how many words did I use to say that? Shh, that's how many. Here's an extra .023: .)

Do prompts have to be related to christmas?

Now I just have to think of a good prompt! Haha. . .
Does the prompt have to include specific characters and happenstance, or can it just be something like "Space western with cool aliens and a planet"? Because I don't really have anything specific in mind, though I suppose I could come up with one if need be. Is general okay?

I need to start training my writing skills again. I haven't written anything for years. So I hope this will be a good start. I will be looking forward to it!

I need to write more, and I've been gradually going into lurker-mode here, what better way to get more involved with the community? I can't wait!

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have time to participate in this on top of holiday-season craziness and all the other stuff I'm trying to write, but I look forward to seeing what everyone else does. Maybe next year!

When you say original do you mean original using PPC characters or original using any OC's of yours whatsoever?
Otherwise looking forward to it.
This is a great idea by

I have a suggestion. November is also NaNoWriMo. Would it be possible to tweak the dates so everyone gets their prompts, say, a week before November 1. so people doing NaNo can finish them before the madness starts?
If not, it's no big deal. 20 days of December is still time enough to write a story. I just think it would be a great pre-NaNo warm-up.
