Well, the following is a list of prompts tailored just for such a genre! 

(25 Fantasy Writing Prompts - Justin McLachlan) 

A working-dad desperate for money to feed his family turns to robbery, only to find that he’s chosen a wizard as his victim. 

Out catching fireflies on their family’s farm on a hot summer evening, two little girls accidentally capture a fairy instead.

Every night, a man hears music behind his house. When he finally investigates, he discovers a circus in the middle of nowhere that disappears each morning.

“If I’m late for potions class again, I’m going to fail the term.”

You have stumbled upon a wand and an instruction manual. You can do pretty much anything with this magical device, but it is probably best to keep it semi-secret for the time being. Describe your first couple of weeks with this new found life hack.

The world you live in is essentially the same...present day, same technologies...except everybody lives in castles and is trying to work their way up to knighthood (including women). Detail a typical day in your life.

Create your own fantasy world using any of the following elements: magic, elves, secret dungeon, a captured prince, and a self-replenishing bag of gold.

During a tornado, your house flies away "Wizard of Oz" style and ends up in a fantastical realm. Where is it and how do you go about your quest to get home?
