[Story Challenge Feb/Mar] Topic Suggestion

Topic suggestion thread for monthly short story challenge
February/March

Topic selection will take place within a period of a few days.

• Each member will suggest at most one topic as a post in this thread.
• Topics will consist of a phrase of one or two words. The topic has to allow for somewhat open interpretation. "Chinese Civil War", for example, is not a good topic; "Reflection" and "Storm" are.
• This thread is intended for those at least thinking about doing the challenge themselves.

This thread will close around noon GMT Monday the 11th (in order to give the Yanks a weekend to think about it). Before closing, I will present the full list of suggestions.

You will have till Friday afternoon to PM me (Identity X) with your vote, which will take ye olde "Eurovision" form, simplified to 3 choices of topic, weighted with 3, 2 and 1 point(s) respectively. E.g.

Quote:

---

Hi Identity X,

My vote for the topics:
3 points: Foo
2 points: Bar
1 point: Foobar

---

I will then tabulate this and post it in a new thread, along with the announcement of the winning topic. The competition begins then! The thread created will remain open for discussion during the challenge (help and tips or whatever).

Anyway, my topic is:


Glass.

Forest.

Redemption.

Failure.


(I can participate as topic chooser, rite?)

Transgressing boundaries

Hmmm.... if you're not going to write one yourself, I'd rather you didn't. I think it's more respresentative (and fun) that way.

Just saw the other thread. Is it too late to join? I'd totally join in, and write a one or two page story :D

Yeah that's fine ;).

Vote in the other thread if you want...

Incestuous homosexual intercourse...No, wait. Let me change that.

Superstition

The future.

The episode of Who's the Boss? where Tony sees Angela naked in the shower.

No wait, I got a real one: death

I look forward to Monday, Ident. Apologies for not being around to vote.

Mayybe we could do a composition about confusion. Oh, I posted in the other topic.

how about an immortal of some kind?

Why can't we stick with one topic? Or a couple anyway.

I voted from the other one... am I too late to join in? I don't care to add a topic, but I'd like to hone my writing skills some.

Oops sorry, forgot to post this! NO MORE SUGGESTIONS PEOPLE. The list has been finalised and please may you now PM me your votes.

Schneiderr: Sorry!
Xox: One topic alone will be selected on Friday after the voting.
Elis D: Yes you can join at any point formally (by voting here) or informally. Since I've taken and recorded your vote already, I'm already assumed you'd joined...
