Hello authors, and hope you're having a great summer!
In this thread, we asked you for suggestions for a Earth Day contest replacement. You came up with some wonderful ideas which have been narrowed down to 5 possible themes:
~Spring is in the Air: Would include "March Madness," April Fool's, May Day, Easter, Passover, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's day, Spring Breaks, Spring Flings, etc....
~April Fool's: Stories (humorous or otherwise) of surprise meetings, humor, tricks, trick endings, and other themes of deception, chance, and/or misunderstandings (happy or otherwise).
~Historical Erotica Contest: Would include time travel tales as well as stories taking place anytime/anywhere prior to the current year.
~Game Day: Stories about games, sports or that are, themselves a "game" the reader plays while reading them.
~New Beginnings: stories about trying or doing anything new. First meetings, first times, first steps on a journey, first lessons, etc.
Now, we'd like you to choose the theme you think would make the best basis for next year's contest.
As already stated: do know that this is a test run. Whichever theme is chosen in the polls will be the theme for next spring's contest. After that contest, we can all discuss it and see how it goes. It could become another staple Special Contest - like Summer Lovin' has - or we could try another idea the following year if there's a shared feeling that you'd like to try another idea.
This poll will remain open for 60 days, so feel free to take your time and think about the themes, as well as discussing them with each other in this thread, before choosing.
Thanks again, and Happy Voting!
