    @mastressalita Wofie and I had a brief discussion on the subject and decided that it's fine for you to post about this thread in the news feed, since you're simply promoting it the same way you would for any other community thread and aren't trying to solicit votes for yourself.

    Awesome stories for last month! Voted :)

    I have an idea I can use for this month's, so I'm a little excited to see if I could get it under 500.

    I was just wondering, do we have to sign up to do this or can we just post a story for it? I was thinking of participating if I find the time.

    Finally got around to writing an entry. As soon as I saw the theme I knew exactly what I was going to write about. Enjoy.

    @lopithecus No sign-ups; just post the link to your story here once you've posted it. Even if you can't finish it within the month, or want to go back and do a story for the previous month, you're still welcome to post it here and we can put it on the "for fun" list :) I hope you'll join us!

    Wow so many early stories... I'm going to feel like a double slacker this month if I take my sweet time like last month... but I've only just begun to think on on it.
    Check out Raerei's Fortress for Builds, Short Stories, and maybe some longer stuff.

    I'm back home so I finally typed mine out :) I scribbled it in a notebook so I could remember what I wanted to write while I was away. :joy:

    Just a quick rule clarification: inserting an image into your story that's just text in a different font does not count towards your image count. If anyone wants to edit a post they've entered to add this, feel free.

    Yes, I'm still working on my stories. But I am restarting them (again). Links will come when they're up. :)

    I forgot one thing- since you're a new member, you'll probably need to break up the link in order for the forums to let you post it. Just put spaces where the dots go (or something else similar to that) and I can put it back together and post it properly for you.

    Okay, I might not have time to do this after all. I have another writing project that is due this month (that is 30K+ words) and really need to focus on that. I'll just wait until July to do that challenge.

    @lopithecus : You can also always do any challenge theme simply "for fun" at any time and it will be added to the "For Fun" section of the entry lists, as well. Even if, say, you wanted to do the theme from last year's December in the middle of July! ^_^ So never let time be an issue if you want to do a theme.
