The 2020 Prompt Selection Post: Round 2: Final ballot

[brightknightie]

We've narrowed our field to 16 eligible prompts! Thank you!

Now, let's elect the 3 prompts we'll share as our common pool in this year's game. (Each story will use at least 1 of the 3.) Every FKFicFest community member is welcome to vote, not only those planning to write this year.

By 11:59pm (Pacific Time) on Sunday, February 16:

1. Vote for your first, second, and third prompt choices. (No repeats.)
2. We'll apply a point system: 5 for a first-place vote, 3 for a second, and 1 for third.
3. The 3 prompts with the most total points become our pool. (As mod, I'll break any ties in favor of prompt diversity.)

I'll announce our chosen prompts on Monday, February 17 (Presidents Day in the US, Family Day in much of Canada). Stories will come due on April 19 (9 weeks to write). They'll start releasing on April 20, and continue one per day as long as they last.
