The 2021 Prompt Selection: Round 1

[brightknightie]

We have 16 intriguing nominated prompts! Thank you! Now, which of them do you most want to write? Which do you most want to read?

Let's streamline our ballot!

• By 10:00 PM (Pacific Time) on Sunday, February 28:
• Vote for up to 2 of the nominated prompts in the poll below.
• Every prompt that gets at least 1 vote in this round moves on to our final round.

Our poll is open to all community members. Voting isn't a commitment to play.

From February 28 to March 7, we'll pick our 3 winners. Those 3 will be our common prompt pool, from which to use at least 1 in each story. As previously posted, we'll use a modified tally method to hopefully catch both wide and deep appeal (read about it).

Questions? Let me know! Thanks!
