@Tom, I think Sean originally said seven but then Avery said by midnight is fine with her because she won't post them untill Monday morning.

@TomMartinArt & Bekanator: e-mail your story anytime before sunrise basically. It was originally a deadline of 7 central time because that was exactly 7 days later, but Averydoll couldn't post them before tomorrow morning anyway. Actually, she has been sick all day and in bed, so even if we all got them to her by noon, she wouldn't have gotten them posted yet.

Jessica said we could extend it to midnight because she's not gonna post the poll until Monday morning. Although we never did officially extend it, so let's just say "tonight".

It'll be just like the WAR battles. Only paid members will see it and the topic won't be seen in Google searches.

(please don't anyone post a prompt until someone takes up the challenge)

Ok, since I'm having my usual bout of complete lack of motivation due to fear of success/failure/horses, I could really use a swift kick in my gloriously formed/highly muscled and just hairy enough ass. Anyone willing to challenge me?
And, please, I like the old fashioned style of thunderdome, but if you absolutely must have the new-fangled easier and less challenging challenge, so be it.

I am liking the idea of a battle of the black and whites!
I officially accept, and hope that you've ferreted away several pints of your own blood or appropriately compatable blood types and spare organs, because I plan to gooify you like a Bassomatic - either that, or die a gloriously melodramatic death by your hand. Either, or.
So... promptly present the prompt, please, oh wise and noble prompt presenters.
EDIT: forgot to mention that I prefer the standard method of one week to post in workshop, then one week for finals. I like getting input on my craptacularity.
And thank you, Moon. I was really needing something outside myself to force me to write. You sir, are an officer and a gentleman. It will be a sad thing, gutting you like a fish with my literary vomit skills

The original word count was 2500, but some people have gone up to 3k. Whatever count you want is cool.

Hmmm... Seeing as I don't even have a solid idea yet (but half a dozen vague concepts to choose from) I can't really decide what would be a viable word count... let's make a range, maybe - something like at least 2.5k and no more than 4k for the sake of those reading?
