Hi all! Today's the deadline, and I don't see that we have any entries. Furthermore, I haven't heard anyone talking about possible entries either. While it may still be a little early to call it judging by past occurrences, if the situation persists as at present, you all can start posting suggestions for the next theme and optional prompts, and I'll set up a vote before I leave town on the twenty-first (Friday). Thanks!

So, yeah. It looks like we didn't get any entries. Does anyone have any suggestions for themes/prompts for next time?

So this may only be because I'm sitting in an airport hoping that my flight isn't delayed again...
