Given what the majority of my stories are like, I can just about anything. That said, in the spirit of the prompt, I'll have something new instead. A variation on my usual AU I never had a lot of ideas for but can at least do one story with.

Well, it looks like we didn't get enough entries this time either. Thanks to sgamer for participating, though.
Do you guys have any ideas for themes and optional prompts for the next one?

*Blinks blearily at screen* How did I not know there was an AU contest going on? I’ve been working on an AU set in the world of Repo the Genetic Opera on and off for the last 3 weeks without even realizing.

So...we haven’t had much interest in the 5k contests recently. I was thinking of taking April off and coming back with a new 5k contest in May. Does anyone have any opinions regarding this? Any ideas for themes you’d like to do in the future?

I don't have any special opinion either way. Then again I only ever participated in one 5k contest before now so it's not something I paid particular attention to.

I’ve been writing short stuff recently, so no complaints here.
If I come up with any prompts I’ll post them later.
