I think I might want to write a sequel to my Until Morning fic I did for the Mornings contest where Aoko sets aside her biases and preconceived notions about Kid and why Kaito is Kid discussed in the first fic. The optional prompts are speaking to me. Let's see if I can make something of this plunnie.

I'll do it. I'm about halfway through my entry, so I'll try to pull it together in the next seven hours.

Hey everyone! Actually, I guess just Boo and Addy...and me, but I don't make a habit of talking to myself...except that's a lie. ^.^; Anyway! I'm going to be leaving on vacation early Sunday morning, so I'm going to bed on Saturday as soon as I close the polls. Could I have a contest theme and three optional prompts from each of you by the time polls close so that I can start the next contest immediately so I can just go to sleep and not have to worry about trying to get it done on airport wifi on Sunday? Thanks. It'd be super helpful.
