    Better to start preparing now though? To have the poll ready by the 15th.

    I think using this idea and this idea mixed together, I'll split it into one unlucky guy and everyone else.

    Anticipate it for Feb 2018!

    I suck at writing, and I write slow. You can see from how my submitted story a while ago is 600 words and is really really subpar

    :\
    I personally felt that I could've given the characters more personality, and more emotion. But I just shafted it after I finished the initial draft and made sure the grammar and spelling was right.

    So...before the poll for the March topic opens (on the 15th), any suggestions?

    TENTATIVE SUGGESTIONS (?)
    1) A day in the life of cupid/Cupid trying to find love for a person with a unique circumstance --- by @CyberCypher
    2) You must split humanity into two groups, and then one of those two will be randomly selected and instantly all die. How do you divide the human race? --- by @NZPIEFACE
    3) Troupes With A Twist/Twisting Troupes/Corrupting Proverbs: Write a story based on a really common phrase/troupe --- by @Senros
    4) [Recycled suggestion by me lol] Tweet Me: Write a dialogue story using 40 character tweets between two characters.

    5) [Recycled suggestion by me again lol] Flashback: Don't you hate flashback chapters in shounen manga? Write the most outrageous flashback about a superhero's past you can come up with.

    If there aren't enough suggestions, I'll probably just go to reddit /r/writingprompts and /r/SimplePrompts or something >.>

    Uh, you have 1 day to live. What do you do?

    7 days into the zombie apocalypse, a new kind of zombie appears. Your group died off the night before, and the zombies want to talk to you.

    You're a magician that does party tricks for a living, but one day you find that you have actual powers, limited to doing the tricks though.
