    Sure! Just choose one of them to be the "main" one, since I won't link it twice on the Table of Contents.

    When I say "main", I don't mean one theme has to more important than the other, just that you need to choose one for me to classify it under.

    Is it to late to take part? I forgot to "watch the thread" even though i voted for one of the themes.
    Also when are the stories due by? from reading all the posts i am confused.

    Usually by the 15th of the month, but you're free to do themes from earlier months I believe. They're quite lax about things here. :)
    (So for example, May's theme would be "due" by May 15th, but you can still write about it after the 15th's passed, or stick with figuring out April's instead.)

    so is it ok for me to write my story for May; because i am most confused with this due date. (the theme was announced on the 13th so is it still due on the 15th)
    Also when you say you can still write about the theme after the deadline passed do you mean like for next month(post the story in Jun for example)? Or can you post it at any time?
    If it is ok at any time then how do you follow the "due date/schedule"?
    If it is not ok at any time, but you can post in the same month still, then is there like a cut off point until the next month?
    ****Sorry for all the questions and if they are confusing

    Gotta ping @brasca123 for this. Honestly, I think it's so members know which prompt is in play at the moment. There aren't many active participants iirc so deadlines and things are a way to move things along?

    The deadline is just for you to have a goal actually, to try and make your story in 1 month.

    You can actually make the story for any of the themes we already suggested, the important thing is to try writing and have fun with it!

    It's completely okay to write things after the deadline! \(^^)/
