September Poll
No prompts this week (until Friday that is). Don’t forget, all of September’s prompts are still open until tomorrow.
That leaves this Wednesday to fill.
The mods thought it would be a good idea to get all the members of the community involved in picking the monthly themes. Therefore the last week in the month will now be poll week (unless we have something special planned! Ooh!).
As this is our first month, the mods have picked 10 possible themes for October. Use the poll to select the theme you fancy. You know the drill. I am not going to explain what each theme is. They may or may not be what you think!
Then in the box beneath the main poll, we’d like you to suggest the theme(s) YOU would like to see. These suggestions will then form next month’s poll* along with another suggestion that the mods will throw in themselves. In the event that we have less than 10 suggestions, the mods will fill in the rest to make up the numbers. If your theme suggestion isn’t picked, then you are welcome to suggest it again in other polls.
Remember: your suggestions for themes should be fairly broad so that it’s easy for us to make up 20 prompts. For instance, ‘plumbers’ is too narrow (unless we really get into the nitty gritty of piping…), but ‘occupations’ might work; ‘don’t you know that you’re my hero?’ (if that's what it is, I can't be bothered to check) is too narrow, the whole set of lyrics to ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ is better.
* We do reserve the right to reject or tweak any suggestions that are unsuitable or unworkable for us in any way. This might be because the suggested theme is too narrow and we can’t think of 20 prompts, too similar to a recent theme or because it’s just plain unpleasant (i.e. sexist, racist, homophobic etc (I’m not expecting this to actually be a problem as you all play nice, but we reserve the right anyway)).
The poll will close Friday, 1st October at 12 Noon GMT.
