Help Pick the Prompts for Round 10!
The prompt-choosing process for Round 10 will basically work like so:
Collected here are all the prompts from rounds 1-9. Each round features 28 prompts. Peruse all the cool past prompts we've had and leave a comment here listing 1-28 prompts you'd most like to see back.
The 28 prompts that receive the most votes will make up our set for Round 10. Voting begins now, July 18th and will continue until August 1st, at which point we will hold whatever vote-offs necessary. As mentioned in my previous post, general posting amnesty will continue until Round 10 sign-ups begin.
Disregard the numbers given in each particular prompts - they will be reshuffled once our new set is chosen to mix everything up anew (so before sign-ups this round you'll have an idea of what prompts we'll be using, but not how they'll wind up character-wise).
Comments will be screened so no one has to see your choices (although if you want your votes to be public, just let me know - there's no rule against getting a voting block going to get any particular prompt(s) in either ^^;). Anyone is free to vote whether you know yet if you'll be playing or not (just like sign-ups). :D
…And if nobody participates you're all going to get stuck with the 28 I chose (see my comment). (so, uh, vote accordingly! XD;)
[You need only vote in one location- DW or IJ- I'll tally the results from both sides up together (I'm just leaving my vote in both places as an example)]
Thank you!
