First off, congratulations manimal. Sorry I missed the last challenge. I even had an idea for a story but somehow it never got written. But the idea's still kicking around. As to your questions re. the challenges: 1) Specifically, do you like the idea of supplied images? I can take them or leave them. 2) Do you feel they are too restricting? They could be if they become the dominant method. I like variety. A seed image now and then is fine, but so too are the myriad of other methods for basing a challenge; e.g. a simple topic (such as A Halloween Challenge for October), a supplied title or opening line, a type of writing (a Brian, a parable, an essay), English usage (the Adverb Challenge comes to mind), or even a genre. I guess all I'm saying is I'd hate for it to become solely seed image based. 3) Would you prefer to not use supplied images? I can take them or leave them, but hope they don't become an the only form. Just my two cents, for what they're worth. jon
