How about write titles like this? Bradbury's Jar #777 birdie Bradbury's Jar #888 cat Bradbury's Jar #999 doggy Whenever I want to read an interesting one again, I always have difficulties to find it. Am I the only one?

No, you're right -- sometimes I want to go back and read a fic, and usually go through 3-4 Bradburys before finding the one I'm looking for. I think it's a good idea.

It won't work. Even the simple format that I have set up for the title is rarely done consistently. Since so many of these are drabbles, some will be hard to find. However, for those who write full, developed stories for these there is no reason why they can't create a story thread and then post the link in the Jar thread. Or instead of posting the stories in on lump on Gatch fanfic when they do, post them is individual stories. I won't get into my OCD about not being able to change all back topics; if the minor inconsistencies in topics bother me (yes, i've never mentioned it before, and don't plan to again, as I try to let it go), a change like this, would drive me nuts. And I like the suspense of opening a tread to see what was posted and how. However, I will try to post the master list through 2013 as a guide for all previous prompts, and then this year when it is over. Just remind me in a week or two, if it is not up sooner. I'm in the middle of prepping for a bog scout trip for my son, drum major & band camp for my daughter who just finished softball season one and is now starting season two, a camping trip for DH and I, and averaging three to four sub jobs the last few weeks. As always, if any one wants a date or has ideas for anon prompts, please pm or email me.

I've got a list I could post, if you'd like me to, Ame -- I just need the titles to the pics Springie's submitted.

Youch Amethyst, you're a wee bit busy, aren't you? I hope you're getting some quiet time in there somewhere. I know I try to put my pieces up on Gatchfanfic or archiveofourown later. I'm sure there's some drabbles that I haven't put up. Should look into that.

Other than a dr apt and a softball game, tomorrow is a bit of a break. Thanks, EW. Give me a day or two to email my master list to you as a double check for both of our lists. I only ask if you beat me to posting, please respect the privacy of the anons, my list lists them.

You don't have to worry about me blowing the covers of the anonymous suggestions -- my list simply has the prompts for each week. (As far as I'm concerned, that's all the membership seems to be concerned about.)

If anonymity of title is intentional, then I will respect it. Broadway

...Or, each time there is an anonymous prompt, we could always say, "RACHEL DID IT!" Evillaugh
