Oh, wow! 200! Already! Thanks EW! For keeping up with all the coordination and keeping this going!

Wow, Who would have thought this challenge would still be going for so long? Interesting challenge too, EW, No promises, but I'll give it some thought.

Many many thanks EW, for keeping things nice and tidy here -- and especially for the list of words! I'm not sure I can manage this challenge, but I can try to keep my trib this week at 200 words -- will that do?

Thanks to both Amethyst and EW for this constant source of entertainment and inspiration.

Oh boy. I thought doing it the last time was hard. It might take longer than a week to come up with this one!

Whew...that's a tough one! I'm looking forward to seeing if you get any takers...

I'm amazed that this is still going after so long, and I to everyone who has participated! I don't think I could use all 200 in one prompt without making it incredibly contrived, and for me, the point is to let these exercises flow with just the one idea. As such, I will be duly impressed with anyone who can do it!

OK, so, not saying that I am going to do this, I've already got a lot on my plate as it is... But... if the muses decide that they want to take up the challenge, I have one teeny-tiny question... Do the prompt words need to be used in order or not? *Mylari glares at her muses who are whispering and snickering from across the room*

Mylari - You don't have to use them in order. (Good grief, isn't trying to use 200 prompts hard enough?!? ) If you are able to use them in order, then, at the very least, hats off to ya! Also, like the regular Bradbury's Jar, there isn't a set time limit for posting. (Again, shooting for the goal of using 200 prompts is really hard without slapping a 1-week deadline on it! Only people with absolutely NOTHING else going on in their lives might be able to do that.) Anyway, thanks to Amethyst for coming up with this great idea, and for finding me good enough to take the reigns when RL started throwing a whole lot of extra stuff her way. I'm glad I can help out.

Contrived is what I did with my Ultimate Bradbury Jar last year. I got the idea from a fic of Jane Lebak's, I think it's called Hospital Food.
