In case you haven't noticed yet, IT'S A NEW YEAR! Enough time has passed for the mandatory making and breaking of silly resolutions, so now it's time for the important things... * * * * * * * ADOPT A PROMPT DATE * * * * * * * ...or two, or three, or seven... It's easy to do! 1. PM me with your choices of the dates, and I'll let you know if your choices are available. 2. **Mark the date(s) on the calendar so you don't forget!** 3. Post the prompt on your chosen date. The prompt can be a word or phrase, a photograph, a work of art, a sentient shade of blue you found to be especially witty -- whatever works! Here are the available dates: February 5 12 19 26 March 5 12 19 26 April 2 9 16 23 30 May 7 14 21 28 June 4 11 18 25 Just PM me, and I'll get you set up!

A lovely, wonderful, spectacular, awesome FIRST TIMER has stepped up! So... where are the massive, enthusiastic throngs of Gatchamaniacs that should have lined up for dates, Hmm?

We now have two awesome volunteers! Surely you couldn't pass up an opportunity to set a prompt or two free to play in the world...

I'll pick up a date at some point, but not just yet.

I would ... but I'm almost afraid to ... the last time I adopted prompt dates, the entire site kept crashing! I'm thinking it might be a sign ... let me think on it and if you still need volunteers, we can try it!

Thanks for being splendid, DT!

So far, Daniella T, GrumpyGhostOwl, and Katblu42 have reached for the brass ring, stepped up, taken the plunge, and let me mix metaphors while signing up for Bradbury's Jar prompt dates. Two others are definite maybes. There are still a generous supply of dates YOU can step up, raise the challenge, throw down the gauntlet, and give me more metaphors to mix! Just PM me so we can work out the details!

Or maybe it's turning into a form of Fight Club...the problem is, the first rule about Fight Club is that you can't talk about Fight Club!

That is indeed a complication.
