Disclaimer: I am not taking it upon myself to host this contest.
That said, since we've all pretty much agreed (some more reluctantly than
others) that "Lore" is a pretty dumb idea for the (speculatively) next short
story contest, should it ever happen, we need some fresh themes on the
table. So come all, come to my counter, where wares are not sold but
accepted for astounding textual insight.
Some ideas:
- Ancient Architecture.
- Evolution.
- Ascension.
- Arrangement.
- Mountain (Swamp, Island, Forest and Plains).
- Wedding cake in the middle of the road.
- Manipulation.
Actually, come to think about it, I'd love "Island" as a theme, think of all
the various ways that word can be interpreted into various intriguing plots.
