I dont know if I would push the deffinition that far. But then that action is a little confining, you need to think what you would accept if you were the judge. |

Hi and welcome! The judges are open to creative interpretations of the prompts. So as long as the action of putting on a ring is happening in the story, you'll be fine. What kind of a ring could be open to interpretation. There's a section in the welcome letter and on the FAQ page that gives some examples. Edit: okay, out of curiosity, I went back to see how far I pushed the prompts in the 250 last year. Here's what I had and what I did with them: Checking the time - verifying and fixing the integrity of the actual timeline Hosting a party - two people doing a cultural ceremony where they welcome the ghosts of their ancestors Slipping - slipping behind schedule I feel like these pushed it a little and it was fine. Having your ring be a ringtone vs. A wedding ring, a ring like a loop, a ring around your tomato plants, or some other ring altogether seems like a reasonable stretch to me. Buuut, I'm not the judges. Read the rules, consider their examples, and interpret as you will!

That's tough. I always feel like it's harder when the prompts fit too well. I'd rather some oddball things to push against creatively.

Congrats on the early entry and good luck with the judges! The results are scheduled to come around midnight on February 4. The dates are listed everywhere, but kind of buried. The fastest and easiest way I've found to find them is on the resources page on the website. There's a link to a calendar with upcoming dates.

GROUP: 49 GENRE: Historical Fiction ACTION: Bluffing WORD: soft I believe I'm the first 49 to check in on this thread, any groupmates out there? :) I like these prompts, even if I have no idea yet where to take them... they're general enough to be "easy" and generic enough to be "hard" |
