GROUND RULES

I'm posting a list of themes/subjects/ideas here that are very vague.  From this list, I'll pick one every week at random (by using an Excel sheet with the 'randomnumber' function) and I'll ask you in a poll which fandom or genre you'd like me to write the theme into.  That way, I'll challenge myself to make, for example, a short story centered around the idea 'what would they do if they were thrown 50 years into the future?' set in the universe (and bound by the rules) of My Little Pony.

My list of themes/subjects/ideas:
- like their fathers before them...
- undeath
- warlock
- how would they cope with losing someone?
- famous last words
- what would they do if they were thrown 50 years into the future?
- famous last words
- dear diary
- catharsis
- live and let die
- breaking barriers
- what do they do when they're not fighting?
- deliverance
- fire and ice
- pain that just won't go away
- faith, hope, love
- the day when everything changed
- yesterday, today, tomorrow
- shadows
- dreams and nightmares

I'll always give two games options of different genres, a book option (or manga/comic, as you may not have read a lot of the books I've read), a movie option, two TV series options - one cartoon and one real-life, a 'choose at random' option for those who can't choose, and I will always include a vote option for original fiction so that you can see something completely new if none of the fandoms tickle your fancy.

Once the poll goes up, you have a week to vote.  Then I have until the next week at the latest to write the story and post it, during which the new poll is already in effect.

I may expend on this list still.  Suggestions and cheers always welcome!
