In the meantime, if you want to keep all those excess words from clogging your system, you could try entering our co-founder Cassildra's AWAKENING & ASLEEPENING Contest.

Of course, those of you in the southern hemisphere have beauty and a part of the life cycle, too! Leaves are falling from trees, and animals are prepping for their winter hibernation. Unless of course you live in a subtropical or tropical region, like Vocable. Lucky so and so!

I'd like to present a contest. Write 1500 to 3000 words for me, using the themes AWAKENING or ASLEEPENING however you'd like!

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
THE RULES:
The theme is either Awakening or Asleepening. Use one however you like, but don't try to use both!Minimum word count is 1500. Maximum is 3000. Put word count

Or even come up with something for the relaunch of fotoFRIDAY. If you can find something to say about that photograph which also meets our submission guidelines, we'll add it to our gallery as well.
