    I've been quietly lurking in the darkness over here *points to dark corner* silently waiting for the first prompt to decide whether I join or not. And I LOVE it. So, I guess I'm in. =D

    Thanks. ^__^ I may be a bit young but that means I got plenty of time to grow as a writer. This should totally help me. I agree, the prompt is most definitely amazing.

    Hi, I actually posted on the NaNoWriMo forums that I wanted to take part in the experiment and all, but I can't seem to find my post anymore. alas and alack.
    Anyway, amazing prompt; by sheer coincidence, it fits perfectly with a story idea I was already pondering. It's a sign! :P

    I love this project and have sent you an email to sign up. This is a great prompt but the first thing I thought when I read it was 'Dexter'. While he's a great character - I don't want to write about him. LOL So, we'll see if inspiration hits me tonight - or not

    Welcome Sherry! I think it's really going to be interesting how people interpret this prompt. It actually reminded me of certain family members. ::Dark laugh::

Word verification is ON because this blog is closed and I hate spam, which I was getting some of. SORRY :( I do hate those captcha things with a deadly vehemence.
