I am not going to explain what these choices mean – not now anyway. They will have a big influence on your story but I have every confidence that you will cope. You have all the skill and application necessary. I will explain when I reveal full details of the theme, but that won’t be until the group becomes private.
And please don’t take these choices too seriously. Yes, there’s a bit of commitment, but it’s also a piece of fun.
Choice 1
Choose: cat, dog, or other
Choice 2
Choose: stamps, coins, painting, sculpture
Next
When you have chosen, post your choices as a reply to this topic, in this thread
For instance, a suitable reply might be:
Dog, Coins
You may change your mind right up until the group becomes private and is closed to new members. At that point you are stuck with your choices.
I urge you to join and make your choices as soon as possible.
The timetable:
Now 2026
Challenge Begins. You join this group and make some choices.

Group goes Private at 22:00 UK time. If you’ve joined and chosen then you’re in. I’ll reveal a bit more so you can start writing.
28 February 2027
Writing stops by 22:00 UK time and (hopefully) you have posted an entry. At this point you have a limited time to finish any reading and get your votes to me.
