Thank you to Richard for the theme which is:

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments Okie doke so.... an extension til the 31st October as I've not had any entries :(


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Has interest disappeared then?


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments Looks a bit like it :(

There were more entries when Simon sent out an email to members


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Simon who?

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments I went in for 2 or 3 of these, but I didn't enter the last one. Or maybe the last two (I lose track).

It's one of those things where I would do it if lots of people did it, but I wouldn't if it was undersubscribed. And if everyone thinks that way then it doesn't happen as we all wait for everyone else to have a go.

Maybe if there was an authorly prize, like having one of your books promoted as a forum book of the month? That might get us all scribbling.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Good idea Will.

I'll poke Simon.


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Hello everyone, one of the things I like about this section is that it gives readers as well as writers a chance to have a go, so offering an author incentives doesn't seem to be the whole answer. Undoubtedly sending out group emails is good for these and I will do that later. Oddly I saw no evidence that offering amazon vouchers had much effect either, from which I assume you are all too rich.
Changes at Amazon have reduced earnings to the group from sales to negligible, so there isn't any cash to flash either.
I am always open to suggestions though.

Stuart Ayris (stuayris) | 2614 comments I'll give it a shot. It might be weird but it'll be a shot!

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments I have an entry :) And I'll write one which will make 2 so far!!
