Join the challenge! Signups are now CLOSED Deadline to Sign-up: Sunday, August 11, 2024 Click here to jump to the messages. Here's the scoop... Each week, on Monday, I will give you a prompt. Sometimes the prompt will be an image, words, phrases, or a form. On occasion. the prompt may have you write for and submit to a poetry contest within WdC. Each weekly prompt may come with additional rules but you will always have creative freedom, providing you comply with the prompt rules. PPC Incentive Programs: Writing Incentive: At the end of every month, participants who have submitted an entry for every week of the month, will be entered into a drawing to win a community merit badge! Reviewing Incentive: please visit: "PPC5 - Review Incentive" . Please create a book or folder item for this activity or you may also use an existing book or folder item. Your awardicon will be placed on the folder/book. Given the number of items that you will end up creating, or that you will be creating a book, unfortunately, members with a free account are not eligible for participation. All genres and ratings are accepted up to and including XGC - but please no fetish stuff, no prejudice towards sexual preferences or racism, etc. This is an activity, a challenge, but not a contest. No one's poems will be judged. Once you have written your poem, please post a link to your poem in the forum. Do not post your poem in the forum - it will not count. If you store your poems in a book, you will need to post the entry number for each week's poem. I will not go on a treasure hunt for your poems. If it's not posted correctly, I will let you know. If the entry is not corrected, it will not count until it is posted properly. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule. Since this is an activity, you can catch up on previous weeks that you have missed, just make sure that you state in your forum post what week it is for. You may enter your poem into any WDC contest providing it fits any prompt/line requirements and/or any other rules of that contest as well as the PPC Prompt. Start Date: Monday, August 12, 2024 End Date: Sunday, August 10, 2025 "What's in it for me?" Besides the fun and challenge of it, it's up to you!

If you choose not to put an awardicon/trophy on layaway, that is entirely up to you.
