Would anybody be interested in doing another one of these? Last one was fun!

Sure. Can't guarantee that I'll actually write anything, but I must contribute to the possibility of having the opportunity to try.

Sure, I'd be up for giving it a shot. How does it work?

This sounds like fun. But I need to know more info before I get into this...

Same here.

Well basically I have a deadline for submissions, you can mail me your stories/poems/plays up until that point. Last time I used pastebin.com to host it. I put the links in the OP and create a poll where people vote for their favourite piece. After a couple of weeks the poll is closed and we declare a winner and announce who wrote each piece.

Do we all pick a theme to write about or is it just anything goes? Also, are there any rules about minimum or maximum length?

Anything goes. As for length, within reason. No minimum since poems are an option. As for prose, no....but you don't want to write something too long as it needs to retain the interest of the reader.

Just wondering, how long would people consider to be too long? I've been developing ideas for short stories and don't want to over-elongate whichever one I decide to put in.
