I made the decision that, this month (June 2022), I won't be doing a writing contest (since my brain was elsewhere this past month), and I'll take these two weeks leading up to the prep post for the July contest to ask you guys for suggestions.
When I took on the contest last year, it had been my intention, from the very beginning, to challenge people's writing abilities, either with topics that were not very well-known, or with writing ideas outside of the usual. Recently, though, I have noticed the few that did enter have gotten fewer, so, while taking into consideration the recent rule change has made writing what we want all the more difficult, that has made me think that my ideas are starting to get a bit dry/hard/uninteresting for everyone.
So I want to know from you guys. What kinds of ideas do you want to see in the contests? I have the next two queued up, with a third possibility up for consideration in the future, but what would you like to try?
