It used to be a weekly thing. A prompt would be posted every Monday and we'd go to town. I think we all got a little burnt out on it. But if Perkins is willing to play moderator for a while, it could become regular again. You up for it, Perkins?
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Because books.
How often do drabble prompts happen? They used to happen every Monday! Teppy was our awesome drabble mistress. When she needed a little break, we sort of ... slacked off. Once in a while someone steps up with prompts, but we've had sort of a dearth of drabbles for a while.
Lee took over for Tep for a while, a while back, and then she decided to link the photos (which we've done in the past, just never from the Library of Congress) for inspiration. Because she rocks like that.

Attention, book-editor types:
I have a friend who is a freelance book editor, mostly for authors who want their mss cleaned up before they submit them and for self-publishers. However, she doesn't think she's the best editor to tackle this:
Kiss Me, Straight is a gay romance about Todd, a San Francisco-based flight attendant who struggles with a lifelong, self-defeating attraction to straight guys. His best friend Katie, a former flight attendant herself, owns a vacuum cleaner repair shop in Todd’s apartment building and thinks he needs to get over his obsession with unattainable men and give a real relationship a try. The story takes Todd to Paris, Sydney, Beijing, and Tokyo, and then back to San Francisco and his hometown of Ogallala, Nebraska, before he does eventually find love – just not where he expected to.
She's looking for someone to refer the author to.

Ginger, your profile address didn't work for me. Are you penandINK or penandLINK?

I'm not unwilling, but I'm going to be knee deep in new job for a while. If I did take over, would people mind switching new prompt day to Sunday, and helping out by sending me any prompts they think of?

I think that's an awesome idea.
