So I've a new idea to get other people besides me to start writing things for the Press (getting good articles out of you guys is like pulling teeth, sorry to say).

Basically, I post a writing prompt (no, it's not English class, DON'T LEAVE YET STOP IT DON'T PRESS THE BACK BUTTON DON'T YOU DARE! MOVE THAT MOUSE! NOW!) and once maybe 3 or 4 people respond I'll put them all together as an article on the Press site. Length doesn't matter (really, it could be one word or a ten page essay), as long as it's not unfunny stupid, I'll post it.

Here's some samples of the prompts:

- Your home planet has just been destroyed in order to make way for the construction of an intergalactic highway. You are now aboard one of the alien ships responsible. What happens next?
- You’re in the middle of important negotiations when your shoe starts ringing. What do you do?
- What would your application letter to an evil league look like?
- A giant stone head tells you your genitals are evil. How do you react?
- Your best friend wakes you up in the middle of the night, hands you a pistol, and says, “Don’t ask questions, just follow me." What happens next?


If you're wondering, yes, I totally stole all of these prompts from a writing website. :P


Yay or nay, kiddos?
