Having successfully saved twenty-one prompts so far, we're going to continue our house cleaning Theme of the Month. Next Mail Call (i.e. on 18 May), we will permanently delete all prompts posted in October, November and December 2019. During that period all prompts posted in October, November and December 2019 will be worth 2 points if filled.

Fill One, Save Three
What if you've got a favorite prompt you were saving for later? A half-finished draft waiting for the correct alignment of the stars? Three absolutely gorgeous lines with no plot attached as of yet?

For the next two weeks (until 18 May), for each fill you post (in response to any prompt posted at any time), you can save up to 3 prompts from October, November and December 2019. Just mention them in a comment the newsletter post, and they will not be culled when the time comes.
