This area of the board is for writers to challenge one another to impromptu writing challenges, share interesting but non-writing related news stories and links, and whatever other randomness folks care to engage in.
Have fun!

Er...we did tell you about it. Right here. Did'ya want a phone call? ;)
Nate has suggested he will offer another challenge on 8 June. (Which is former Aphelion Poetry Editor Kim Holec's birthday, apropos of nothing.)

Re: New section - Fun and Games
There is an ancient saying in Grrrwaarlooom:
Rwaaaaragrrrngoooorlllmmmmm.
The literal translation is (felinoid grammar aside)
He who sleeps when the (antelope-equivalent) herd passes never tastes the liver and heart of the prey.
In humanoid terms,
You snooze, you lose.
(Of course, I ENTERED and lost, so not snoozing may not help.)

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
