2025 Anthology - Big Announcement!


Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Joyous Kwanzaa to all who celebrate! I'm still in a bit of a food coma from Christmas dinner, but I wanted to bring a reminder and also some important news for next year's anthology.  First, submissions for Carlos' tribute event are due tomorrow, so be sure to put the finishing touches on your stories and post the link in the thread in the Writer's Circle.  Second, I decided to do things a little differently this year, and instead of having a committee decide on the anthology theme, I put it up for discussion with my fellow admins.  We've selected a theme that is open to multiple interpretations, and it's one I'm pretty excited to write about.  I'm also looking forward to seeing how others interpret the theme.  I suppose I've rambled on enough (I blame the Oreo cheesecake I had for dessert), so without further ado, here is the theme for the 2025 GA Anthology!

I'll have to think about this one for a while, since nothing popped into my mind when I saw the theme.  

Keep in mind that the theme doesn't have to hit us over the head.  The nice thing about this theme is that you can write pretty much anything.  Maybe one of your characters has a pet kitty or dog or dragon or whatever.  That will fit the theme, even if it's subtle.  I'm sure you will come up with something :)

I'm not sure how I feel about the anthology theme being taken completely out of the hands of the authors.  Seems weird to me.

Myr stated it perfectly.   This year, for a variety of reasons, this was the way to go.  That doesn't mean we won't go back to having a committee for theme suggestions and then site-wide voting in the future.

Oh my I said to myself as my imagination began to run wild......

Rein in that ol' imagination and slow it down a bit before those horses run over you.  You've got plenty of time to figure things out without losing sleep or getting your blood pressure going through the roof.  :gikkle:  :hug:

Perfect! I mean this can be basically anything: two legs, four legs, six legs, eight legs (shudder), wings, fins...

Fins to the left, fins to the right, and you're the only bait in town. RIP Mr. Buffett.
