Now, there has been some.... misinformation out there. 15th... 16th... what was the true date? Was someone trying to keep your favorite author from playing this game or you from knowing all the juicy details of the forbidden truths hidden in this year's entries by changing it up from blog post to blog post?

I will admit nothing! Neither will the team! But since there MAY have been some confusion out there, I will accept late stories on the 16th if they come in while I *coughs* the Forbidden Author, works on formatting everything for the event. So get your guessers ready, your game faces on, and let the fun ALMOST begin. I know some of you late night Lucies out there YOU CAN get us a story!

As I'm on holiday from 26th July - 26th August, I very much doubt I will get to play the various games this year.

Since when have you ever let that stop you? I do believe they have wi-fi Down Under.

Well if this isn't predictable. Another deadline, another story started. Another deadline missed. :D 

Or... did I miss it? 🥸

Spoiler

Yeah, rest easy, I missed it.

Or did I?

I for one plan on sitting back fueling the rumor mill with whatever I can think of while throwing in a smattering of truth. 

Just try figuring it out .....

That's such a good show ...and so many characters with forbidden knowledge. Lots of story inspiration.

Same here. Last week July till September. And I still have 15 days Flexitime...

Going to an island with no running water and no electricity. Digital detox par excellence.

Enjoy the guessing! I am so not participating ... or am I?

I wish I could join you.  It sounds like fun.  And since I used Australia for when Ricky was an exchange student, I've researched and written about all, or most, of those locations and wish I could experience them with you.  Have a great time!
