Topic(s) - Week 26

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

What is going on for Week 26?

Glad you asked!

The deadline to link your entries back here is Sunday May 22nd at 10pm EDT.

Which is forever in Idol time.

The catch is that you have topics not topic.

Yes, that means that all of them are mandatory!

They are:
Open Topic (which can, as usual, be anything you want to write)
Grip
Turtles All the Way Down

Have fun!!!

(Note: Yes, three entries. Not one using all three topics)

Comments

The three.

I took this week as an opportunity to play with the sorts of entries I feel are the most alephz.

26.1: Open Topic (http://alephz.livejournal.com/496243.html) - A sweetish sort-of fairy tale.

26.2: Grip (http://alephz.livejournal.com/496951.html) - An optimistic rant about stuff.

26.3: Turtles All the Way Down (http://alephz.livejournal.com/495837.html) - A piece of creepy atmosphere.
