We've changed our format! Due to the large number of entires we receive, we've decided to turn this into a contest. Your posts will still be added to the page, at the bottom of the "Monthly Entries" list below, but we'll pick about five every month to add to the Main List, and then start the monthly entries afresh. We'll also prune the main list once or twice a year. Enjoy! Note: Please do not refer to other posts by number, as these entries are periodically edited, and the numbers will change. Also, slurs against Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are out of place here. Thanks. |
