So I've noticed there seem to be more newbies on the meme lately, and that people are starting to get a bit fatigued by how concentrated some of the types of prompts have become in certain areas and frustrated that things have slowed down.

We were previously discussing maybe an abandoned fills challenge of some kind, but that was problematic for a bunch of reasons.

However, would anyone be interested in a challenge that incorporates the previous prompt posts MVPs? The prompts that started enormous amounts of conversation or multiple abandoned fills or mini-fills but never went anywhere?

I'm thinking that after the holidays are done and the Secret Santa wraps up, a Nostalgia Challenge might be fun and help encourage the new writers to dive into older prompt posts, but also older writers to get involved again.

It would work like this: Either I would go back (in collaboration with anyone else who wants to help) or I would accept nominations for one prompt from each post up to this point that generated the most interest and conversation but not lengty, complete fills. And then there would be eight prompts that people could choose from to work on as part of the challenge.

Then, the challenge would be for writers to do something with those prompts. We could maybe ask people to round robin them the way people are writing the slavery prompts right now and work on a set of stories as a group, or we could even do it like a Big Bang if there is at least one fan artist willing to take on each prompt to inspire potential writers. And we could open the conversation back up on those prompts by reposting them on the Challenge post.

Sort of a way to celebrate the best of this meme's past, and also have some fun collaborating with one another.

What does everyone think of that? Is there any other ways I could encourage more people to participate?
