I'm going to consider it. I'm experimenting with character development so this would be nice...I just need to make sure I can do it (I have a couple of papers to write for school around that time).
This sounds like a lot of fun anyways. Can people do the same sin or are you looking for a maximum of seven people? |

No, I'd like as many people as possible. I don't mind if people use the same sin, but I would encourage entrants to be as creative and imaginative as possible. |
