Lucky number 7.

It's weirdly difficult to think of a theme - especially trying to come up with something that isn't related in some way to a previous SSC.

...

I've decided to go with

Music

Stories in which music plays an integral role.

But only two entries. It's dead. Oh well.

Same here. It's good practice if nothing else.

I'm tempted to re-post the Deer story I did for Meka's competition a couple of years back.

Nah, I'll try to come up with something creative. I've told myself I'll make an effort with as many of the SSCs as possible.

Heh. I know I didn't need to put that in. Just trying to say that the music needs to be more than an incidental bird chirping in a tree or something.

I like it when the theme is at the heart of the story. Not that I really do that ...

I chose music because it's (roughly) a non-physical thing, and I thought it could throw up some unexpected ideas. Then again, it's probably a terrible theme that'll reap hardly any entries.

Do anything people!
