I'm no expert on alcoholism but I do know about gambling addiction and I would be so sad if people struggling with these issues couldn't participate in a reading challenge without feeling forced to confront or discuss their very difficult personal issues."

i feel a little bad to seem so critical of it. i know we all have our personal circumstances and different topics we are uncomfortable reading about or even have triggers we need to avoid (without getting personal, i really can't do medical stuff, for example, so the medical memoir prompt was a huge no for me). but i think it's great we can discuss these things out as a group!

It seems like everyone voted early in this poll... we have a higher number of votes right now than we normally do on the last day of voting. But make sure you vote because the results are closeeeee.

Interesting. I was a bot surprised cos I agreed to submit someone else prompt idea and then the idea I had for the last poll got suggested again by someone else. So in a sense i have suggested two of these prompts. It would be great to see either make it. But i appreciate its a fierce fight.

Nicole Sterling | 452 comments I still have to get my vote in today. After voting on the first day last time and waiting an eternity for the results, I decided to vote on the last day for the last poll so I don’t have to wait so long. I know it’s still the same amount of time from the time we got the list to vote on to the results, but it seems like less time if I vote later. 🤣

I'm afraid I'll forget if I wait, or that will be the one day my internet is down!
