Vacation is WAY better than voting!

I will admit, I downvoted the Oz prompt because I've had a year of it from another challenge I do (https://www.goo..."

I'm more likely to vote for something like a Wizard or Alice prompt because it is the anniversary of the book than for random reasons.

Whereas 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit so while I'm not a rabbit person, I would vote for it.

But you got a lot of interest here and we even started a thread about it, which can always be used in the future. Your idea is original, which is a big plus. After a few years of doing various challenges, I see similar ones come up a lot and this was different. (Of course, some people see different and reject it!)"

Thank you for saying that :) I was going for something different with the prompt, but apparently it was too different for some voters – enough to not even be polarizing, which I would have expected given the mostly positive reactions in the discussion threads.

Ah, well. Perhaps next year^^

Wow, completely missed this because I got hit with the stomach flu yesterday. I'm pretty happy with the results. The only one I'm slightly disappointed about is the body of water prompt, because I was hoping it could be reworked to be a cover prompt instead (or in addition).

One thing you might consider next time is increasing the number of degrees of separation to 3 or 4.

Some people do not count a degree of separation for a person who participates in the same GR group. In many cases it is an online name, not a person I know individually.

Well, I need to pay better attention! I didn't realize we were suggesting and voting already. My bad. I would have voted FOR both of the prompts that were rejected. Bummer. Oh well - I will pay more attention from now on! :)
