If July is still open, I'd like to offer to be the host.

Thank you, Francis for messaging here. Yes, July is open; I put you in the slot for July. June, November, and December are open too. I have some themes and prompts for these months, but if you are feeling up to hosting, you can have another month or two. Please tell your friends they are welcome to submit stories or host. We are even asking for more moderators for this group.
TQ Glenda, I'd like to lock in the July hosting for the long-term with the theme of tropical exotic fruits - if that is possible - since it's the summer season. This makes it easier for the awareness building efforts.I'll have to get guidance from your experience on how best to manage this first before looking towards other months. I've also submitted my request to be a moderator so as to be able to manage this hosting too.

CHALLENGE GUIDELINES
Genre: Fantasy, Thriller, Sci-Fi, Mystery, Crime, Comedy, Romance, or a mixture (BASICALLY, anything but erotica)
Purpose -
Some fiction writers are looking to win a short story contest, keeping in touch with making deadlines, and/or simply sharpening the skill of writing fiction. The main purpose of this contest is to sharpen plot and character skills, collect your own short stories, receive good feedback, make a good connection with other writers, and take a short break from your current novel to get a fresh view when you return to it.
Rules and Directions -
* Type in English - a minimum of 500 words; a maximum of 1,000 words (hosts, change this at your discretion); no erotica, no profanity.
* Post your title, by line, and word count total in the first line of your story posting.
* Writers are responsible for their own copyright. Authors keep all rights. PRIVACY POLICY IS ENFORCED. COPYRIGHTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BELONG TO INDIVIDUAL AUTHORS. THIS CONTEST DOES NOT GRANT ANY PERSON THE RIGHT OR LICENSE TO COPY OR USE OTHER STORIES. EACH STORY IS PROTECTED BY THE COPYRIGHT OF THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR.
* ONE entry per person, must be writer's original work, a final revision, and a new piece of writing. Please do not delete and repost since this becomes confusing to the readers. Try to post your final revision.
Judging: The story will be judged on creativity, proper grammar, good punctuation, and overall good quality for story.
Voting: Please vote for first, second, and third place. You are not allowed to vote for yourself. If posting this month, you MUST vote, in order for your story to remain eligible.
