Giraffe Update and other calls - #promptcall

My Giraffe Call is still Open (and on LJ).

I have written to 8 of 10 prompters so far, and should have those prompts done by the end of day.

When I write to the last prompter, the Call is closed. So get your prompts in quickly!

We have a new donor but no new prompter so far. Send your friends over, too!




We've reached the level where everyone who donates gets a second story! $10 until the first livewrite!

In other prompt-call news:

to_conjure has a prompt call open! The theme is heroes and villains.

See a story written to my prompt!

and see rix_scaedu's Foreign Holiday, also written to my prompt!
