Outdoor Sex!!! I mean the snow is gone, the grass is starting to green, the trees are budding... let's take our cues from the mating season... but do it outside!

I also must say the dog one had me laughing. I would be horrified if that happened to me. I applaud the calm and graceful manner that they were able to carry on, after the hour or so of uncomfotable feelings.

Even though the words were ... more
Ahhhh that's very constructive criticism, Woman China. I think you are right that the story would have more impact if it were broken up a bit with paragraphs.

I think spring would be a great topic! Just anything spring related? Like rain, and flowers, and all that jazz?

God that sounds nice. It is still 32 degrees and a few inches of snow on the ground here.

I agree Spring would be a perfect topic. Lots of ideas to work with, which is helpful if I attempt trying something this time.

We've been warming up a bit here, reaching the mid-40's most days. Night is still around 28 or so.

So do we want to make it a complete spring theme? Or do two seperate topics plus our story continuation category?

We got rain last week, and I think it's supposed to rain more this week.

Hmm, can you think of anything else? Spring and all things related, plus a story continuation sounds good to me, but what about an oddball?

There are a few observances/holidays in April besides April Fools Day.

Poetry Month
Stress Awareness Month
National Humor Month

Along with some others... maybe this could be useful, maybe not

We could do something like 'Spring' as a theme...make it all things spring which would, of course, include fertility as a theme. You know running nekkid outdoors because it's nice and warm!

I am drawing a blank as to what our other topic should be though!

I was on this one site a little while ago, and they came up with five random words that you had to find way to use them in the dialogue of your story. Making for some very interesting and quirky stories. Would you all enjoy something liek that?

Name the topic, "Spring is in the Air" and get the song stuck in everyone's head.

This idea sounds interesting. It would make for some creativity beyond the excellence that has already been displayed by all the writers.
