I shall do that! In all the fuss I forgot about submittable.com existing.
Personally, I prefer ‘Relationships Gone Horribly Wrong,’ as I feel that’s a more immediately intriguing prompt.
Other possible theme ideas:
-anthro characters that were created by humans (for whatever purpose)
-seasonal - spring, summer, autumn, winter
-stories focused on strong female characters (bearing in mind that there is more than one way to be strong)
-the workplace - stories focused on jobs
-something species/family-specific (feline, canine, mythological, etc)
I have a few themes I’d like to submit for proposal:
- Learning (learning something new, old, well known, relearning; from someone younger, older, same age, &c)
- Crossing Barriers (literal physical barriers, psychological barriers, age barriers, &c)
- Across Generations (interaction or a story whose character ages are different, literally and figuratively, chronologically)
- Struggles (Internal, External; interpersonal, intrapersonal)
- Opening Doors (Things that are new; newness, special moment of ‘First Experience’, &c) [I particularly think this would be an excellent first theme for a new anthology]
Thank you!

Loving a lot of these new ideas! When I get home I’ll spend some time adding these.
If we’re not careful we’re going to have more themes than voters XD
Works for me! Well, I always wish there’d more voters in general but these topics will be saved for future projects.
New topic ideas will be closed in about 8 hours. I’ll create a new thread for voting and you will be able to vote until Sunday night. After that we will have our theme, and we will start to move forward a bit more with this.
Still looking for some judging help. Blind judging won’t work so well if I’m the only one doing it, afterall.
I’ve been watching this go and I do have a suggestion, if I may?
Music
If music be the food of love, sing on. A vibrant anthology of music and how it can mend the deepest wounds and bring together fierce tribes. Music is the universal language, what does it say to you?
This should be fun, regardless of the fwg membership
thank you for undergoing this process for us ^^
I shall add it to the list. Thanks for the support and welcome to the forums!
