Reminders!

Hi everyone, please remember to vote in our 2022 Long Challenge Poll as soon as you can!

I want to get something kicked off for our first long challenge asap as it should be starting on 16 Jan. The three current front-runners in the poll are Bingo, Pool Party and Songfic, so we'll probably use one of these for the 16 Jan to 28 Feb challenge, and I may just pick Songfic, as it hasn't been used as a challenge here since... I can't remember, so it's wonderful to suddenly see it being so popular! Time for a change, I feel! ;-)

Anyway, if you've got thoughts about helping run this particular challenge and you're keen to kick it off on 16 Jan, let me know in comments here!

As for the rest, please vote! I need to break a tie, and decided if we're going to run a few of the low voted challenges as a side to some of the more popular ones. Only 16 people have voted so far, and I know we have more people who would like to play! ;-)

Also, don't forget to let me know if you want to volunteer to run a Weekend Challenge (or 2-3), at the linked post! I want to try and get the roster up a bit quicker than I have in recent years, so by the end of Friday would be great! ;-)

PS: I haven't forgotten we need new counters for 2022, either. I aim to get these up on Sunday my time (Sat. for most parts of the USA).

Daily count challenge to Dreamy!

So far I have not been nearly as productive in January as I wanted to be or hoped to be, but I did get about 500 words written last night for an exchange fic that is due soon, so I'm pleased with that.

Today is Dreamy's turn — I wish you all the luck and creative inspiration!

HOW TO USE TESSERACT IN A SENTENCE
Something—something like a Klein Bottle—or a tesseract—or maybe both of them together.
WHAT ROUGH BEAST?|JEFFERSON HIGHE

A line has one dimension, a square has two, a cube has three, and a tesseract has four.
WAIT FOR WEIGHT|JACK MCKENTY

A cube can be unfolded into six squares, and a tesseract unfolds to eight cubes.
WAIT FOR WEIGHT|JACK MCKENTY

The hypercube or tesseract is described by moving the generating cube in the direction in which the fourth dimension extends.
THE MYSTERY OF SPACE|ROBERT T. BROWNE

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.
