I think a Summer Shopping quest would be cool ... come up with your best urban setting shops!

Muro once did his "What the Heck is That?!" challenge, where he provided an unusual image and everyone had to write up a sub on it. Something like that again would be pretty cool. It would be a fun twist on the "Graphic Required" challenge idea.

Wow, that is a large quick reply box.

OK, thought of a challenge as I stalled with the picture.

How about I choose ten interesting words and they have to be used in the quest?

....and I won't use "llama" as one of them.

Got the idea from here: http://www.creativecopychallenge.com/

I agree, but to me that set of words they have on the post look too well-related to be all that difficult :P

Or use 10 random posts from the Free Word Association thread.

He is clothed in faded brown robes.
His craggy face is turned up, bathed in moonlight;
He looks for his goddess to smile upon him.

This is certainly an interesting quest. Sadly, it's not a simple, inspirational theme that easily conjures ideas. The mish-mash of usually unrelated words does nothing to inspire me. I'd like to participate, but I don't think I can make anything sensical out of the selected words. Also: Why are they all nouns? (or at the lest, words typically used as nouns) / I would have preferred some interesting adjectives or verbs, like the archaic word challenge. But I'm just nit picking. Good luck, Questors.
