I'm open to any suggestions which can make things more accessible and interesting for people, but to be honest, I don't quite (is that right Nordlys 😉 ) get you.
Do you mean to leave the series category open for a couple of weeks, while running the next category as well??? Sounds like a good idea if anybody is interested in trying to get something to ...[text shortened]... y wish.
Having said that, if your suggestion is what I think it is, then I like it. 🙂

So for instance
"Series" will run for 3 weeks.
"next cat" as normal, but starting nowish and the following the next week.
That way there isnt a 3 week lul, but people still have plenty of time to get a series done.

Now, the next category... I'm kind of anticipating confusion/difficulties regarding this one as well. Here's what I've said about it so far...
7. Poverty??? (I'd like this to be more of an exploration of what may be conceived as poverty, rather than 'Look, there's a crap house, with poor people sitting outside. Quick, lets huck rocks at them'😉 I'll leave it up to your own discretion
and...
Basically, I've got a pic of a run down house, where its clear the people are pretty impoverished, but the surroundings make you think, "sure they may be poor in materialistic possessions, but look where they live"
That is my idea of the round, but unlike in the Natural Light round, my thoughts on the round aren't concrete. I'll give you the artistic license to capture poverty as you see fit, whether its a run down house, a torn curtain, an old bike, whatever. Work your magic.
Are we happy with leaving the Poverty round open until next Monday, that gives everybody a weekish.
In the meantime, get cracking on the "Series" round. It'll be run either after this round, or if people tell me they are making progress but aren't quite there yet, then after the "Self" round. Jesus, that's another tricky round. Are people planning on entering that one?

Originally posted by RagnorakI started thinking it would be interesting to experiment with the subject. But I have no idea if I'll come up with something, and if that round should be earlier than planned (i.e. before "Series" ), I almost certainly won't make it. First I'd have to fill a whole film roll, then I'd have to send it in and wait about one week to get it back, and then I'd still have to do the cutting, framing and scanning. Maybe I should rather start working on the chess round.

Flightless bird: the dodo.
Yes. THEY'RE EXTINCT!!!
If that's the best proof you can come up with to support your ailing theories about birds, please....

Yeah. You're probably right. I should lay off the hashish.

Ok, I think everybody (including me) is a bit confused at this stage. Nordlys, you seem to have your head on your shoulders. Could you be a star and sort out this mess? Let us know which round is currently open, deadlines and all that. 😀 I'd love to, but the celebration drinks went on a bit late last night, and I can just about tie my own shoelaces today.
Thanks,
