 Good Morning and Welcome to Idol MInor+! 

I'm Gary, your host. (AKA clauderainsrm) 

This is going to be an interesting experiment that will last, I don't know, maybe a month and half. We'll have to see how it goes. :) But that's the plan anyway. 

For those of you coming in with no limited knowledge of Idol - just a couple ground rules:

When I post a prompt - it's a springboard for your creativity. Post whatever it is that you want to write (there is no restrictions on format. It can be a story, poem, art, songs - literally, whatever it is that it inspires you to create, that is welcomed here.) 

Whatever your thing ends up being - you post it in your space and link it to the original prompt post. 
Then you check out what other people have created and leave them comments! (and they will be doing the same for you!) 

It's pretty straight forward, but in the 15 years I've been running this community, there is always at least one person who gets confused.  :) So I like to spell it out. 

For those who ARE familiar with Idol, there are a couple differences worth noting

There is no voting. So that natural flow of reading everyone's work in order to see who you want to vote for isn't going to be there. I'd encourage you to check out some new people's work/change it up.

That also means that there are no "byes" or penalties for not writing in any given week. Show up when you can show up.  (But obviously if people stop showing up , that will impact how long this will continue) 


Idol Minor has Playgrounds, not Green Rooms. Take that to heart and have fun! Leave whatever baggage from your day that you are carrying at the edge of the park.  :) 

I hope to capture some of that fun everyone enjoys from the mini seasons we run for kids in this project.  But then again, the prompts are coming from Idol Patrons. So who knows how dark those are going to be in comparison!  ;) 
The first prompt will be posted later today.  Until then, mingle, get to know each other... check out the swing set and slides over there!

 I was going to keep the prompts light and happy - the same way I do for the kids. But then I decided to let the Patrons submit their ideas... and well, you know how Idolers are.  :) 

So your first prompt of Idol Minor+ is

"There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days" 

The deadline to link your entry back to this thread is Monday, November 1st at noon ET. 

Have fun! 

(just as a reminder, this thread is for the links ONLY.  All other commentary should go into the Playground)
