I've got 2 days, right? More company coming for the weekend so I'd better get a move on.
Yes, two days.
...though given how the rest of the thread has been going, I could certainly extend it a bit

Thank you for that 
This month has been a real slog, hasn't it?
Our next participants will not be able to post until after September 20. So, rather than lie dormant, it's announcement time!
1. Topic nominations for October = Open
Nominate a topic or choose one from our previous nominations:
Bravest thing you have ever done
Daydreams
Desert island |
Character that everyone would love or hate
Character with a slingshot!
Computer problems
Heat
Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my! |||
Most memorable autumn |
The number seven
Planetary romance
Post without using the letter E
Princesses gone mad
Randomized prompts (using Seventh Sanctum)
2. Remember to comment on your peers' posts!
I have been a bit lax about this myself for the last couple of months and have not been providing a good example. But I'm going to use the lull to go back and retroactively fill in a bunch of owed comments We should all, going forward, resolve to make fun and/or substantive comments for our peers as required by the rules

Certainly not! Shall I add you to the list? We are waiting for some people who can't post until after September 20 so, if you want, you can post right now!

Sounds great, throw me in
So it's a short piece with a steampunk, retro-future angle, right?
Cheers
Excellent, thanks.
SJNew is now up, as it's September 20. We also need more votes or suggestions for the next blog chain.

This would normally be where I bump SJNew. But as asnys can't post until after 9/25, there's really no point.
In the meantime, please break the 17-way tie for next month's topic or suggest a new one.

I vote Lions, Tigers, and Bears Oh my!
And I'll try to get my post done, I still don't quite understand steampunk. lol My computer was in the shop for a few days now it's back.

I vote Lions, Tigers and Bears oh my! Unfortunately just did a post on bears but lions are something I'd love to post about, probably with a bit from my current WIP if that's okay.
Now that it's the 25th, I can finally bump SJNew in favor of asnys. But we're so far off the rails this month that I'm not holding out hope of anyone actually posting any further content Do remember to comment if you haven't yet done so, though!
In related news, the scary topic for October will be "Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!" Sign up here!

When did XKCD do hurricane nuking?
Frag it, if I'd known this was already out there I'd have picked something else...

Thank you for letting me go last. I didn't post anything just yet, but I enjoyed reading all your entries. I've never read steam punk, but I've heard the term before and had become curious. Now I know what it is, but for the life of me am stuck with writer's block when I think of this theme.
The only thing that is coming to my mind is...
I'm working on it today! lol
