unless you write the best essay, then you get $100 and a t-shirt.

actually, i've already commissioned two people to write essays of
their choosing, for $100 each.

(no t-shirt)

one of them is Dr Zen, and the other is a non-pixel friend of mine.

i've been meaning to ask a few other people as well, but haven't had
time to choose which ones yet.

probably Miz UV, for one.

and Dangerous Bill, for another.

and possibly a few more rascals from around these parts.

but i don't really need any new topics just yet, so i'm putting that
stuff off for a bit.

however, you're all welcome to work on the current two themes, if you
want to have some fun while at the same time helping moi, the creative
genius, to figure out how to work out the logistics of managing the
way the project will work in real life as i deal with your various
contributions, hence the introduction of the $100 and the shirt for
the best submitted essay.

to make it more worth your while to essentially goof off.

get it?

their own blatherings.
