The June theme was "alternative sexuality and gender studies." A handful of prompts arrived early, some trickled in through the day, and then another flurry came right at the end. (If I stay up late enough, my farside fans are in daylight and thus more active.) There were 81 comments, including a fair bit of crosstalk. I worked from 1 PM to 2 AM, so about 11 hours accounting for breaks. Most of the poems were medium-long, with one short, a few medium-short and long, and several epics. I wrote 20 poems, all free verse except for one epistolary. Most came from single prompts, with a few combinations.
A total of 19 people sent prompts. Welcome to new prompters
rowyn,
aoifes_isle, and
heavenscalyx, who are partly responsible for the second freebie poem. No serial perk this time, though; donations were lower this month, which often happens in summer.
