Creative freedom this week, that's good and bad hehe.

@millycf1976 one question ends as usual in 3 days?
Greetings

[millycf1976]

Hello @soychalbed
Yes, it's different with more freedom. People really need to think of the plot and get creative. This way all the stories should be individual, and it's interesting to see the different things people come up it.

Yes, The contest ends on Wednesday as usual. Sorry, I had missed the Countdown Timer Setting:)
Thanks for the question.
