Happy Saturn's/Saint Patrick's Day, Puzzlers!

Terror's new home on Wordpress - The Black Collar Bugle -  is now accepting art, poetry, and original flash fiction based on our prompts. Yes, you may recognise the prompts we have listed so far ;-) Psst, I have it on good authority that they will always be the same as ours. Weird huh?

Things are a bit different over there -  posting is weekly. There's no fan art/fiction allowed or personalized banners given. But the prompts never expire as they do here, and there's no prompt amount - word count rules. Word count limit is couplet/haiku - 2000.

Come check us out when you get a moment. I'd be thrilled to see some of you contribute.
