busyThere were several form poems this time. Most poems had small combinations of prompts, a few singles or stacks. Size was spread across all categories, though leaning medium to long with a good number of epics.
Activity was okay, with 45 comments on LJ and another 5 on DW. There were no new prompters, though.

The currently sponsored poems have been posted. I've sent copies of the rest to their respective prompters. Per the $200 goal, "The Demon in the Clockwork" is your free epic. Per the $250 goal, that's one tally toward a bonus fishbowl. Per the $300 goal, there is bonus material for A Conflagration of Dragons. Read about "The Six Races: An Overview." General fund polling is done.
I still need to do the donor perk-post. Donors this month include:
technoshaman, Stephen Laird, aldersprig, the_vulture, janetmiles, Anthony & Shirley Barrette, and rix_scaedu. After the fishbowl tally officially closed, I also got donations from tabard and moonwolf1988.
