Here's the second assignment/topic for our finalists:

The best of ...
or
The worst of ...

Again, this is intentionally vague and open-ended. But you can take your pick of wanting to write about something that you deem "the best" of something or "the worst" of something. What's "something?" Totally up to the authors: game, play, team, event ... you name it.

Topic choice is often as important as the writing itself, so giving authors the freedom to choose their own path and seeing where they take it, is one of the ways we will be, and have been, evaluating entries.
