From now until the 23rd of December I am open for prompts on the subject of winter festivals, including Christmas. If you're no good at prompts then you can leave me a random number and I'll write a story based on one of these themes for the character. You may also leave a prompt with a random number (or more) and I will write a story based on that prompt with those random characters in. Leave me a selection of all three if you wish.

For every prompt and random number I receive I will write 500 words, which will be posted. Each additional 500 words will cost £1.50, up to a limit of 6000 words (£18.00), if you want the words posted. Credits can also be used to buy extra words, 3 credits per 1000 words - up to a limit of 6000 words (18 credits), but in this case the words won't be posted and they'll be sent to you as a PDF.

Anyone who posts a link for this prompts session will receive another 500 words, which can be used for a prompt of their choice (this can be their own prompt or a story that they like that has been written during this prompts session). For every five people that post a link I'll write one extra story of at least 1000 words.

If I get £20 I will post one new piece of bonus material, which will be posted as soon as it is written, chosen by the donor whose donation gets me to this point.
If I get £40 I will write a story of at least 1000 words, which will be posted as soon as it is written, chosen again by the donor whose donation gets me to this point.
If I get £60 I will make all the stories written to prompts into an ebook, which will be emailed to everyone who has donated.
If I get £80 I will write one new piece of bonus material that will only be available in the ebook.
If I get £100 I will write one story of at least 1000 words that will only be available in the ebook.
For every £25 after the £100 I will add another bonus story or new piece of bonus material to the ebook.
If I get £200 I will make a second ebook with at least 10 new stories in, of at least 1000 words, set in a collection of the donors choice, and 2 pieces of bonus material, which will be emailed to all the donors.
If I get £250 I will add at least three new stories which will only be available in the ebook and one piece of bonus material.

Everyone who prompts or leaves a random number will be entered into a draw to name a character in a collection chosen at random.

Everyone who donates will be entered into a draw to name a character in a collection of their choice. Any donation will get your name entered once and then for every £3 donated the donor will have their name entered again, up to a limit of eleven times for £30, and for every 5 donors there will be another draw, up to a limit of ten draws (50 donors).

The same person will not be eligible to win both the prompter's draw and the donor's draw, but it will be possible for someone to win more than once in the donor's draw. If this happens, due to new naming rules, the donor will be able to name more than one character or they can choose to receive a story of at least 1000 words about their newly named character.

If I reach £60 in donations I will also enter all donors into a draw in which they can name a permanent stucture. Any donation will get your name entered once and then for every £3 donated the donor will have their name entered again, up to a limit of eleven times for £30, and for every 10 donors there will be another draw, up to a limit of five draws (50 donors). Anyone who wins this draw more than once will be able to choose between naming a second permanent structure and receiving at least 1000 words of story about their named permanent structure.

Christmas: What is Christmas like in the Afterlife? Do the spirits or angels observe it, or does it only affect people like Death who still traffic closely with the mortal world?

Yule: How does Anna spend Yule? I'm thinking Christmas with the relatives could be miserable all around, but Lloyd might be enticed to share Yule with her -- or at least be worth buying a gift for.

Gregorian New Year: a vampire from the Donor House is involved in a drunk-driving car accident. How will the other vampires and donors back at the house respond?

Must go boost the signal now.

This makes me think of intercalary days! The Gregorian calendar doesn't have those but some others do. When we designed the calendar for Torn World (http://www.tornworld.net/settingpageview.php?id=65), we built in 5 intercalary days between the last month of the old year and the first month of the new. It's an Empire-wide holiday.

Come to think of it, in the modern calendar, Leap Year's Day is technically a winter day, though not a holiday as such. So...

Leap Year: Someone decides to revive the custom that on Leap Year's Day, the woman is allowed to propose to the man.
