In view of the success of the previous Image Poll for the 300 Worder, we thought we'd have another this quarter, so once again instead of the mods choosing the inspiration image, you lot will!
We've again picked four images from which you can choose, trying to have a spread of images to fit SF and fantasy and general indeterminate speculative fiction but, of course, you're not bound by our thoughts on what category any image might fall into.
To repeat what I said last time, when we mods choose an image, we look for one which we hope will generate the most entries and the most diversity of stories, so perhaps bear that in mind when voting. Or vote for the one that most appeals to you or which plants an immediate story in your head. The important thing is to vote!
Even if you don't think you'll write a story this quarter, or none of the images inspire you, vote anyway. (Then try and write a story -- we want as many as possible!)
This is also a Discussion thread, so do chat here about the images and/or the forthcoming Challenge which will start on 1 January.
The poll will stay open until 10pm GMT on December 30th which should give everyone time to have a look and vote despite all the Christmas and New Year frenzy! As usual, the poll is open, so everyone will be able to see who voted and how.
Anyhow, on with the voting! The images are:
NB We always get consent to use images before we put the 300 Worders up, but we've been a bit slow in getting our act together backstage so we're still waiting to hear from one member about his picture. If he wins the poll, but we don't hear from him before 1 January we'll use the second placed image instead, but then -- providing he agrees! -- we'll probably chose his image for April's Challenge.
