I'm working on a challenge schedule that I will put forth possibly sometime this weekend, but I wanted to get things started by requesting theme sets for our new round. It's been a couple of years since this community has seen action so let me briefly explain how the submission process works.

The one constant is the O.G. - Five stages of love: attraction, romance, passion, intimacy, and commitment) and it will be one of the ten (10) theme sets you can choose from. The remaining nine (9) options are up to our members and readers to select.


I've added some of the theme sets used in previous rounds for your review, but please feel free to throw in your own. I'll collect your submissions, maybe next week to give everyone time to get theirs in, and then we'll vote on what will be up for grabs for this next round.

"What lovely flowers," Nagi said, sniffing the artistically-arranged bouquet.

"Yes," Mamoru said, holding a handkerchief across his face. "They were in Masafumi's greenhouse."

"Oh," Nagi said. He found himself smiling far too widely at Mamoru. "You have beautiful eyes."

"So I've been told," Mamoru said. He dropped the handkerchief and opened his arms as Nagi pounced. "I promise to still respect you in the morning."

Next morning, Nagi had a pounding headache and the strangest desire to crush people's heads. He wondered if Mamoru really was his beloved cousin.

What the hell, he thought. Mamoru was good-looking and fantastically rich.
