The featured series for this bonus session was
Fiorenza the Wisewoman. I worked from 12:45 PM to 1:45 AM, so about 11 hours 30 minutes, allowing for the usual breaks. Prompts trickled in throughout much of the day. I wrote 10 poems on Tuesday and another later.
The length ran long, just over half epics, with several long poems and one medium-short. Most were free verse, with a single villanelle. Most combined multiple prompts. I also filled a few squares on my
Dark Fantasy Bingo Card.
Activity was low, as it often is in the mid-month fishbowls. There were 30 comments on LiveJournal and another 7 on Dreamwidth. A total of 13 people sent prompts. There were no new prompters or donors, though.
