The bonus theme was
Walking the Beat. I worked from 12:30 AM to 3 AM, so about 12 hours 30 minutes allowing for breaks. It got off to a slow start because I didn't get any prompts for over an hour. Participation was low, with only 10 prompters. There were 27 comments on LiveJournal and another 10 on Dreamwidth.
I wrote 8 poems on Tuesday and another 3 later, all free verse. Some were single-prompt, others a combination. They ran long, although I had some below epic length. There were no new prompters or donors.
