This issue goes a long way to prove the fact that we, as writers, like to play by our own rules, that it's wholly unlikely that if given the exact same prompt, two of us will ever write the same thing. Discuss.

That's what's so great about TK. Seeing that we are all so different it's pretty cool to see the different spins we take with the prompt. The allowance for different types of characters and plots also means there will be a variety and we know that's definitely a great thing to have. So while the story is the same, we'll always find a way to keep things interesting.

If you were flying solo on a cargo vessel several years into deep space, just like Armitage Shanks, what five items would you need to adequately pass the time?

Music, a Kindle, access to the ScoreMobile app, a notebook, and a Spanish book.

In 'The Same Effing Story,' Armitage Shanks is named after a company renowned for making certain porcelain bathroom fixings. If you could be named after any real-life company, which company would that be, and why?

Lol, toilets? I would want to be named after Tesla. The cars are cool and so is the name.

Is this the kind of issue you'd like to see and be a part of again? Why?

Definitely. As someone who's not the most confident as a writer (e.g I think I suck) having a prompt works quite well for me. Not only does it help keep me on track, but it also allows me some space to work with when writing the story. I would most certainly be a part of something like this again if you'll have me.
