  • No plagiarizing. At all. Anyone found plagiarizing will have their Seektober 2023 thread removed and will receive a site warning/infraction. Just don’t do it.
  • We know that creativity waxes and wanes, tis part of the creative process. The provided prompt lists are a set of guidelines that you do NOT have to do in order. If it is day 2 and you are feeling particularly inspired by something on day 15, go for it. Feeling drained and end up missing a day or two (or more - it happens)? Also not a problem and you can do multiple prompts in one day as necessary or set aside a day or two to marathon through them all. The point of Seektober 2023 is to nurture your creativity and try to encourage good creative habits!
