Something I notice lacking from every WIP so far is any sense of sin; they may be pretty or witty, but not sinful. Maybe it's because we don't believe in sin any more - or am I just missing the point again?
As to the poor turnout for some challenges - where you have Premier League artists competing with Sunday-afternoon-in-the-park players, where's the challenge? How about "themes for an exhibition" where everyone can enteron equal terms, with no winners or losers? Or perhaps one vote for "Best in Show" to please the more competitive types among us?
Things just are, then they ain't.
