Excerpt: Welcome to ACRO*BATICS! As you may know, an acronym is a sequence of letters formed from the initial letters of a group of words. For example, in the case of a SWAT team, SWAT stands for Special Weapons And Tactics. In this game, however, you work in the opposite direction: I will provide a series of letters that will serve as an acronym, and your mission is to offer the most creative answer to the question of what that acronym represents.
Prompts: I think for this round it won't be specific prompts, but more an idea of what fall brings. After a long summer what have we to look forward too? Hay rides and Apple cider. The crisp air that tells us that winter is around the corner. The beautiful hues that only fall brings. Students heading off to college, are they leaving behind a summer love or high school girlfriend/boyfriend. Will it survive the separation?
Leaves begin to change color, the air becomes clear and crisp, romantic, sultry nights are quickly becoming memories. Does he or she begin to look at their summer love with a different perspective? Or does the change of season signal a romance that is only now beginning an era of longevity?

Prompt: Nothing creates unease more than the unknown. I can think of no better tool for a writer. For this round, tell me a tale of the mysterious, unknown, or just strange. Use the visuals for inspiration, if you like. I do not care as long as your piece follows the round's theme.
Prompt 1: Have you discovered a skeleton in your family closet? A pregnancy out of wedlock? Insurance fraud? Affairs?....Murder?
Prompt 2: Do you know what kinds of jobs your ancestors did? Where they rich or poor? Were they descended from royalty and born into luxury, or did they struggle to make a living? Did this career pass from father to son, from generation to generation? Are you still doing it now?
Prompt 3: Open - Do you have a great story to tell? Give us your best family jewel. What is buried under the dust in your attic?

Welcome to the Halloween Teen Party! *Delight* Here you can have fun and socialise with the "WDC Teens Corner " and fundraise for them. As teens, it can be a struggle to raise funds on WDC. We often can't buy GPs or Memberships with real money and it can be a struggle to review enough to earn enough through reviews. Exams are stressful things! Also, wouldn't it be awesome to have a "Teen" Merit Badge?
