Hi,

On November 10, 2001, we celebrated the fifth anniversary of ASSTR and several people came up with games, contests and festivals to celebrate the asupicious day.

One such game was proposed by Hecate, and aptly titled, "Hecate's Theme Game."

The way to play was simple:

• The writer would let Hecate know that he or she was interested in participating. Hecate would then use a random generator program on her computer to assign the writer a "theme." It could be anywhere from one word (piano) to a series of words (on the road).
  
  
• Each writer composed their story and sent it in to ASSTR. On November 10, 2001, the stories were posted with *THM* in the subject line.
