The condensed directions: Read the cue, react to the cue. There's no right answer, no research required. I cite sources where applicable but it's all about coming up with creative answers. Winners are picked in a week.

The number one rule? Have FUN!!!

About

What is it?
Seven Days Seven Answers is a daily opportunity for creativity. Each day of the week is assigned a category. A question, scenario, or some sort of prompt will be posted asking for you to respond. Every post will have a winning response which receives an award. The goal is to reach the Winners Circle by collecting a win on each of the seven days (or a combination of days and wildcards) and becoming an Ultimate Winner.

Where do I write?
You can either respond in the comments of the post or in a post on your own blog (provide a link in the comments for that cue).

How do I know if I'm responding correctly?
Cues are deliberately vague and open to interpretation. That's the point! Whatever springs to your mind as an "answer", that's the correct response.

How often can I answer?
Answer every day. Don't answer every day (though you risk making me cry). I don't even mind if you answer multiple times on an entry.

How long do I have to write? When are winners announced?
You can write on old prompts forever if you like. Winners will be announced in approximately one week.

How are winners chosen?
Winners can be chosen by any number of methods.
  • I'll pick the entry I like best
  • I'll let someone else pick the entry they like best
  • Poll
  • Random selection
  • Eeny meeny miney mo
  • Or whatever other method sounds good at the time

How do wildcards work?
Some days, instead of posting a prompt in the regular category, a wildcard will be posted instead. The winning response on that day will receive a special wildcard award which counts towards the "seven awards" on any day the participant is missing.

What do Daily Winners receive?
Daily winners receive their name (and a link to an appropriate website) on the daily winners page. They also receive the right to post the shiny winners button on their website if they want. In addition, winners receive the unwavering respect and serious street cred among their peers. From time to time, there may be small prizes given to a randomly-chosen daily winner.

What about the Ultimate Winners and the Winners Circle?
Winners who have collected wins for all 7 days will also receive their name (and a link) on the Winners Circle page. They may also receive a tangible prize but we'll deal with that when we get there.
