I haven't ignored it, I have just been busy. I think, if we are to have one, we need a theme. I wouldn't mind your thought son "a setting" versus "The first paragraph", versus "here is a short story. Now continue it" (I have one in mind of you opt for that, and it is not a trivial one!).

I don't guarantee to take your ideas as a ballot. I just want to get the ideas you have in some sort of order.

A friend of mine and I had loads of fun writing the continuation of a short story of yours once. I'd rather have that than a plot outline to have to adhere to, myself.

Sounds like fun, tho!

I suggest keeping the theme general like you did with the summer contest before. It allows leeway for creativity!
