ShayWithThaHobbies | The Third Annual Missy Elliott Readathon | The Royal M. E. | #Iconology @ShayWithThaHobbies | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
It's that time again.

This year the theme for the Missy Elliott Readathon is The Royal M.E. and all the prompts come from the visuals for her Iconology EP, nothing more fitting for the icon herself.

We have 2 group reads and if you read the group reads you will hit all 6 prompts, so no need to stress over a TBR. This year's Group reads are Delicious Monsters by The One and Only Liselle Sambury and Out There Screaming the horror anthology edited by Jordan Peele.

~~PROMPTS~~
Prompt 1: Iconology- a story written by an iconic Black author
Prompt 2: Throw it Back- a story that is a genre mashup
Prompt 3: Cool Off- a story with a creative main character (writer, painter, dancer, artist, crocheter, etc)
Prompt 4: Dripdemeanor- a story with a dual point of view (POV)
Prompt 5: Why I Still love You- a story set in the past
Prompt 6: Why I Still Love You Acapella- a short fiction story written by a Black author

For the month of February I will be hosting evening/nighttime reading sprints on Wednesdays and Sundays.
