The premise for this single question game is pretty simple. There will be a list of ten single question topics. As an author, you choose one of the ten topics and write a question on it. After you have chosen your topic, you remove it from the list and add a topic you want to give to other authors at the bottom. Here are some quick rules:
1. In your post, you should include the topic you are taking and the new list with the topic you have added at the bottom. There should always be 10 topics.
2. Please don’t choose a topic that you have added to the list previously. Try one that another player has offered.
3. You must finish submitting the single question you have claimed before claiming a new one.
4. You may post twice or more in a row as long as you are following rules 2 and 3.
5. If two players have posted at the same time, the first player gets first dibs. If you haven’t chosen the same topic, the second poster can always re-post with the updated list.
I think that should cover it.

May I have Kurt Vonnegut, please? As soon as one of the five questions I have pending editorial review in my queue is cleared, I will boost it up like Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket to Literature. May I add "mondegreen" in its place? As an aside, this will bring the population of my nominees on this list up to five (!) which seems like more than a reasonable share. One remedy would be for me to stop seizing brilliant ideas from this list and leaving my own poor substitutions in their place. The other would be for the authors reading this to extend themselves just a bit more vigorously, thereby reducing my share. I encourage the latter.
