Attn: Gatchamania
I've been hit by an idea (and, boy, have I got one doozie of a black eye!) 
Anyway, I was wondering: what if we did something that was kind of a cross between Bradbury's Jar and a Gift Exchange? It would work like this: all interested parties would PM me and I would send them a prompt. All participants would have to send their response to me by a certain date. I will post them without the authors' names, and the participants would have a couple of days to guess who wrote what. Then I will reveal the identities of all.
So, what do you all think?

I like the idea, I would hope it gets more interest to get off the ground.

That sounds like a fun idea.

I like this idea too.
Sounds fun.

I like what I've been hearing me so far!
Could you each do me a favor and contact some of the gang who used to participate but seem to have fallen by the wayside? I'm afraid my email list has fallen out of date. Thanks.

So I have sent group PM's to as many Gatch friends on my facebook page as I could find. It went out to about 18 people in 2 messages, so even if a few reply expressing an interest, then it may be enough.

I think it's a great idea! Could we dedicate it to Amethyst?

Yes! By all means, we should!
How does "Amethyst's Exchange" sound?

Thats a lovely idea...
I am flat out as usual with raising my 5 ninja's. (I have so much empathy for Nambu!)
As long as its not expected to be full stories I think I can manage some short ones.

I think this is a lovely idea. Maybe I could do a one-shot short prompt to get my writing brain back into working order!!!

A couple of people have said that they have lost the access to the forum, and are contacting Cep to restore it. If it doesn’t work out, we can continue updating them through email / Facebook etc.

Or maybe have them join Center Neptune Control? Just an idea.

I don't know if it's new, but there are certainly some people from this site there as well:

Second edit: I just checked it again -- it's the message board of Jason's BoTP website!

He started it a few years ago, but quite a few of us are there. I just saw Ebony, you're the newest member. Every Sunday Bit has been posting comic books from other countries, the link is only good for a week so make sure you check in for it, if it's a thing you're interested in.
