You could go with something totally out there.

Like zombies evolve, and by the 5th generation they're running their own society far superior to ours.

Excellent!

There's a lot more interest here than in the writing forum. 3 responses in under 2 hours, whereas my writing forum thread has had 0 responses in 20 hours.

Indeedy. How long does it go on for? A week?

I'll try and get as many people interested as possible during this.

The deadline is July, but after this week interest will go right down.

Sounds interesting. Not a genre I usually write in, but I guess I'll work on it once the event is over.
