The whole "Two Word" concept began on Feb 1st, 2006 when David L. wrote the poem, If I Gave You Just Two Words. This poem was designed to challenge every Gather member to take just two words and interpret them in writing and share them with us all. The first two words he challenged were Bottled Promise. The challenge quickly took off and has provided a lot of inspiration and reading enjoyment for many Gather members. To celebrate the Two Word Challenge Group's two year anniversary, I asked if Dave would issue us another challenge, and he was happy to do so. His challenge word pair is Sacred Consent. You can check out his response to his challenge at the link below, and be sure to let him know how much you love the two word challenge. If you are new to the challenge, check out the rules below. Have fun!

The Two Word Challenge Rules:
A word pair is issued to the group, (past examples: Bottled Promise, Sibling Torture, Fuzzy Edges, Coddled Sanity) and the challenge is to post an article, poem, story, picture . . . somehow using the announced "two words" as closely as challenged (Bottled Promises, Sibling's Torture, Fuzzy Edge, Coddle Your Sanity all accepted variations, but try to use the words as issued). It's as simple as that!
Post your entry to the Two Word Challenge Group (and to all of Gather too, if you like) and tag the article with 'two words' and then the current two words, like this:
two words, sacred consent,
All Two Word Challenges need to be kept PG to permit everyone to participate. Non- PG Interpretations of the Two Words are fine, as long as you flag your article appropriately.
There is no deadline. You can do these at any time.
You can also write about any of the previous Two Word Challenges. Check out Two Word Challenges Past to Present to see the complete rules as well as all of the previous Two Word Challenges.
If anyone feels a group submission is inappropriate, feel free to contact the group owner or moderator (see below).
If you have a suggestion for a future Two Word Challenge, send a private message to Monica Zenberg - Group Owner (daydreambeliever) and CC Kathryn Esplin-Oleski - Group Moderator (kathryneo) with the details of your idea(s).
Please remember that ONLY submissions pertaining to the Two Word Challenge(current or past challenges) will be accepted to the Two Word Challenge Group. Off topic submissions will be declined.
