Since February marks the two year anniversary of the Two Word Challenge, I thought it would be fun for the members of the group to choose their favorite response to a Two Word Challenge and share it with the group as well as all of Gather. To participate, locate your favorite response to any of the past or current Two Word Challenges and add the following icon to your article as an image:
To use this icon in your best Two Word Challenge post, simply right click on it and choose "Save Picture As", select an easy to find place on your computer to save it, then go to the post you want to indicate as your best TWC post, choose edit (on the article page, edit is located near your name and title), then click on add an image. Next you will choose the "browse my computer" option. Go to the location where you saved the icon and select it. Choose upload and the icon will upload. Enter a caption if desired as well as tags, then click save. You will then need to indicate that you wish to return to your article. You can then drag and drop the image to the beginning of your article. Your text will wrap around the icon and will show in search results beside your article, making your post stand out amongst the crowd.
Once you have added this logo to your selected post, come back to this article and leave a comment with a link and a discription of the post you have chosen, indicating which Two Word pair your post was about. When you do this, you are agreeing to read and comment on the other entries which are provided as links in other comments on this article. This will be a fun way to share your favorite response to the Two Word Challenge.
Not familiar with the Two Word Challenge? Well, read on to find out how you can participate in this fun group and see all the past Two Word Challenges.
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) 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.

Good one!
My best response was probably to the first one, My Interpretation of Bottled Promise
But then I deleted a lot of articles and that's one of the only one's I still have left that was for a Two Word Challenge. Maybe I'll look back into my archives for others and repost. Lord knows, I can't seem to create anything new these days!

This is a nice idea Monica. I am a little surprised that so few people have responded to your hard work. Maybe it will take others a little more time because they have written more than I have. It was very easy to choose between 2, ha ha!
Word of warning, It's tagged for adults.
