Okay, so we have "Colonisation" as next month's theme. That can cover all different kinds of stories - the establishment of a colony and survival against a planet's hostile environment; the exploration of a planet to locate a suitable spot for a colony; or things taking place within an established colony, usually political, where the remote colony itself serves as a "bottle" to isolate the protagonists and antagonists from any possible external aid.
Even a failed colony can have story potential - can a doomed colony's remnant population survive with all external support cut off?
The theme seems so broad in scope that, in truth, we need a shortlist of titles for the meeting, which exemplify the themes we wish to explore.
The process of working out a suitable shortlist will take a week, maybe two, in order to give everyone a chance to pick their title, chase it down and read it - if they haven't got it already.
