I definitely think I will enter this year. Space is such a broad theme Im sure I'll have to be extra creative.

Is it allowed to have a photographic element of the entry that isn't your own? I read the rules, that "all entries must be the original work"... but can you have a photo backdrop for a setup if you didn't take that background photo?
A bit last minute, I'm thinking about sending a second entry, but the background would be an image from a book.

Yes, that's okay. Just note it in your comments.

It never occurred to me until a couple of days ago, that I should have scoped out the old visitor center at work. When they relocated it, they left behind a lot of the old space related displays. Totally blew that opportunity. Although I'm paranoid that security would show up to ask me what the heck I'm doing there. Maybe the next time I'm over there for a meeting in the auditorium, I'll bring a mini and my camera. At least I'd have an excuse for being in the building.
Anyways, I've been totally stumped for an idea until about a week ago. So I should be able to get at least one entry together before the deadline.

I might enter if I can manage to think of an idea in the next day, but I've gone this entire time with nothing so I doubt that'll happen. XD

Great ideas that all require appropriate costumes and backgrounds, aliens and other props. That's the part I was struggling with.

KiraKira: how about your Dal playing video games with an alien?
CornflowerBlue: all you need is one alien and any costume/background will do!
