A Little Vocal Reciprocal Challenge
Introduction I think this is a good thing to try again This is just an idea I had for maybe bringing Vocal Creators closer together. I did produce this piece to add favourite creators to your profile a while back and while it got good feedback I've only seen a handful of people implement it, though I personally found it good for discovering new creators. If my friends like a creator, then the chances are I will also like their work.

A Tale Of Two Kitties
Introduction This is just another excuse to share pictures of some of the cats that I see on my walks, and that sometimes come to demand treats at my back door.

Auction
"We have our first item, you can peruse and examine it, to get an idea if you want it. I know you two will both want this, so I am expecting an aggressive bidding marathon, but when the hammer goes down, the hammer goes down, and it will be the end of the auction for this item".

Artificial Intelligence Decides A Vocal Top Story
Introduction This is a complete fiction, but I sometimes wonder how artificial intelligence can be used to make objective decisions on certain things. Even as I write this piece of fiction draft using Google Docs, there is a basic Artificial Intelligence running behind me, correcting my spelling, suggesting that my grammar is not correct and putting forward possible alternatives and sometimes getting it completely wrong. The intelligence doing that is called Grammarly, and at times it can be really annoying, but it is more than worth putting up with to help me produce something that is at least halfway readable by my audience. There is also the Google Docs checker that also tries to put me right, and between these two, you might get something without too many spelling and grammatical mistakes.
