Next week (23rd Feb – 1st March) is Draft Amnesty Week — the week when we post incomplete or scrappy posts without judgement. The core idea behind draft amnesty week is that a lot of us have half-written or half-thought-through ideas sitting around somewhere, which will never see the light of the Forum without a week like this.

However, the reputational cover of draft amnesty week also helps people who want to write their first post without judgement, or whip together a quick post on a subject they aren't sure about.

I'm publishing this thread now (along with What would you like someone to write?) to help authors brainstorm some ideas. You can use it however you like — to get some reactions to posts you plan on writing, have already written, or don't plan to post during the event. I'd recommend that you post each idea as a different answer, though, so that people can react to them separately.
