Can't we do something simple that results in one or two quality pieces from each of the participants?
That is always an option, actually. I wrote one story for B2MeM last year that used something like eight prompts. Some of that was because I didn't have time because I was stamping an insane amount of cards. :) But, at the same time, I definitely prefer to create a single short story to five drabbles. I was and still am proud of the single story I created.
It is never required to complete the full month's worth of prompts. Some people choose to do so but, what often gets lost is that the vast majority do not! :) A good many don't write for more than one or two prompts. So it is really your choice, when we run daily prompts (and I don't know if we will again this year or not, but it's admittedly been something we've done more often than not in the past), if you want to tackle a prompt a day or pick the ones that speak most to you and focus on them. There are also never deadlines for "handing in" a finished piece, although last year we did have claim deadlines for stamps, mostly to save the sanity of the volunteers who were stamping.
One thing I can promise: There will never be a minimum requirement for participation. It will never be "try to do all 31 prompts or don't even bother!" People will be welcome to write one thing or 31 things; it's up to them to decide which.
