Contest 48 submissions will close Thursday, May 10, 5 pm EDT (9 pm GMT).

We only write prose, the vast majority of the time, so I'm curious: Do you choose the subject or the format first when writing? That is, do you decide you're writing about X and as a result it'll be a poem/short story/screenplay/whatever, or do you decide you're writing a poem/short story/screenplay/whatever and as a result it'll be about X?
