We are calling for entries for a relay essay-style project: '#SharingMyFoodObsessionsInAutumn'!

Wow, that was really exciting, wasn't it?
The relay essay-style project '#ActuallyImXX'.

I've basically been adding everything I could confirm to the following magazine, and I think you all wrote about 50 pieces. Thank you so much!

So, let's try a second round.
It's a wonderful thing to be able to enjoy something together.

And you know what?
After continuing on note for four months and seeing everyone's posts, I've realized something.

Everyone puts so much passion into posts about eating.

Also, something I noticed from reading your posts is that what makes a note post interesting is when a person's specific obsessions come through.

Conversely, to put it bluntly, articles that are abstract and vague, or articles that don't feel like they have any love in them, are hard to get into as a reader.

For example, if there's love behind it, I can nod along and smile even if the language is a bit harsh or slightly critical.

So, when I thought about what kind of topic would best capture the passion you all have for various things—good or bad—I realized it had to be food!

And I thought it would definitely be more interesting if your deep-seated obsessions were visible.
The kind where you're so focused you don't even see what's around you.

So, what should we do?

I thought, why not have everyone write focusing on their 'obsessions'?

And so on.

Regarding this theme, I think it's fine if it leans a bit negative as long as there is a deep obsession. That is also a form of love, after all.

With an approach like food, whether it's about cooking yourself, table manners, restaurants, or even fiction, I think all sorts of thoughts, likes, and dislikes—and what you do based on those—will come out.

I would be happy to hear everyone's stories about food like that.

So, here are the submission guidelines.

Everything is free except for the requirement to use the tag and the specified period. While we have set a period due to the nature of the project, please feel free to write on this theme even after it ends. In fact, we encourage you to do so.

By the way, the reason I called it a 'relay essay-style' project rather than a relay essay itself is because I was inspired by a great call for entries from Akira Yamane's article, and since many of you participated in the previous 'relay essay-style' project '#ActuallyIAmXX', I decided to borrow the idea.

If this format makes it easier for everyone to participate, why not try it again? After all, the most important thing is that we can all get excited about the same theme.

So, if you have any questions, please ask in the comments section.

We look forward to your participation!
