Let me shed some light on you
and you just couldn't!
I know you'd probably start searching guides on how to come up with topics, but they probably won't give you one straight up.
Well what about those of us who can come up with topics we just don't like enough to make lenses about? Well I'm going to be nice. If I come up with a decent topic, and it doesn't have too many lenses on it, I'll write it here. You can find specific topic ideas for your future lens right here.
Topics are automatically "dead" after 1 week, but may die beforehand if they reach the lens limit. 3 new topics are posted every Monday (unless something happens to me). If you favorite the lens, you can receive squidcasts when new topics are put up.

Rules
1. You must claim your topic via guestbook or via email (squimpleton@gmail.com) so that I may link to you. I link to 3 lenses on the topic - unless otherwise stated - and once there is a 3d lens, the topic is officially dead.
2. You can only claim topics if you publish your lens.
3. You can only claim a "dead" (lens limited full) topic if yours is REALLY original - while still being under that topic.
Example Claim Message:
Hi Squimpleton, I'd like to claim [insert topic name]. My lens is located right here [insert url].
What happens if you do a lens but don't claim it? Why nothing of course! I don't mind. However if you claim it, I'll link to it from here. How can you possibly say no to a free link?
Topics Waiting For a Home
Topic 1: Sleep
So what exactly could be an eligible lens?
1. Most unconventional sleeping methods
2. Sleep accessories you've never heard of
3. How to ensure you wake up on time
4. Sleep in the media and its representation
5. Anything that is related to sleep
Do note I will feature 3 lenses even if they have the same focus. I may feature more even if the 3-limit has been filled if you lens is really unique.

- Hmm..Perhaps, though you already have a lens on that, but then again that can be a versatile topic. I think I'll use it, or at least a derivative of it, for Monday's next batch. Thank you for the suggestion.
Of course if I do use it, I'll be sure to link to your original lens as an example since it is technically your topic. :)
