Although, wouldn't it be rather redundant to have seven stories that all describe the same concept, in a very similar way?  I don't have much to say personally, so mine would be a lot like a narrative with a little bit of point thrown in there, but probably deep enough that anyone who read it would go "Neat story." and never really think about it again.  Not even at 3am the next day.
The bun-sellers or cake-makers were in nothing inclinable to their request; but,which was worse,did injure them most outrageously,called them prattling gabblers,lickorous gluttons,freckled bittors,mangy rascals,shite-a-bed scoundrels,drunken roysters,sly knaves,drowsy loiterers,slapsauce fellows,slabberdegullion druggels,lubberly louts,cozening foxes,ruffian rogues,paltry customers,sycophant-varlets,drawlatch hoydens,flouting milksops,jeering companions,staring clowns,forlorn snakes,ninny lobcocks,scurvy sneaksbies,fondling fops,base loons,saucy coxcombs,idle lusks,scoffing braggarts,noddy meacocks,blockish grutnols,doddipol-joltheads,jobbernol goosecaps,foolish loggerheads,flutch calf-lollies,grouthead gnat-snappers,lob-dotterels,gaping changelings,codshead loobies,woodcock slangams,ninny-hammer flycatchers,noddypeak simpletons,turdy gut,shitten shepherds,and other suchlike defamatory epithets; saying further,that it was not for them to eat of these dainty cakes...

Worked for the Bible...might work for the BIP.

The idea isn't to have literally everyone write a piece, but for those who don't like the BIP metaphor to write their own metaphors that they are more comfortable with.  The point is to show that the underlying idea is what's important, not the medium through which it is described.

Quote from me on plan of action reposted here for relavence....

(quote)

Proposed title:
How to Survive the Black Iron Prison: A field User's Guide

1) keeps the spirit of the original title but mututes it so people needing to change it for changes skae are happy.
2) indicates a slightly hopefull premise and thus makes some of the negativiety in the contnent writing seem more tongue in cheek, which was my big gripe (though even then, I'd still recomend reworking a few areas).
3)Is assanine (and it should be).
4)(imo)Represents the actual mission of the book, to help one understand their own limitations and make a life mission of expanding the walls, breaking them down and building up new ones... to raise awareness of what we are actually doing so that we can take a more active role in our own lives.   It is impossible to escape BIP, but you can rearrange it, be an agent of change per se.  After reading a lot of the BIP material (the original pamphlet, and some forum and wiki) I really think that this actually represents the mission accopmlished by the BIP VS what the whatever original mission was (to include it as some sort of extentsion of the PD). 

As writing is old hat for me I'd have to say that when titleing, only do so when done though.  This way you can actually represent what it is presented as a whole rather than box yourself in to a confined space of writing.  Instead this gives you the ability to roam where you need to with the work instead of try and conform to some preset doctrine you have in your psyche.

At this point, I believe there only two things that are going to stop him.

1.  His connection going down
2.  HIMEOBS

Ok, the fact that "Black Iron Prison" is a PKD ripoff has come up a few times, so I hereby announce a challenge:


Please come up with a new name for the BIP metaphor.  Hopefully, one that can still use the original essays with only minor edits.



Go.

Cain used that term about a year ago, but for the act of ESCAPING the BIP, not the BIP itself.

Jail break is actually a better name for it imo.  Always better to focus on the solution rather than just curse the problem, thereby exacerbating it, unless you're a masochist, which a lot of people are.  A lot of people tend to be absolute pessimists, to their own detriment.  Welp, time for my daily lemon juice blood bath.  Hey, how about renaming it to masochist's paradise?
So long, and thanks for all the shit.

Wait.  What?  Discussing the BIP is masochism?

Well, of course...examining a problem is the same as wallowing in it.
