Thanks! I’ll count you in!

I’M A GUY WITH SISTERS!!!!
She would have turned inside out, hit the roof, and had a hysterical conniption fit all at once!
You will love what you spend time with.
Yes! and I feel really bad for them!!!!
My brothers are never so mean. At least, not to us girls. They do terrible things to each other though, but around us they are true protective knights.

Oh hogwash. So you’re trying to telling me that your oh so knightly bros have never poked you, put you in a headlock, or jokingly threaten to plop something slimy, crawly, or moist upon thy personage?
You will love what you spend time with.
Actually, they have never put me in a headlock or threatened to put something nasty on me. (though they have done such things to one another.) They have poked me or kicked me under the table, but nothing horrid like you were suggesting. They are gentlemen in the highest regard. Mom and Dad taught them that. They said they are not allowed to treat us girls like boys, and they are not allowed to be rough or unkind, but must protect us and treat us as girls should be treated.
Of course we’ve spared and grappled together, but that’s different. That’s training.

Thank you!!! I love all of your feedback to us writers! It’s very edifying for myself concerning my writing to hear your thoughts!
Congratulations!!! *confetti spraying everywhere* I was thinking you might win after I read your story! Perhaps you can give the prompt now, but give it a longer deadline since some people couldn’t finish their story on time (like me!)

Really!? You thought i was going to win?! I thought you or elshavit would!
Okay, I’ll give a longer deadline.
I’m currently pushing to finish a chapter in a book I’m writing, but I’ll think of one after that.

Yeah, I seriously thought you’d get 1st place. And you did!
Wow. I’m super honored you thought I might potentially win. I guess it’s that self-comparing thing, perhaps not a quality character trait to have. It’s something to work on internally.

wow. Thanks you!
No I thought you’re was so good, and after that ending I had literal chills and I was like, “oh, that’s the one!”

Ah, poor lass. . . So horribly neglected. Thy brothers need some roguery injected into there spines. 😢
You will love what you spend time with.
Oh, no they don’t. They have PLENTY! You should see them, with a group of guys after church, or even with each other. Just because a man knows how to treat a woman doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have fierceness and wildness and roguery.
And, if you imply that they don’t, I may have to slap you. I don’t take kindly to slights against my family members, and I’ve got some wild Irish loyalty to prove it.

@rae thank you!!
- glad I wasn’t disqualified lol
- confusion in writing is what I’m good at for some reason XD XD
- honestly though, I can see why you think this reads like a chunk of a larger story rather than a short story, cause it kinda is. I wrote it for practice and to maybe one day turn it into a larger storyline, cause that’s how I craft stories for some reason. I had put off writing this short prompt until the last day and was like “AHHH WHAT AM I GONNA WRITE??” then was reading through my notebooks and was like “ah, this’ll work if I tweak it a little”
- Sniper is such a goofball sometimes. I honestly have no idea where it came from, cause when I write from outside his perspective you get the vibes of “could be funny, but mostly serious and more-or-less-professional and sometimes protective” the way he is in his original canon, but when I write him as the POV character he somehow ends up being funny at random times.
(Come to think of it, if you enjoyed this snippet of my worldbuilding you might enjoy my full on WIP I “borrowed” these characters for, I don’t think I’ve ever shown it to you specifically. It’s a junkpile but it’s at least a semi-coherent story and much cleaner than many works I’ve caught glimpses of in the fandom.)
@ellette-giselle congrats on winning!! tbh I didn’t read through everyone’s stories since I was too busy fretting about mine, but I’ll make sure to go back and read yours."When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
@power @ellette-giselle lollll this conversation has me just sitting here on the sidelines watching, I would be eating popcorn but I’m not a huge fan of popcorn, unless it’s popcorn chicken so maybe that’s what I’m eating.
"When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
@power Thank you but ew I’m not that cruel
As Bob the Tomato famously said in a GIF, “It’s funny because it’s true”
I am glad I have raised questions, questions which I hope to answer in my coming decades of authorship, and to a small degree here. We’ll see where I can fit my wide variety of story characters in the coming prompts
Congrats Ellette! I really liked your story, it made me think of Welsh legends. I really liked how the Fey weren’t cute and sparkly (thanks a lot Tinker Bell 😡) but powerful and mysterious. The ending was beautiful, and I was glad you didn’t forsake the prophesy part to make the ending different. A powerful legend.
@liberty Cool legendI don’t like Roger Williams (founder of Rhode Island and my distant ancestor) because he was too soft on theology. He also got kicked out by the Puritans and that’s never a good sign. And for all his pomp about religious freedom in Rhode Island, the church density there is lower than in North Carolina, where I live. So yeah.
I ❤️ Debating Theology
I ❤️ Family Heritage
I ❤️ Medievals
