Oh, I liked your story. The worldbuilding and premise was so unique! And the frame story layout was a good touch. Does it belong to a larger story?

@ellette-giselle

Very true. It’s so much fun. XD I would add that we hope if we can connect to a reader’s heart, we can impact them in the long run.

@ellette-giselle

Aw, thanks! (Why is it so fulfilling to hear your writing made someone cry? XD)

@ellette-giselle

Oh, interesting! I love the Celtic folklore inspiration. Fairies are so creepy. XD It’s a fascinating premise.

@rae

Yay! I’ll run over mine to get some edits my siblings suggested done and send it in after that.

@rae

lol. Thanks. I should read the entirety of a post thread before joining in. XD

@whaley

This sounds fun! I’ve wanted to do a short story contest for a while.

By the by, just to clarify, is it 500 words minimum, or maximum? Also, does it need to be a new story?

@koshka But it’s my darling Language and Diction Experiment. 0.O (But great idea. I might jump off onto my other more scar-central stories though.)

These are from a WIP Rules of the Road. I’d give more context, but I think they speak for themselves. XD

My heart literally froze.

Animation? I’m intrigued. That’s so (hates to use the word “cool” like this but brain is jelly.) cool!

Those hands are pretty good. They’re reminding me of the exercises my therapist wants me to do. O.O

Why do you guys do this to me?!

Lol, just kidding.

@freed_and_redeemed

Beautiful! I love seeing your work. And your digital skill is much better than mine. I… Don’t do digital art yet. XD

Also, that first picture of Leon and Adelheide is so sweet. I about cried.

@ellette-giselle

Your pictures look so good! I also have a lot of questions…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yes, he is blind. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss any dramatic scenes. 😉 If you read back, you can see we insinuated his blindness earlier. For instance, the conversation between Onnendel and Dwogin about the sunset.

It’s part of his backstory. We’ll explain the it more in a couple chapters. (Hint: Shadow Dread is an illness…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yay! So glad you like it!

Yeah, that would be a problem. As long as they believed you, pulling the author card might be the best defense.

And here’s Monday’s installment!

It was amazing what three days of hard travel could do to a landscape . Gone were the deep woods full of mushrooms and squirrels. We had passed up into broken foothills where the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

It is tragic. Let us take heart, however, for Monday’s chapter is nearly done.

*offers a handkerchief*

@hybridlore @ellette-giselle

I’m so glad y’all are enjoying this! Your encouragement helps us keep it up. So far it’s plotted out to last us well nigh New Year’s.

I do have bad tidings though. We are entering “IsitreallyfinallsweekalreadywhydidweenrollineightweekclassescanyoudieofessaysIthoughtIhadstudiedIdon’trememberanythinganymore.” A…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Oh, it sounds fascinating so far! I like your characters and the world is intriguing. I’ll wait to add critiques untill I understand you story more. 🙂

(By the by, I only have 16 pages for my “main” WIP, and all but four is just me getting distracted by the various backstories. But let’s not despise the day of small things. [Zec 4:10])
