Yay! Congratulations, @ellette-giselle !

This has been so much fun. If we do it again, count me in!

@loopylin

That’s so much fun!

Hobbe’s best friend!

Yay! Whenever I put symbolism in a story I end up awkwardly trying to figure out if people caught it without giving it away. For further clarification, look up the two flowers mentioned.

And we definitely need more fabulous books for young people!

@liberty

That sounds like a lot of fun! It’s a theme both Middle Grade and YA could need, so you can absolutely write it for both. I’m technically a young adult and I like animal stories.

And yes, Yigal was military. There’s a lot of flower/name symbolism in the story… did you catch it?

@calyhuge

In the words of Calvin, that was STUPENDOUS.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oof, that’s ok. 🙂 Hope you feel better soon!

@liberty

I’m so glad you liked it!

Yeah, it’s standalone right now, but who knows? 😉 I haven’t gotten to work seriously in much of my WIPs, so they’re more like Works Waiting For Progress or something like that.

A sub-series is a good idea! I shall await your return. =D And maybe get some of my homework done. XD

@liberty

My stories? Yes. This short story is a stand alone, but I have three WIPs. Currently, my goal is to finish a novela by Easter. It’s one I haven’t shared much about, but is pretty close to my heart. Plus it’s a better springboard than a 3 volume epic or a 5 book series. XD

You?

@liberty

*Squeals*

Yay! Like I said, it’s such an intricately pieced world.

Yeah, most of mine are in my head too.

@ellette-giselle

Exactly! =)

@liberty

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

Here it is in all it’s ESL by a native English speaker glory.

@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.)
