Oh you do, do you? Well, here goes a test run in that Other Idea.

The room was dim. Sunlight and it’s heat rarely made it through the windows.

Skeletal children, heads shaved free of lice, played on the coarse floor. Armenian mixed with Aramaic and Syrian. They were bits and pieces left over from the death march. Even the youngest, a…[Read more]

Ooof! That hit me out of nowhere. XD

Ok, here’s my dues.

“Be still, luv.” Her shepherd’s hands were soft from his many years tending sheep. He washed the cuts on her face with a gentleness that brought tears to her eyes.

“Aiche…”

“I know.” He looked away, jaw tight. Ellie swallowed.

“She made me.”

“It will grow back. For now, I am just glad you escaped.” He smoothed…[Read more]

@loopylin

It’s a whole lot of adorable nothing. I’m fascinated. If you publish it, I’ll buy it. 🙂

Wait. I was- oof!

*A muffled voice comes from my snow fort*

A counter attack….Yes…

@freed_and_redeemed

I think there’s a Slavic theme going on. Lol.

I like them! And I’m a *little intrigued. Such beautiful names, such interesting faces!

Koshka is a big help with Slavic stuff. She corrected my stand-in name (first+patronymic) for the charrie above. XD

*Extremely

Just wondering… Does anyone else do this?

While researching some stuff for school about Soviet era factories, I ran into The Picture. I’ve had this picture saved on my phone for years because the girl in it struck me in that “Story Detector” bit of my brain. I don’t know who she really was, or if I’ll even ever write her story as I hear it…[Read more]

Winifrith has come to share a lot of my own struggles just as she shares a similar background. Because of this development, she’s been in my head lately. After getting splatted by you, I mentioned doing my next defense as her. 🙂

@koshka

*stumbles from beneath an insurmountable snow ball*

I LIVE!

Hidden words in world unknown gleamed in her blade. Winifrith tuned it and watched the reflected fire dance across the ceiling. A blade of Elisai, forged in the breath of the Lighted One. Some things were too sacred for wonder to grasp. 

She sheathed it home by her…[Read more]

*Cough cough*

Well, yes. I’m an intense history/culture nerd. My typical interests cover clothing/daily life/religion. I don’t remember any good references off the top of my head right now. However, I’m always up for a challenge! I need to be looking into the 1900s anyway for a project today, sooo…

If I find anything I’ll share it.

@koshka

(*cackles*)

@koshka

Oh! *Squeel of glee* I love it. Her perspective is so different. And it made a lot more sense. Lol.

(Also something Calion would get himself into. Just saying.)

@liberty

A girl in red plaid sits in the college library. Dreadful words – Assignment Due Tomorrow and Proyecto de Clase de Español? -waltz across the screen before her weary eyes. Those words have no business in libraries. Her sanctuary is become her prison. She sighs and clicks on her phone.

A wet clod of wintery chill flies into her…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

EEKERS. IT’S GODLY.

*Ambush hug*

I was holding onto hope that as long as your account hadn’t gone “anonymous” you’d still come back. How are the charries? November, Ara, Luna, Jocelyn, Grimm and Miss Raven? Any adventures? I’m trusting November recovered from the non-canon bout of scurvy.

I’m still writing… Running into plot…[Read more]

@power

Yay! Congratulations and a cup of cold cider! That was really good. The Black Mongoose struck again. Struck our heartstrings, that is.

@ellette-giselle

I’m glad you went ahead and judged it. I meant to step out last night. My second story was not coming. Besides, these stories were all really good.

@ellette-giselle

I expanded what I had to 202 words, but it’s still really flash fiction. Let me see if I can get my other idea in order.

Lol. This is hilarious. I finally wrote a short story I would consider submitting for this and it’s just 179 words long. Back to the drawing board. XD

@ellette-giselle

I was wondering if that was the inspiration. Rhoda is one of my favorite Bible characters. XD

@ellette-giselle

Hmm.

…

I like it. 😄 I’m still suspicious about all this new governor has in mind, which is good in a literary sense. The events make sense even as they toss the next bit into suspense. This version is less intense than the previous one, but I liked having a period of quiet worry about what would happen suddenly change to…[Read more]
