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

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?

Yay! Like I said, it’s such an intricately pieced world.
Yeah, most of mine are in my head too.

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?

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.

Idk, I love hearing that my writing made someone cry.
I think it’s because it makes us happy to know that we wrote in a way that made people care about our characters enough to cry.

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

maybe.
At least they didn’t get sacrificed.
Yeah! No kidding!
I once read a book that is actually a true story about the “fey” which actually happened to be a druid cult. You will never look at Halloween the same way again. I mean, our family already didn’t calibrate it, but that book makes you feel a little sick when you watch kids t…[Read more]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!
I was tearing up so bad!
I love the different meanings the prompt had in your story! His physical scar, but also her unseen one.
SO GOOD!

Yep. Poor kiddos. Who knows, she may decide to write a story based on that “wild dream” and accidentally keep his memory (the things an author thinks).
At least they didn’t get sacrificed.

Yeah. I know. That part is sad. Sadder then him dying. But in a way it’s also sweet because now she can go through life never having to deal with that trauma.

And yes, Celtic fairies are horrifying.

I forgot to do this. I’ll try to join in another time though.
O.O Wowzers. I knew he would die, but I hoped she’d remember him.
EEEEEE. You know what I think of this story. =D

Your welcome. It was actually really good the way you left it. I like unfinished short stories because it forces the reader to come up with an ending. (I dislike that technique when authors do it with a series or novel though. I feel cheated) But yeah, it was really good.
Thank you! I wanted to try to do something…[Read more]

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