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.

@whalekeeper @savannah_grace2009 HIII!!! It’s sooo good see yall!!! (Thru the inter webs of course ROFL) Things are pretty good! Have some personal stuff going on but yea, im super excited about vacation in December. Ready to have some weeks off from work lol.

@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]

aw man, that’s ok, rules are rules. I wouldn’t be able to get invested enough writing animals, sorry. If I tried I don’t think I’d be able to keep motivation for it. Let me know if you guys change it though.

@liberty

oops I totally forgot about this! I haven’t read the rp, is this for animals or is half animal fine? I have a winged oc and another one that has goat horns and lanky/unatural skeletal structure? Does that work?

Also, I am working on a short story for the prompt, it’s just gotten a little delayed (I decided to totally scrap my first idea in favor of another one Thursday. It’s been interesting)

@ellette-giselle

WHAT???!!!

*Undignified squealing commences*

Oh, she is kinda scary. I think she’s done a good thing though. She deserves the medal.

@ellette-giselle

I’d say don’t kill the boys. You could bring them close, scare the living daylights out of the others, but don’t kill them.

I expected them to get captured and killed. It felt like “here we go again”. So many characters by this time have been killed, that it was almost…boring? Change…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Noo! XD At least, I don’t think so. 🤔😉

@theducktator

Sounds like a character XD

if you want to be confusing you can say  わかりません(Wakarimasen) which means ‘I don’t understand’  next time lol.

@theducktator

Yw! I love language questions lol. Yeah Japanese doesn’t have the ah sound in abby, only the au sound so that probably is your name. Idk why somebody would say thanks in a language the recipient doesn’t know 😂😂

@theducktator

Oh that sounds cool! I’ve seen western towhees here, we get owls sometimes too.

Oh yes! I mean I don’t really speak it, but I can read basic stuff okay.

ありがとう is Arigatou, or thank you.

アビイ is Katakana, which is used for words that are foreign in Japan (Like American names). I’m assuming this is a Japanized version of the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

By the way, this article isn’t (or maybe it is) about psychological suffering, but since I’m pretty sure it’s point is what you’re intending in your stories, I’ll share it. It definitely changed the way I think of pain.

And it’s hilarious, so you know. Thought you’d enjoy.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ok, I will say that I enjoyed how it was carried off in this section. I agree with what @linus-smallprint said about that. It reminded me of The Healer by Dee Henderson. (A book about facing the grief of a broken world.) Very good.

What I say is redundant is the fact that it feels like more characters are dying than those who…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Eeellllllleeeeeeetttttttte………

Why shouldn’t you kill them? Well, because it’s getting redundant. I love your story and your characters. The setting has a unique feel of its own and the characters are compelling to say the least. However, unless you have a brand-new absolutely unseen point to make with more death, it may…[Read more]
