Thanks for waiting, you have mine now.

Hmm... still not able to PM. Funny, I was going to say it's not the end of the world, but this time — it is.

I'm having a hard time sending a PM... keeps saying I'm in the wrong universe...

Just posted a little something. Hopefully, it's mildly entertaining. I was also surprised about the August date... I wanted to get it in now just in case that was a typo.

Just sent mine in. Hopefully, I remembered the correct formatting.

Alright, I got an audible gasp from my first reader... hope that's twisted enough.

Thanks, hope everyone had a good year. I hope the twisted fairy tale I'm weaving will bring some joy in the new year... or in the least mild entertainment.

Alright, I'm back in the game. It's been a long few month hiatus, but I hope you guys like this one.

Thanks, I just read poetry and politics don't mix while reading Steven King's Tommyknockers. Apparently, his fictional publishers are not the only ones who think so. I'll keep that in mind for the future. With the scores so even I'd say it was about a draw across the board. I liked all of the storie...

At the last minute as always. Finally ready to go.

Four writers and four votes in. Looks like we can wrap this one up. I voted a while back.

First of all, thanks for the votes. I think I was just angry about the state of the nation when I wrote that. It's good to know that it's relatable. I was honestly impressed with all of the stories this time. It seems to me like we're not a happy-go-lucky group. What, we can't have a puppy? Just kid...

Ready, hope you enjoy.

Ok, lots to go over here. First of all, congratulations to everyone for the great stories. I am a novice writer at this point having only six months under my belt, but I had some thoughts that might be helpful for the next round. I voted for Shadows and here is why: it stayed true to the "ancient ex...

Just got mine in, right under the buzzer as usual. I can't wait to see all of the stories. Lovecraft is one of my favorite.

Count me in. Just posted.

Congratulations on the win Mom. Looks like I'll have to try harder next time. Speaking of... what's next? Are we doing a Thanksgiving story this month? Or is there something more adventurous waiting in the winds?

Posted. It's my first time doing one of these challenges so let me know if I screwed something up. Thanks.
