Thanks Joie! Yes it didn't get too bad just lots of rain mostly, but there has been some flooding just not impacting me directly. I think the internet was just down for longer than normal due to the holiday week.
So I had this idea last night as I was getting ready for bed. Can I write it and screenshot it one 1 day? Probably not, but I'm going to ruddy well try!
Which makes me think, a 1-day challenge would be quite interesting!

I wrote and screenshot mine in one day! It was NOT easy, but I did it I believe in you @Munterbacon !

Thanks for the encouragement! @CitizenErased14 I hope I can do it, it is really quite a funny idea!
Question for everyone. When Carewren was monitoring it submissions were due Eastern Time. I don't know who is really monitoring them now but has the time they are to be submitted different now.. we all are in different time zones. lol.
ooo @Carewren123 your back! False alarm everyone. I didn't go through the thread ...
my bad. My submission will be completed in a few hours or tomorrow.
Hey you guys!!! Sorry I've been MIA. Super busy time of the year. Then we've had storms this past week and my internet was down for several days. Anyway I wanted to pot in to tell everyone that I haven't forgotten about you all. I'm about to update the front page. Thank you so much @ra3rei for making that list in my absence. Also a huge thank you to those of you who did the superlative things while I was away. You are all so awesome.
Didn't mean to be away for so long. The month just really got away from me. I've missed you all.

We missed you. Welcome back! Hope your holidays went well!
Thanks everyone I'm happy to be back. I feel so out of my routine though. I'll get settled back in though. Let me update the list on the front page again. Also I think I'm going to work on adding a place on all our month's list to include "Just for Fun" submissions that people wrote that don't follow the rules or maybe in the future for anyone who wants to opt out of the vote for any reason. Does that make sense. I also still need to send out the winners' banners for November. Maybe my New Year's resolution should be to catch up with all my forum stuff.
@Carewren123 I like that idea! If you do that, would you be able to add my October short story to the "Just for fun" section? I was told that I wasn't allowed to share my link to my story on this thread for fear that ineligible stories would "take away from" the submitted stories. I was quite sad that not many people read that story (since most of my short story traffic comes from this thread, and I thought I wasn't allowed to share it here)! But sounds like now that rule has changed?
Obviously it's months late, but on the off chance that anyone takes a peek at the past challenges, it would be nice for my story to maybe be on the "For fun" list so that maybe someone in the future can read it?
EDIT: Oh, and I believe @AuroraLockwood was in the same boat back in October! He wrote a great story that was ineligible for the challenge, but did not share the link here because the original rule was that sharing ineligible stories was not allowed here. I'm sure he'd love the chance to get a bit of extra traffic to his story too
EDIT #2: Oh yeah, you don't have the link Here was my October short story:
Am I too late? Am I too late? ZOMG I tried so hard to get this out at the last minute! (As it isn't midnight Central Time yet, which is what @Carewren123 is on, I *think* she'll still take it!)

@CitizenErased14 : Just now getting caught up... I've actually been going through and reading all the past entries! I still need to read August and September (those months were before I "joined" this thread, but I still plan to read all those stories and, when time allows, I still want to write short stories myself for those themes, because I just do this for funsies anyway!) But in October, I actually read everything, including both your story and @AuroraLockwood 's! I really enjoyed both! (I do believe I left comments on both those short stories, but if I had failed to, that was just me being fail. -_-;; I know for a fact I did read them!) I also read @sabreene 's inelgible "Lost" entry last month, it was most excellent! I absolutely love short stories, so I never mind if people shove more of them in my face. ^_^
I do remember you reading and leaving a very nice comment @mastressalita !! I think it's awesome that you wanna go back and try the old themes! My favorite so far has been september's prompt. So fun!!!!
@mastressalita Thanks for reading and mentioning my story from last month!! I was so bummed to finish late, by just one hour! lol! Not really for the vote, because I do the stories mainly for a challenge, but because I was so close to getting it done!
Also, like @CitizenErased14 noted, when you're not in the voting list, there aren't nearly as many readers. Even though I did post the link here, lol. I just had to, being so close to the cut off at the time! That story has less than half the views of the other ones, and this month's views are already catching up with it!
So I think it's an awesome idea @Carewren123 had, to have a little section of non-voted on stories! And @Carewren123 welcome back!! Nice to see you!!
Less than two hours left before til midnight for me now. It's so fun to see all the last minute entries. It's been a rare thing to have even one entry submitted on the last day and today we've had several!
