@Carewren123 Hehe, I'm fine since I've already voted, but I wonder how other people are doing as well... There is a whole day left, not including today, but some people have schedules to keep... Hmmm...
I plan to read them all today and if I need to, I'll catch up tomorrow! Really excited about this month's entries!
I hope everyone in the States is having a nice 4th.
I know the voting for June is still going on but I do have my submission for July's theme and wanted to go ahead and submit that. I actually made proper word count (yay me!) with 1,275 total. So happy I didn't have to do some major cutting as I'd feared.
This story features characters from "Forever in Time." It's a sweet little father/daughter talk between Aurora (my gen 2 heir) and her father, Tyrone, who has reservations about his daughter's relationship with former Casanova Silvan McBeth, Prince of the Fae.
I hope you all enjoy it and don't think it's TOO hokey or boring. LOL!
Like I always say... the idea of voting is always so much easier before actually reading the stories! Wow! Amazing entries this month, everyone! Every story's a winner...
I just had a BRILLIANT idea for this month's story! I'm so excited to write it, because it'll fit this month's theme, as well as the major holiday for this month, while also bringing a relatively new issue (new to me, at least) into the light. So many things!
Hey y'all! How's everyone doing? I just finished reading all the entries for the month of June and wow they're all wonderful! Great job you guys!
I wasn't able to write a story for June but I'll try to write one for this month. The theme is so cool! @Carewren123 And you know the funniest thing happened When I first read the theme and the rules for this month, I thought we were supposed to start and end our story with the sentence "I open with the close" LOL Gosh, I just realized that's only the theme and the sentence we have to use can be absolutely anything! I laughed at myself for like five whole minutes! I'm such a goofball
This looks really fun! I'll try to write something for the July prompt - I have a couple of ideas but I don't know how well I'll be able to put them into practice yet. I guess we'll find out!
I still hope to get my June story out - into the for fun category, but for now I'll start thinking about what to do for THIS month. I need to get writing!
Check out Raerei's Fortress for Builds, Short Stories, and maybe some longer stuff.
Goodness lots of new posts on the thread today. No time to respond to everything individually, but real quick...
I'm glad a lot of people are liking the theme for this month. For anyone struggling with so much freedom in choosing what to write about, maybe you could try searching for interesting writing prompts online to see if you can find a good opening/ending sentence that you like.
And since I did ask if anyone needed the time for June's vote to be extended I added one extra day @putacece4lyfe
And @sweetnightingale I'll add your story to the list on the front page. Actually since you're our first entry this month I'll start that list!

Hehe, here's my submission! I didn't get nearly as many screenshots as I wanted to simply because I quickly realized that I could not do what I wanted. But anyways, enjoy!
I came here to be all impatient about the results not being posted yet, then I remembered it got extended an extra day (half-kidding. Hehe)
@Carewren123 I'm super curious -- how's it looking this month? Lots of ties again? (I love voting teases, don't mind me )
With the new voting method I can't tell as easily who's tied or in the lead or anything. There used to be a nice little bar graph that showed me the results - I just had to add up the points for all three questions in the poll. Now there are no graphs I have to add them all up by hand. Not a big deal. I just haven't done it yet. So right now I have absolutely no idea lol

Hahahahahs. Nope, no jejune stories at all. Some even had quite a kerfuffle. Tee hee.
Hoping my story for July isn't jejune but it might very well be.
Maybe some kind of inspiration will strike...
