    This is quite possibly the most incoherent short story I've submitted. Knowing all the others, that's saying something.

    But hopefully this will suffice as my submission until everyone else's good entries come in:

    The First Cut Is The Deepest
    AO3: Silver_Shortage_in_Markarth <(Where I'm usually at nowadays)
    MQ2gUyY.jpg
    Part One(Complete 9/24/16) /Part Two(on hold)/Short Stories(on hold)/Twinbrook 1996(on hold)/Ten Crystal Hearts (on hold)
    I own the TS3 Store as of 12/11/16 (sort of. It's complicated)

    I'll be doing an entry, but just For Fun this month. I'd decided last month I'd be doing that this time when I got this idea so thankfully I don't have to spend hours editing down my picture set. That takes such a ridiculously long amount of time, heh.

    My story is finished, it is for the For Fun category this month.

    Before the Wrinkly One (yes, it is a Cat Chronicles spin-off, so if you don't like that, worry not; it's For Fun so you can just skip it!)

    Okay- I'm going to have to admit, I've been lurking since February. But I couldn't quite come up with a story back then. This theme excited me, but I wasn't sure I had any good scars to tell.

    Then tonight I came home and started writing. (It's now WAAAAY too late and I have to work tomorrow, but I didn't want to risk loosing my momentum.) Thanks @mastressalita for your story which reminded me it's still March and not too late to submit and @lisabee2 for encouraging me!

    Last minute? Who would do that? *snort*

    Oh, yeah, me. haha

    I've worked on this thing all month. I quit halfway through, and then picked it up again a few days later. I've never been more excited about a story. However, whether anyone understands it is still up in the air. I find my mind can conjure up fantastic story ideas and they play like pictures before my eyes, but I'm terrible at translating it to paper. Because of this, I wonder if I really should continue writing. It's why I give up and come back and give up and come back. The insecurity is horrible.

    Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this story. :D

    April’s Theme: Expect the Unexpected


    April Fool’s Day is here, which means lots of silly pranks and jokes! For this month, put an unexpected twist or development into your story. Maybe it turns out that the murder was actually a very cruel joke, or that a character’s perception of an event was just completely off. Whatever you do, make sure to have fun with it!

    Special Rules: For this month, have some extra fun with 500-2000 words and 1-15 screenshots.


    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Submissions:
    Hunted by @Weathie
    Yandere Days by @mastressalita
    Seeing is Believing by @Arrowleaf
    About You by @Cement
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    "For Fun" Entries: (Any stories listed here are inspired by the monthly theme, but don't follow all the rules of the challenge and aren't in the monthly poll. Sometimes writers can't put limits on their creativity, and that's all good. Enjoy!)
