    Hi everyone. :)

    After reading the submissions made for October, I was so inspired to attempt a story of my own for Novembers challenge.

    Here is my submission for the November SimLit Challenge: I Have Seen Fear And It Is Myself

    Really looking forward to reading all the other submissions :)

    Whoops, sorry about that cut-off message. I have an entry for this month, but this forum is not allowing me to post links. How can I submit my story?

    If you remove the https part of the link, then you should be able to post the link. :) If you can post that, then I can get you linked up in the main post.

    As of right now, I think I may have found the story. Is this it? https://mysimlit.wordpress.com/2017/11/18/sim-short-courage-will-be-thy-saviour/

    @MsMarvel98 Hi! I'm really glad that you've read some previous entries and decided to participate! The forum should let you post your link if, after pasting it into a new post here, you take off the http:// or https:// part at the beginning.

    @Sarahkay Yep, you made it! In fact, here's December's theme.

    December’s Theme: Reminiscence


    Reminiscence—noun—
    1. A story told about a past event remembered by the narrator
    2. The enjoyable recollection of past events
    3. (plural) A collection in literary form of incidents and experiences that someone remembers
    4. A characteristic of one thing reminding or suggestive of another

    Since 2017 is coming to a close, I’ve been looking back and reflecting on everything that’s happened, which led me to the word “reminiscence”. For this month’s challenge, theme your story around one or more definitions of the word—they don’t necessarily have to be listed here; the above list is there just given for a starting point.

    Special Rules: Reminisce more with 500-2000 words and 1-15 screenshots.

    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Submissions: (in order to be voting eligible, stories in this category must follow all word and screenshot limits as listed under "Special Rules" above and be submitted by 12 pm on December 31st, Central Time)

    "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!)

    I realize I may have left this late - far too late! But it is still 10 minutes to midnight where I live haha.

    The Dangers You Face - November entry.

    If it is too late, I'm fine with it being in the "for fun" entries. :)

    Love the theme for December, I'll let ideas brew in my head...

    OO yay! December 1st. I can't wait to see stories told.
    I don't know yet if I will be able to participate, though I'll try and get the story done. RL has me packing and packing. I'm moving on Dec 23rd, so, time is a thing.
    Good luck to everyone!

    @Karilan I realized that we never explicitly stated which timezone's midnight submissions need to be in by, so I'll put yours on the submissions list and we'll make sure to add that it's midnight central time to future posts.
    @FidgetyAtom Good luck on moving!

    I am slightly proud to say I worked up my December entry, in my head, on my 45 minuet drive home. All typed up, now all that's left to do is figure out the images. Funny how one theme can be so hard to type out while another flows so smoothly! <3Love this months theme!
