I'm absolutely helpless at writing superlatives. Moreover, those who have ever read my stories know that they're mostly pictures. Thus my superlatives should be like etc.
Well, I'll try to share my impressions with words.
This week I did my reader's advisory thread, Weekly Reading Roundup on short stories! Pretty much all short stories that are registered with the Stories and Legacies Index were highlighted, if you want to take a look:
Results coming up in just a minute. Sorry for any confusion about the date the poll was closing. And I have to say that the votes definitely agree with what you all said about the vote getting more difficult to choose. I think this was the closest vote yet. 22 votes (and everyone followed the rules!!!) the winners were all really close in points and there was a 3-way tie for fourth (I kind of want to share those too).
So great job everyone!!!! Thanks for another awesome month!
And congrats to EVERYONE because this was seriously the most difficult month to vote for! @Carewren123 I would be interested in knowing about the 4th place tie!
And congrats to EVERYONE because this was seriously the most difficult month to vote for! Was it super close, @Carewren123 ? I feel like it must have been!
It was really close. Nearly tied 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. And we did have a 3-way tie for fourth.

I just saw your previous post and edited mine I am really interested in knowing who was tied! But I don't know if you plan on sharing that haha
I've been meaning to make a participant banner for anyone who wants it for a while now. I threw this together really quickly. How do yall like it?
It sort of matches the winner banners. It's kind of plain, but I think that's better. Is it? And I wasn't sure what image to put on it. I found some Sims trophy icon in the set I downloaded and chose the one with the light bulb, because you know... we're all creative.
Let me know what you think. Honestly. It can be tweaked. I'll post a link to the download if/when everyone likes it.
'Grats to the winners! As much as I wanna say that voting was hard...I'm a big sucker for pet stories (and it hit a raw nerve from nearly losing my old dog this Christmas).

Creativity comes from all aspects of our human nature.

Ooh, I missed that we were going a full week this month instead of 5 days!
wouldn't midnight march 6th be march 7th?
Well, I'll try to share my impressions with words.
So, I'm taken with the idea of immortal love in Ad Vitam Aeternam - To Eternal Life by @ValoisFulcanelli
I'm touched with The Best Mistake by @CeltyGirly I hoped till the end that the girl recovers.
I enjoyed The Apple Pie of Love by @CathyTea I always enjoy her stories so positive and edifying.
I was charmed by the magic love in What You Wish Forby @CitizenErased14
I felt sympathetic to the girls in Words Never Heard by @Pegasus143 and in Song Of Life by @SilentWolf101 Each of those girls had her own kind of tragedy.
You Were Never Enough Until You Were by @whitewaveldc also seemed to be a tragedy at first. But I'm glad that Mallory found her happiness in the end.
I also loved Desert Rose by @InfraGreen
For the Love of Sims by @ra3rei reminded me of Dali. I don't know why, but it seemed surrealistic to me.
The awesome My Girl by @VIRTUALEE made me laugh in the end. Really unexpected.
And the story Only Fools Rush In by @TheSingingSimmer reminded me of Romeo and Juliet.
I feel proud of Mellie in List of Love | Mellie's *Memoirs* by @Spottydog714 It's great that she managed to overcome bullying.
Pixelated love by @Twiggy is simply amazing!
A Twin's Love by @lovesstorms is an unusual view on death. It may be strange, but I felt sorry for all of them. For Morgan, for Madison, who was ready to sacrifice everything (even her soul) to save her twin sister. For Joe, who I don't think was to be blamed for Morgan's death.
For the Love of Furbabies by @mastressalita - Forgive me, everyone - all your stories are great. But this one is the best, in my opinion. I adore this story of a girl and a cat's love. It is so touching! Reading the last lines I was crying.
Theft, Lies and Pastries by @sabreene is an awesome story. “You have an empty place inside." Maeve's mom said. And that is so right! Mother and daughter have everything. And... nothing.
Nice try Now you see that I'm absolutely awkward at writing superlatives
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
