@Pegasus143 - Thanks so much.

I'm looking forward to participating again. I'm going through withdrawals. LOL!

SilentWolf101 · December 2016

Hey everybody! I've updated the list. Let me know if you don't see your entry in the submissions for the current challenge!

CathyTea · December 2016

Hi! I've got my December short story! Something for Dr. J

I really appreciated the gift of extra words and pictures!

I hope everyone is having a very happy Holiday Season.

Here is my submission for this month's challenge.

A Life to Live: My Most precious Gift

mastressalita · December 2016

I have my entry done. It's published as a new part of my existing series Cat Chronicles, but follows the stipulations for words/pictures and has never been published before. I think that's okay? If it isn't just chuck it in For Fun, I'm not that bothered with that sort of thing anyway.

Feline Philanthropy

Here's my entry The Gift of Acceptance

Pegasus143 · December 2016

(I thought I answered this already, but apparently the forums ate my post)
@mastressalita Yes, your story is fine in the voting category as long as readers can understand it without having to read the full work.
@sweetnightingale Your pic is super adorable!
@Raven_Cat Your story sounds great as well!
I can't wait to read these!
Also, it's currently 11:08 AM CST, meaning that anyone who's still working on their entries has a little under 13 hours left.

@Pegasus143 - Awww thanks.

I'm rather fond of that pic myself. I enjoyed putting this story together.

lovesstorms · January 2017

I'm looking forward to this next month's theme. I've been swamped this past month, so I've done very little writing.

I think most people have been pretty busy this month

@SilentWolf101 is in charge of January's theme, and I'm excited as well to see what it will be!

Spottydog714 · January 2017

The vote should be up tomorrow

CathyTea · January 2017

I'm super excited for January's theme!

Where is it .. I missed it somewhere

lovesstorms · January 2017

I don't think it's been posted yet. I'm going to try to join every month this year. #goals However, if I get too stressed, it'll be the first to go. Life has suddenly gotten crazy with the new job I start in just 7.5 hours. I just wrote a bunch of stuff out because I'm hoping putting it down on paper will help me sleep now. I wanted to know what this month's theme was, but I'll check back in the next day or two.

IchigoUsagi · January 2017

Voted! All of them were really great so it was a tough choice! Hopefully I'll be able to throw my hat in the ring this month.

AdamsEve1231 · January 2017

December was a rough month for me, beginning and ending in illness so I wasn't able to submit my own story. However, I feel such joy when reading these SimLit submissions. I voted. Good luck, everyone!

lovesstorms · January 2017

Voting time! I will work on that tomorrow. I won't have a lot of time near the end of the month to submit this month's new story, so hopefully I can start soon to get it finished.

How's everyone doing?

SilentWolf101 · January 2017

New theme posted! I was aiming for snow-covered pine trees with the color scheme, since it's still winter and snowy here.

January's Theme: Anew
It's that time of year to start fresh once again. In the spirit of the season, what's something new in your story?

Special Rules:
None this month. The usual 500-1500 words, and 1-12 sims-game screenshots.

"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!)

CathyTea · January 2017

@Pegasus143 @SilentWolf101 @Spottydog714 Hiya! Hey, I can't find the links to December's stories... can any of you help me find them?

sweetnightingale · January 2017

@CathyTea - I had the same problem. I think they were removed when the new theme went up. I ended up having to scour the thread and look for each story that way.

Anyway...

My votes are in. Some really great stories here that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Good luck, everyone.
