    Gosh... how come each month it gets harder to vote? I thought that things got easier the more we did them...

    I just read all the stories, and once again, every single one I'll be happy if it wins!

    It was so hard for me to vote for 1st and 2nd because there are two stories that were both so good that I couldn't pick one over the other. There are so many talented writers here!

    I'm double commenting because I just wrote my story for March since I was bored and really inspired. I actually wrote it out before taking the pictures. I usually do the opposite so this was interesting. I really put a piece of myself into this story and cannot wait to put it all together and get people's feedback. :D

    For this one, since it begins with set words, I need to wait until after I write mine before I read others! That gives me big incentive to finish mine, so I can read yours!

    Until I Find It

    I worked on this one for a few hours straight and now I may present it. It's a little tiny piece of me. I like submitting super early for whatever reason. I just get so excited I want to dive right into it. Now I can sit back and read as the other submissions come in :)

    @CeltyGirly Wow... That was fast. XD And I'm still here considering ideas... I really like this one idea, but I'm finding a lot of faults with it now... :P

    Yes, I'm still working on my stories. But I am restarting them (again). Links will come when they're up. :)

    I didn't make February's challenge. Too many classes and papers. March's challenge sounds interesting and it's only the 2nd. I think I'll attempt this month.
    With these forums closing down, stay connected.

    Ack must vote now - I've been too excited by this month's challenge...

    Edit - I feel like voting used to be easier...but at least I'm done - working on superlatives now. Should I wait to post until after voting ends or just anytime?

    The binge read: my favorite part of the short story challenge every month.
    The vote: my least favorite part of the short story challenge every month.

    Need to go binge read these stories so I can vote. I've been completely absent from the forums, school's just been so busy! Bleh! Got the screenshots for my February story done, then they just sat there... and sat there. Maybe I'll write it out someday. XD

    Hopefully I'll be able to get March's story done!

    Just use your screenshots for the February story for the March story! Boom! Look at all that time saved. :-P

    Still pondering before voting. The stories were all so good this month! This could potentially be the hardest vote yet!

    I'd suggest waiting until voting closes to post the superlatives. And I agree--voting just gets harder and harder! It's because each story is amazing! Each one could win! So I feel that, as a voter, I need to come up with new criteria: not just, "which one deserves to win." Because each one deserves to!

    Or, if you want, you could submit them for the screenshot challenge. :)

    What a binge I just had. Loved all the entries this month and I just voted!
    Maybe I'll take at stab at writing my own short for this month's theme.

    Oh and @mastressalita 's comment from earlier made me have a crazy thought for a challenge...

    Use your same screenshots from a past story and write an entirely new story to go along with them :open_mouth::lol:
