Congratulations to the winners and participants for June! Such a unique challenge with such fun entries! It was great to see so many participants, both newcomers and those that have been around a while, it's always such a joy to see everything folks come up with!
Hi! I've got a story all ready to enter for this month's theme. I have a little bit more work to do on it and also have a question. I know we are not supposed to solicit votes. I have a little blurb at the end of the entry that links back to this thread and encourages people to read the other entries and vote. Would that be soliciting? I can always take out the "and vote at the appropriate time" if that counts as soliciting. I just want to know so I don't do anything wrong! Thanks in advance
There’s a note on the post, but I’ll give it here, too. Although nothing is stated outright, this story alludes to sensitive topics. A few more details are on the warning at the top of the story.
This month, the protagonist of your story must be the villain of the story.
Special Rules:
Surprise! As a birthday gift from me to you, you get 1-15 screenshots and 500-2,000 words.

But there were four entries in August...? Did you not count the rest because we used the full picture count that was allowed for August? It was one of those months that allowed extra.
