    Yay so excited to have placed 3rd! Also congrats to @divanthesimmer , @MenaBuchner , @Qnshr5 , @ra3rei , & @katrinasforest! As has already been said, all the stories (as usual) were great. A good portion had me rolling and it was a pleasure to read. Looking forward to the next month already!

    There is no one who had anything to hang their heads over .. the vote (while much less than in other months .. almost half) was very very very close again. There were no landslides!

    Congrats to everyone! ^_^ I can't wait to see all the September apple stories. (Can't participate this month, sadly, but happy to read and vote!)
    Watch me mash together Sims and Pokémon to tell a story about battling glitches in Penny Saves Paldea. Updated every other Thursday.

    Oooh - cool! Thanks for all the votes! This past month was super fun and I loved every story I read. I'm going to try to break my every other month pattern...so I'm thinking of apples....and apples and hmmmm...

    Congratulations @MenaBuchner, @TheAemaSimming, @divanthesimmer, @ra3rei & @katrinasforest! Sorry I'm late. I've been out with a migraine for the last several days. Thank you everyone. It was a lot of fun to write and it makes me happy that it was enjoyable to read. There were so many fun stories this month. I had a great time reading. I've got to go back and comment on like half the stories now cause I didn't have time to do that toward the end of last week.

    So I’ve been checking this thread so I could read the stories ahead of time, but only 2 people have submitted so far, and one of them is me! I guess everyone waits to the last minute? LOL.

    @QueenofMyshuno Seems like it! I came up with something just this weekend. Now I'm dragging my feet on the screenshots, as usual. Guess we're each other's competition? Hahaha!

    I have a story for this month, I just need to be able to get it under the word count. It's killing me! But hopefully I'll get something out before the weekend.

    Aaaaaaaand done. Let me transport you to a slightly anachronistic world, a world where Hungarian folktales are a field of study...

    @MummaSimma Highlight the text you want to become a link and hit the link icon (looks like 2 links in a chain). Paste in the url. It's a little tricky, at least for me on a PC, because there's already text in the box ("http://&quot; ), so I usually have to delete that first. Also, highlighting the existing text in the box and deleting doesn't work for me, so I have to put my cursor in the box, hit backspace multiple times, then when it's clear, I paste in my link.

    @LauraAnneB I struggle with word count, too, so I feel your pain. I'm looking forward to reading your story. :)

    You are still a new member so you can't make hyperlinks yet.

    Hi all, I finished my short story and it's up on my Tumblr: laurawritesandgames.tumblr.com/post/187993785743/purveyor-of-potions. It's a magic-filled romp of apples and betrayal.
