I liked the way it was done last year, having a story released per day. Gave more room to read and discuss each one. I'm not a binge reader.

Wow, I wasn't expecting all at once! I don't know where to start!

I never really wanted to go to the party with Oliver. But when your crush invites you somewhere, you don’t say no. I wasn’t expecting the lethal punch. I wasn’t expecting the cute, flirty Alex. And I definitely wasn’t expecting Oliver’s ex girlfriend to show up. Things could get messy.

Only took 5 tries.

20. I'm giving up after this.

10

16 sounds right

Last SA contest had around 13, so good guess.

18

Higher or lower?

15!

People with these type of disabilities are often gaslighted by medical professionals, colleagues, and even their own friends and family. Especially women.

As someone who wrote something similar to Prompt #295, I recommend writers giving this one a try.

Please don't apologize for the "essay", I love seeing the feedback that stories like this generate and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I think you make some good points. I disagree that Jack didn't have a choice. His choices were shitty yes, but he made them and had to face the consequences. One of them was a former friend who desired revenge for being abandoned when he was most vulnerable. Damon also had to make some choices, and his were shitty as well. He could have chosen to leave Jack behind and enjoy his new life with Will, and he didn't. Everyone made bad choices here. I wanted a story about revenge, because I'm just mean like that sometimes. It's up to you to decide who is redeemable. I'm glad this was able to inspire an idea for you.

The last night I spent in my former house was during a big storm and lightning struck so close that I thought it had hit the house. Everything went completely white and the house shook. My grandma told me a story about her grandparents and their children taking shelter in a shed during a storm (farmers). One of the children was sitting on a metal stove and got killed when lightning struck the building. She was 9. I think I'd rather write about storms/lightning than experience it close up.

Welcome on board!

Kinky. I like it.

Nah, for some of us, it is the theme. I will make time to write for a theme I like, but not one I don't feel strongly about.

Looking forward to reading more about Nick!

#289 feels like a personal attack.

Blessed be friend

In the events forum, it states one story per author. Though I love the idea of shenanigans that multiple entries could create!

They're my favorite animal.

Congratulations!!!
