I will give this a try. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

Unfortunately I found out. It's a max 30 days, and it's been more than 30 days.

Hello everyone, and all. I am searching for a story that must to my dismay was not in my reading history. It was something I had stumbled upon when I first started reading here....over a year ago. Here is what I can remember; the main character was in a family of those who held/used magic, but he did not. There were other siblings, a sister and a brother, there might have been one more but my memory is fuzzy. I think there was a family friend that was sweet on him, but I use the word sweet lightly because he was actually kind of mean. Pushy, and uncaring towards if he actually liked him. He just wanted him, his feels aside. the main character goes in to town, I think, and he is in this alley way and about to be attacked. An unsavory character, who everyone says is evil, who he had gone to see steps out and for a moment he can see from his perspective before he scares away the thugs. I think this unsavory character was refusing to answer the door when the trouble started. - i think evil character dresses all in black From there, they unlock the main characters magic together. Which comes with its own consequences, and suspicions. The seeing bit becomes a pattern, on the main characters end. It also helps him out when the family friend, displays some of his not so nice behaviors. Which get interrupted by the evil character. Who at this point doesn't seem so evil anymore. because at a risk of spoilers the unsavory character admits, after a stay at someone else house, who mentions that he is someone else magical assassin or something of the likes, that when the main character arrived. HE too could see from his perspective at the beginning. He just had a really good poker face. and that is it. I cannot remember any more. I know there is more, but I lost the story, I didn't save it, and my billion tabs in my too many windows closed. After life got me distracted and I never had enough details to find it to be able to finish it and I'd really love to do just that. Finish the story. ( and clearly reread the start of it if my memory is this vague) If anyone, has any clue on what I am talking about your help is appreciated. If you see this, and have no clue, I still thank you for at least reading this and trying to see if you can help. Weary and saddened, Quilah

Oh amazing 🙇 I was about to post similarity of a lost story, and couldn't figure out where I should post/ask. Eternally grateful!!! Sorry to hear your search was a dead end Quokka.

He's traveling his way through Conception Bay!

I am even more intrigued.

It really do look enjoyable, perhaps I will finally stop resisting and watch it

Amazing. Congratulations 🥳

I've not gotten far in it myself (I have this awful habit of dying) but everyone I know who has played has enjoyed it. ❤️

I've stuck a few prompts in my back pocket to come back to. So grateful that this was something that came to be and is still going! Can't wait to see what else gets created in this space (prompts and stories based on prompts) ❤️

My reading pile is just getting bigger and bigger! I can't wait to dig into La Bella Vacanza. I'm sure it won't be the only piece I stop to read and fall in love with by this author. Loved this little glance behind the scenes!

Behind on reading but excited to dig into these!

Happy GA Anniversary!

You touched on so many things in this story. It was well written and as much as a wish for a different ending I enjoyed getting to know the characters. thank you for sharing such a unique story.

I knew John was leaving when the story started. I excepted to be sad and feel my heart throb from seeing the pieces of their lives they built together. I was not ready for my heart to break when I found out Steve was gone already, that they had spent five years apart and that Johns passing was the only way to bring them back together. I grew so attached to both men and the car by the end of this. I nearly cried (My eyes did fill but didn’t spill) The story stated slow but it helped build on the feeling that there was no rush in that part of their lives. That life wasn’t perfect but they were doing everything they could to enjoy the moments they had together to the fullest. I absolutely loved reading this. I’m so glad this made it out and we all got to enjoy it!

Amazing! Congratulations on such a tremendous milestone!

Aw! I will keep that in mind in the future!

Great idea about starting with prompts! I almost submitted for the 2022 Anthology but saw that part of the rules was that it must be edited. It was the day before they were due and felt too last minute to hope for an editor reply/request. 😓I will for sure be trying to put something out for next time!

Thank you. I guess I'm a little hung up on which one first. I do agree that starting to post is the key first step. 😊 They range anywhere from 16,000 - 67,000 words.

Honestly, I thought this was how it was here on this website. I'm constantly seeing interactions that make it seem like a majority of the writers here are a team. The deeper I dove into it and the more I realized this wasn't always the case. There is definitely a community here. There is definitely support but it's hard to pinpoint for sure if there are teams like you have described. - now forgive me I am new. I don't have a long of a record (not sure if that's the right word but that police chase is still in my head, which by the way I now have a show to check out lol) as some with this website. I also never share my work and have spent the last 6 months gearing myself up to just properly interacting within this space. I have a strong case of stage fright, but also the strong urge to share my work after over a decade of writing and hiding. I love to write. I write for myself because I get a thrill from knitting words together and finding myself in another world altogether. I've never needed anyone but myself to keep my motivation but I would also love to iron out kinks and fill in potholes that exist in my writing. I do not have enough ego to assume I could produce a perfect piece with only me, myself, and I. So, to find a team, people I can count on to drive the getaway car, help fight our way out of tight spots, or just know the how when it comes to dos and don't would be the dream. Sign me up! Insert cheesy line here: Teamwork makes the dream work. There is a lot of talent in this space. So I believe there is a team out there waiting, ready to assemble, with each of their talents, and perspectives. Just waiting for the words needed to go. On the flip side, I also think it would be amazing to be a member within a team. To help make someone else's story the best version it could be.

I have cleared my schedule (sorry to be read pile, you'll have to wait just a bit longer) I am ready to read Anthologies! It's exciting to see the countdown come to an end, and I can't wait to see what everyone has been working on.

I found myself fascinated with the world, and characters you created in such a small snapshot of their lives. A beautiful beginning.

There is moooore?!?! ❤️ Love being able to understand how Brad and Mark ended up where they were in the other part. Will they continue to pop up with more prompts or will they grow into their story and become even more?

This time I am floored. I read this over the weekend, and spent almost a full 24 hours with Endings in my head. Playing over and over again. I re- read the last chapter, again, tonight and its still hits me so hard. I felt everything you threw at Chase. It was incredible to watch him build himself again. I will never look at burnt pizza the same. It will always remind of Chase and Hank and the journey they went on. I'm in love, in awe and I am out of tissue!

This is something I wouldn’t mind giving a try. I find myself always single perspective focused, and there have been moments where I’ve paused to think “what would this look like from so and so’s side of things” but never attempt to write it out. They are just little blips in the back of my head. 🙃
