Congratulations! I like the sound of that!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
How would people feel about bringing the drabbles back? I nominate "Challenges/challenging" as our first new theme< if you'd like to do it .ETA: I wish "Physical challenge" is what it really felt like. There is something about the phrase that conjures up a buzzing game-show studio, surrounded, possibly, by the only tight hallways and steep stairs I'm ever gonna face. An expectant audience is waiting for me to take the prize. I wait to be judged with a gleaming smile and a light dew of sweat on my biceps.

I read in one of the threads Nilly saved for us that I never wrote "Places" I'm pretty sure that that version of me would find this version mortifying, but she's not here anymore, so who cares? And what's a couple decades among friends. [link]

Tep, since I'm so sure you couldn't get on with your life without knowing what "knots" made me think of, here that is. [link] I could have written more about my couple and whether they wanted to get married, ie, "tying the" but this is probably 100 words anyway, about people who just popped in my head. (If you guys give me a thread, I might take it, you know.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love "Possibilities, in A Sentence"
I could drabble again. I just finished my first complete Discworld and it's resuccitated my writing bug
I watched a reel from someone who is entering every short story contest of 2026 and now I'm getting inundated with short story contests and I'm wondering what are the ways to tell if any of them are legit
