Noooooooo. No more plot bunnies. My head is already filled with inappropriate things.

Someone else write it so I don't have to

Unfortunately, many readers don't like them. However, I enjoy reading and writing them, so fuck them A-Holes!

That's why last year I advised writers to do their 750 words, then above that insert an intro that describes the event and the challenges to writing a 750 word story then below it have a line that says "Below this line are exactly 750 words" It helps with the slow thinkers.

I’ve seen some people put “750 words” in the title. Maybe it helps ward off evil spirits

Unfortunately, speaking from personal experience, I don’t believe that it does.

Yeah - I’ve found the only thing that wards off evil spirits is starving them of the attention and relevance they desperately crave.

Are these daily pics based on the stories, or just pure spooky general vibes?

That’s Emma White, my she-demon heroine trying to get past an ogre so that she and her angel fiancée can rescue a missing girl who is apparently important for the world, and last seen in a CA high school. Aka an excuse to have an ogre spank an she-demon dressed in uniform.

 

[dream_yahoozie]

Interesting. Sexy interesting.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Interesting. Sexy interesting.

I hope so

I’ve recognized the images from Emily’s story “Shining Valley High”…
