Quince

So, I'm sick, and it's a pretty nasty virus (๑-﹏-๑)
          
          I've closed ALS to any further entries so as to not overwhelm myself. I look forward to continuing judging, but I want to get past the brain fog first. 
          
          Back to sleep, I go!

          ALS update:
          
          I'm halfway through judging the One Shots and can I just say- I was not expecting the scores to be soooo close! You all brought your 'A' game and each entry is so uniquely individual. I really do get spoiled as a host/judge ₊˚⊹♡(✮ ᴗ ✮)♡₊˚⊹
          
          
          On a less fun note, the Flash Fiction category really needs some love! There aren't enough entries to properly compete, so please consider joining if you haven't. I will continue to keep the submissions open and my fingers crossed! (๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝*.☘︎ ́˖

Hello! 
          
          How are you doing? It’s been a while. Thank you very much for adding my novel ‘The Secretary’ to your reading list!
          
          Happy reading if you decide to pick it up!

There is only one slot left in the 1-3k category of Auld Lang Syne! Who will be the lucky final contender?
          
          I've decided to leave the other categories open for submission since it's not a hassle to track, but One Shot judging will start tomorrow!! 
          
          Thanks to everyone who has engaged, and Happy New Year to all ✨️

          ALS UPDATE:
          
          With only a few days left before submissions close for Auld Lang Syne, I'm going to open it up to stories written in 2024. 
          
          Thank you to everyone who did a shout-out or tagged your writing buddies! I'm really hoping to get a few more entries, especially in the Flash Fiction category, so if you haven't had a chance to spread the word, please consider doing so!

          Quick contest update:
          
          Slots are half full, with 1 week left to claim them, and as I'll be traveling and celebrating with family over the next few days, I might be slower to respond to incoming entries.
          
          It feels like we are finally getting a 'real' winter this year, which is long overdue ⋆꙳༄˖•❅‧*₊⋆ ˖ 
          
          Happy Holidays to all!

⋆˙⟡ Thank you to everyone who has given Auld Lang Syne a shout-out! It is a third of the way filled, with the majotity of the entries in the 1-3k category, and 10 days until submissions close ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆
          
          There's still plenty of room and plenty of time to join! Be sure to take a look back and see if you have a hidden entry. I've gotten a lot from both the official WITW contest, as well as the Shortys~
          
          What glorious stories are hiding in your library?

I think a New Year's resolution of mine will be to communicate better, which is something I really struggle with. 
          
          So let's start with something easy~
          
          For those interested, another current goal of mine is to finish 'Seduced to Death,' which requires a rewrite of the posted material, plus an additional 4 or so chapters. I'm keeping this short and sweet (and spicy) - especially since this project was started almost 10 years ago now!
          
          Without further ado, here is the re-vamped Chapter 2} {Leap of Faith
          (There's also a snazzy aesthetic page in the front which includes a preview and link to the Spotify playlist <3 )
