That's right, folks!

Do you wanna see what happened with my original contest story idea? The one that ballooned out to over 12k words and I didn't have the heart to chop down? Well, do I have good news for you!

After a disastrous New Year's party Courtney decides, in a fit of somewhat drunken pique, to prove to the world just how manly she... ahem, he... is.

Can they resist the temptations of cute clothes, cute shoes, and even cute boys, and make their resolution stick?

"False Start" should be appearing on the Patreon in 3 parts, 2 chapters each, for the next 3 Mondays (barring any Unexpected Occurrences.) I feel like it's a very fun little story, so I hope folks give it a look!
