Long Route Home

Another above-average story from Marissa Lynn. Quite a lot of angst on their journey.

Girl Park New Years

Melanie Brown brought her Girl Park franchise to our contest. This is a very good story that mocks modern marketing.

A Favor for a Friend

I begged Mel to write a story. She has been a friend for quite a few years. She did a lot of work for me for one of my businesses. An ideal employee and an ideal writer. When I saw the title, I thought she was outing all the pressure brought on her to join the contest. Instead, she gave us this exceptional story of a human feces who leaned as far as he could on his friend and then asked for more.

0300Z Defence HQ New Year Resolution

What can I say about Bru? She is the queen of brevity and the empress of the twist.

Snowed in

A family that has been feuding finds out they have more in common than they thought. Marissa Lynn adds this story to her already impressive entries. Everything about this story is exceptional.

Reading the Room

Steph C has submitted another very good story about writing and the writing process. Excellent characters.

Displaced for New Years

McMasters wants to retire. You don’t get a gold watch in his line of work. Melanie Brown has written a very good action story with what appears to be a happy ending.

New Year’s Revolutions

What’s going on with Debby? Alan tells us an above-average story about family interaction. This story makes excellent use of dialogue to move the plot forward.

Through the Looking Glass Darkly

Do you worry about your online privacy being compromised? Maeryn Lamonte has written an exceptional accounting of one person’s trip down the internet rabbit hole.

Like It’s Your Last

All that’s missing in this story is an alarm clock/radio blasting Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe.” We all sometimes ruefully ask ourselves, “What could I have done differently to change things?” In this exceptional story Marissa Lynn provides an amusing answer.

Perpendicular Time

It is an unusual, above-average story from Sam Quick, in which the premise and settings carry the day.

Late Christmas

Another very good story from Marissa Lynn. Why are we always the last to know? Myles seems to be lost in a pink fog of uncertainty.

False Alarm

Steph C has delivered a very good depiction of “first time” in public. Although, the clear distinction drawn in the story between “Trans” and “Crossdresser” may be debatable.

Nathan, Maybe, Who Knows?

Intrigue75 has written a good story about finding acceptance through sewing.

Blue Silk

Two people move toward personal goals, which seemingly are at odds. This is an exceptional story by Erisian with outstanding character development.

Yes Ma’am

Three cis-girls warmly welcome Lynn into their group, but for one night only, their girl time comes at a price. They make a pact to be totally agreeable until midnight. Maeryn Lamonte’s exceptional “coming out” story features sparkling dialogue.
