Awrighty, I'm here and I've got grilled cheese to sustain me! I won't be able to post any of what I'm writing since I'm in major spoiler territory, but otherwise I'm set to go if you are. When and for how long?

605 words. Woooooo.
Ahaha, don't you love it when characters are developed enough to have conversations that flow without your help? They keep giving me plot ideas just by bantering with each other.

332 words! I've decided to start a new short story. It'll feature a few familiar faces (Ellie, Perri, me) and a couple new ones--the most important being the emotionally intense Lilah Lieber.  I'll have the story alternate between her and Ellie's perspective. Sun-dappled leaves, paint-spattered students, and winds whistling their own familiar tune. A pen twirled in her lavender fingers, then tapped against the notebook. Just like that, ink descended upon paper, each word flowing together in cursive. And just like that, Lilah Lieber found her story finished. After giving it a few staples and a name at the top — for she always saved the name for last, for it was more satisfying to affix it to a finished work — she looked down at the story and smiled.
“Congrats on your latest catastrophe,” snickered the grinning faerie Wocky beside her. Chuckling, Lilah put a paw on the Wocky’s bright pink shoulder and leaned towards an ear.
“Better than you’ll ever manage, Ellie,” she whispered. She drew away sharply as the Wocky stuck out a tongue. “Anyway!” She clapped her paws against the desk and surveyed the room. Save for her and Ellie, there were only two other members of the school literary magazine present. “Who here is ready for some full-on concrit?”
A few lazy gestures, all suggesting participation. Half-hearted participation, that is. The rest would sugarcoat their words, no doubt, but Lilah - goodness, sometimes she wondered if she was the only member with a spine! It pained her so, to see one neopet tack on an apology to feedback that did not merit one. She knew Ellie hated it, though the Wocky recoiled at proper criticism just as much. Either way, it was a trying ordeal. Neither co-editor in chief would receive the response they so desired. And yet again, the club would have to churn out an underwhelming literary magazine, because no one seemed to care.
Irritation had already flared up within her, a fierceness that contrasted sharply with her actual demeanor. Her entire appearance was built around pastels and soft shapes, from the miniature teacups she donned as earrings to the classic rosy dress that she had ironed out that very morning. |

Ahaha, okay that was pretty fun. And an accurate representation of what it's like trying to get solid, honest feedback.
