The next day’s challenge will be posted at approximately 10 AM (CST) the day before.

Please read the rules and support your fellow challengers by reading, clapping, highlighting, and commenting.

We’re getting to the point where we will begin rejecting stories that don’t have the right word count or don’t have titles in title case.

Please, please, please install Grammarly and pay attention to grammar. We want people to enjoy our stories instead of finding mistakes. (And, your editors want time to write!)
