Topic: Just a Heads Up

I've grown frustrated with Reedsy's weekly contests, so am pulling all of my work off of it.
Which means that I'm going to put them on here, since the whole point of doing this was getting feedback to help me improve.
In addition to the Joan Dark stories that I've been putting into "Before Dark," I'm adding a bunch of short stories that have nothing to do with anything else.
Some of these are particularly rough, I fully admit. I've been getting better.
Anyway, feel free to review them. I'm not intent on publishing them any time soon, but I probably will go through—as things to fiddle with—and re-edit them as they go. So feel free to inline if you prefer. Or let me know what works and what doesn't, in a general review.

Danke.

Did I start a movement?

Thank you for telling me about TNBW! ????

Re: Just a Heads Up

Not just you. wink
I'm also on the Blue Marble Storytellers discord channel (Deidra's group).
There are quite a few people that have already John-Galted, to one degree or another.
I just hit my final frustration between knowing what was being long-listed, vs what wasn't, and the disaster that last week's winners were.
