I know this is a busy time for everyone - well, maybe not busy but time-robbing all the same. I need three more judges< please and thank you!
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me.

The second only makes you wonder
The third will have you on your knees

I'm busy with Christmas pet portraits (my side business) right now, but it looks like "The Frost Lands" won the Prompt Poll. I've gone ahead and created the ad which is ready to go.
Please note that I made an executive decision and listed the deadline as December 15, so please match that when you create the thread.
Cheers!

Nice, we just had our first snowfall here in PA and it was decent enough that I'm looking out my window at some pretty frosty inspiration. Looking forward to giving this one a whirl!

these provide some info
on grammar/sentiment/readability, etc.
*IF you are interested in publishing,
especially publishing for conventional/mainstream readers,
LEXILE is a word worth exploring.
sooooo,
punctuation in compound/complex sentences
and/or clauses.
*looks for robust forumites*
*no clarifications emerge*
*looks in spag*
*sputters*
this is not an endorsement
of this edit service site.
it appeared to load cleanly
and
used some examples.
because there are excellent crafters
participating regularly in the LM Challenge,
perhaps a kwikref<--clicky
would be helpful.

i would like to nominate this forNot a whole lot of complaints here, except the fact that the ending was AWFUL! in that tear-jerking, that's-not-fair-and-I-hate-that-it-happened-and-I'm-gonna-write-my-OWN-ending type way. Did she have to commit suicide? I suppose so. Regardless, this was extremely solid. Great imagery, pacing, twists coming that I didn't see but still made sense...yeah, I liked this. Don't really care that not every line 'made sense' logically. The mood was there.
