I'm in group 74, and wrote an action/adventure featuring a calendar on a high-speed train. 

My story is called ONE LAST CASE.

Synopsis: An agent on a high-speed train follows a suspicious woman through the rail cars. When he catches her, he is thrown into a situation where he must save the day – and the lives of all those aboard.

The link works, but it will probably get lost here. If you want lots of helpful feedback, you should post it in the special sub forum in it's own topic:


You can see more about how to get/give feedback in this post:

Good luck! And I hope you enjoy the experience of a really great online writers' workshop.

Hey! I'm in group 24 too.

The link for your post in the main forum list is broken so other group members might have a hard time giving feedback. I thought you'd want to know.

I felt the same way: hesitant to post mine because it was miles longer than others. I am admiring people's ability to attract their readers to read their story by giving so little away, but I was under the impression that the synopsis should be more elaborate. This is my first go round and I'm learning already 😂

Same here! In my first submission, I wrote my synopsis as a complete description of my entire story. However, after reading this guideline from the FAQ...

Q.  What is a brief synopsis of my story?
A.  A brief synopsis is a 1-2 sentence summary of your story.  It should be simple, yet very enticing (the main goal is to make the reader excited to read your story).

...I rewrote my synopsis to be a bit more of a teaser, and resubmitted.

Title:   A Killer Hike
Synopsis:   A forensic investigator goes hiking on her day off, while a serial killer is still at large.

I was in group 27 and our prompt was Fantasy/copper mine/ tuxedo.

'Three Days Ago'

A speculative fiction-fantasy story set on an Australian coastal cliffside. It is the End of Days, but deep beneath the surface of the Earth, new beginnings are about to take place.

(I don't even know how I feel about this story any more. I edited it from 1500 words to 1000 and I think doing that took something away with it. Oh well. Done and dusted now!)
