Group 20 - crime caper / a poolroom / a couch.

I'll admit I had a minor heart attack when I saw these prompts, but crime caper was sooo much fun. Definitely played fast and loose with the poolroom, but eh, it's in the judges' hands now.

Faith, Trust, and Highly Flammable Pixie Dust

The Curiosity Club is a death-trap for faeries, but Meri is determined to get herself–and her friends–out safely. All they’ll need is faith in human men’s greed, trust in each other, and the help of some (slightly explosive) pixie dust.

Group 90: Drama / A Trading Post / A Fireplace

Hyphen-hated

A mother hatches a plan to reunite with her long-separated child, but doesn’t foresee what could foil it.


I raced to finish that not very good synopsis LOL.  We'll see how this goes. It might be more sci-fi than drama, and it might be too big for 1000 words. Whoops! Good luck everyone!

Omg. 10/10 for that title, 10/10 for that synopsis, and 10/10 for NYCM giving you comedy. But 0/10 for the rules making me wait days to read it - I wanna do that nowwwww. LOL
