Hello!! Congrats on jumping into the deep end on the most oddly specific NYCM contest ever. I hope this week treated you well and you managed to get your inner voice to stop rhyming sooner than later. ;) Please don't post your story until we get the all-clear email from NYCM (usually about 72 hours, so Tuesdayish).

But in the meanwhile, feel free to share your prompts, titles, and synopses below! I'm super stoked to see what everyone came up with!! :)

Woohoo!! Thank you for kicking us off; this is my favorite thread of every competition! I'd love to see yours, too, Taylor Smile

Group 86: Sci-Fi/Discipline/Horrified

CW: Car accident/death of a child/child abuse (Went a bit dark with this one)

HEART SONG

SYNOPSIS: When a teenager’s car accident ends in the death of her younger sibling, her abusive mother sends her to a reformatory where “undesirables” are locked away to build the steel guards that patrol the city. Once there, the girl turns her attention to the far more important task of building a final resting place for her sister’s soul.

Group 86 - Sci-Fi / Discipline / Horrified


A Whole New World


After many years in space, 

A crew dreams of a new home base.

But there are safety rules in place 

That they should follow, just in case.

MINE TOO! I'm so impatient to read so the synopses are an excellent treat. Yours is so no exception!! So much promise, especially with that emotion paired with that worldbuilding omg. Can't wait to read your poetry with a rhyme to it <3

Thanks, that's kind of you!! :) I'll share shortly

Group 53, Action /Adventure, Hunger (theme), Infuriated

Kallie’s Dallies
 
After a sleepy butterfly presses snooze on her big debut, she emerges from her cocoon alone and greatly overdue. Will her natural instincts lead her to the ultimate prize, or will her late start doom her to wander adrift in the skies?


This was a really fun and very difficult challenge for me. I can't wait to read everyone's stories! Congratulations all!

Group 7 - comedy / garbage / overwhelmed

And of COURSE I just reread mine and at exactly 5am - 1 minute after the deadline - spotted a missing period and a missing semi colon. Ah well. 

Cinders, Recycled

 

Who wants a garbage-filled life of cleaning and skivvying when, with a little help from a Fairy Godmother, you can go to the BALLROOM! But far, far better to meet a queen than some prince.

Group 57:
 Fairy Tale/Fantasy ... prophetic ... worried


THE MID-EVIL QUEEN

(simple title, like classic FTs)


Afraid of meeting the same fate as other wicked queens, Queen Lyndora tries to change her ways.

It doesn't always go so well, and the narrator’s skepticism doesn't help any.

Group 37 - Rom Com - Jealousy - Ashamed. We all know Tinder is the HEIGHT of romance, so wait til you read about Cinder. ;) 

Mira On the Wall

 Bea is a witch unlike any other,

All she wants is to feel her heart flutter.

Wish as she might, the truth is this:

Only princesses get a true love’s kiss.
