I got Horror, deficient, and a passenger.
I love reading horror but am having quite a few difficulties writing it. And -deficient-? Ugh I have about 1400 random words in one document at this point. I hope I can make it into something good.

This may be too late to be helpful, but when I got spy in the flash fiction competition, I wrote about Amish men getting hyper competetive about a harvest festival and sabotaging one another's displays, and placed first.
I've also seen comedic stories about employees trying to sneak onto the boss' computer to delete and email they sent to him by mistake do well, so... I think you have some freedom to avoid the James Bond tropes! |

Group 22: Fairy tale / nocturnal / a postwoman
Fairy tale isn't my jam, but I think I have something that will work for this!

I'm in the damage control / insider group, and you NAILED it. Elements that line up so perfectly together in a genre I've never written was somehow far worse than having to connect unrelated dots.

I got fairy tale/irresistable/defeatist
And I got what a defeatist was and how it could work for my story, but I've never once in my life been like, "Oh, yeah, that human is a real defeatist." And it threw me so much, I almost couldn't get started, which in a very meta way almost made me the defeatist of whom I was speaking.

I got Group 19, Fantasy, a cobbler and Prohibition
I only remembered about the competition last night, so I've rushed it out today. I do love fantasy though, so I'm pretty lucky to get something I'm comfortable with. Last time I went in the comp, I got Romantic Comedy and Political Satire, which both made me want to barf. This time it was Sci-Fi and now Fantasy. My luck is in.
