Hi LadyArkham,

Thanks for your prompt response! I didn't use "once upon a time" or "happily ever after," so I guess I'll be good. :-D

Something that is continuous, I suppose? Like someone who is constantly working or moving or... a tv show that is always available/on, like a 24hour channel that shows "around the clock coverage" etc. Sounds tricky tbh but relatively flexible in interpretation which might help! I mean you could also take it literally, I think? So something/one actually going around a clock!

Mystery, mistaken identity, a recycler

Pretty sure I did not write a mystery, although a mistaken identity occurred

Now's as good a time as any to post here.

Group 105. Action-adventure, a one-way ticket, a manager.

It's not going well.

I'm getting worried from not having seen any groupmates (57) yet... I don't wanna be all by myself!

Group 4 for me: Political Satire/Upswing/Producer

First time participating in... well.. ANY writing competition. So of course I get Political Satire.

I've not seen any 132ers either but I swear in most NYCM contests I've done, I never see anyone from my group in R1 but when people post stories, 4 or 5 pop up out of the woodwork. 

The downside is, because I don't see anyone in my group pre-submission, I always get paranoid that I've forgotten my own name or have otherwise gotten my prompts wrong...

I get that - I neurotically re-check my prompts multiple times the first day and before and after submitting and before the deadline, just in case I somehow was looking at the wrong person.

I read this and had to go rush and re-check my prompts, in case I'd managed to like...click the wrong name or something.

Phew!
