Excited to read everybody's! A lot of these sound really interesting.

G1 Suspense / Five-star / a coroner

Pretty generic synopsis, but I had a ton of fun with this story!

From the Five-Star Files of Olive Lu

A young private investigator wants to take on the biggest case of her life. 

It might also be her last.

First time I'm doing this competition. Jazzed to be here for the third round. Looking forward to reading the other entries.

The Changed


The changed are pleasant to be around, and caring for them suits my temperament just fine. I don’t think much about how they used to be human, at least I didn’t before Sam arrived.

I was in group 7: Horror/recurrence/a grumpy old man

And I used two lines from my story for my synopsis, because I was too tired to come up with anything else!


What the Moon Sees
Most months, the coroner delivered the dead to town square at sunset and disposed of the porcelain-clean bones the next morning. But this was a dry month.

Micro 250 2022: What We Lost in the Tide (9th overall)

G7 - Horror | Recurrent | a grumpy old man

Someone Is In My House
Front door open, household items missing, noises from upstairs. She is not alone.

I am shaky at best on this one, friends. I was part of a 4-day weekend full of wedding festivities as two friends got married yesterday. Had minimal time to write, let alone lock myself into the mindset of horror. I crossed my fingers for RomCom or action even but I'm hoping this can still carry me through to the finals!
Cant wait to read from everyone soon!

Group 9 - Romance/Shipping out/Next-door neighbor

Phantoms

An elderly widower bears witness to a fragile romance that seems eerily familiar.

Hey there… 

Super excited to get this far. I am in group 3:  Comedy / Life Coach / Trash Talk. First time Comedy writer (other than Pol Sat!)

Good luck everyone!

If You Can’t Stand the Heat…


Lizzy is her name, and pickleball is her game until a new team at the club turns her happy place into a war zone. Will she choose the power of positive thinking or will she fight fire with fire?

Does anyone know if it's today that we have the official email about the entries? I neurotically asked if I could repair my typo but didn't hear back... I assume that means no! LOL

I'm also wondering if everyone is going to go ahead and post their R3 stories on here. Me, I'm not so sure. Anyone else in a similar boat?
