Didn't see anyone from my group (14) post, so I will...

science fiction / a military parade / a toothbrush

I didn't write a single word in the first 24 hours (just moved across the country this week and I'm SO tired), but managed to get something out today and submit. :)

Group 32 checking in: Drama | Cycling Studio | A Comb

I'm happy with what I came up with, but always afraid of whether I'm on track with the genre. Drama was so straightforward that I overthought it.

(Weird -- I got "coffee beans" as a prompt in last year's FF, I think.)

Having a problem with the ghost -- all the ones that show up so far are bent on being funny, and the genre description NYC uses emphasizes "frightening," "scary," etc.

I'll hope to get serious soon Sleepy



I had Ghost Story in the first round. I received zero points but I wrote sort of an ambiguous ghost. She appeared out of a bayou and lured my character in to it. That was all. LOL Hence the zero points. But my story was more lazy campfire build up with a quick cold splash of water at the end. 

Hopefully you were able to craft something fantastic! All the good word wishes to you!

I don't know if anyone from my group posted. 
108
we have 
Comedy
School Dance
A Calculator

I struggled with this one and I love writing pithy comedy and satire. I wound up writing a story about what I think our daughter's senior prom could be like - given her personality. 
Zero points in round 1 so this one was really for fun. 
The daughter read it and laughed out loud. Hopefully that counts for something in the universe LOL

Group 39 - Sci Fi / Accountant's Office / Billiard Ball

I was unable to participate in the first challenge, but decided to go ahead with Challenge 2 for the sake of practice and the judges' feedback. I'm not experienced with writing fiction, except through the NYC contests. Getting started is always tough, but I get a lot of satisfaction from every story completed.

I'm in your group! Rom com always seems twice as hard. You have to do rom AND com.

Went out on ghost story last year so was not super enthusiastic. Have an idea I like though so will go for it. It might be more fantasy than ghost but as I understand it any story that has a ghost qualifies. 

I went out on a ghost story last year, too. And I actually really liked mine last year. The judges didn't.

I'm in your group. I actually once again like what I wrote. We'll see what happens...
