You did it! You wrote a thing that didn't exist a few days ago, out of a bizarre handful of prompts. Everyone gets first place from me just for that ;)
REMINDER: Do not post your story until we get a confirmation email from NYCM in a few days. A dedicated sub-forum will then appear, titled Short Story 2022 Review. Until then, drop your title and synopsis down below! I'll go first. Group 83 - thriller / maternity / a missileman. On Wings of Wax and Light Imprisoned and alone, Icarus is haunted by the eldritch terrors of the Labyrinth. As he feels himself falling for the sun god, Apollo, Icarus dares to wonder if there’s more to life than simply surviving. |

Thank you for posting this, Zoe! <3 Group 223 - fairy tale / nidification / a shut-in The Snakes That Are in Your Heart Nidah lost her heart the day her mother was eaten by a giant snake. But, when she goes down into a snake nest to kill the snake that ate her mother, she must choose between her vengeance and her mother’s memory. First time I've rushed an oh-no-it's-due-in-10-minutes synopsis in a long time, lol. Can't wait to read everyone's stories!

Oh man, and that concludes Round 1! I was in Group 211: Comedy, Surprise Party, One Trick Pony. I finished my first draft on Thursday, hated it. Edited it, still hated it. Got some other perspectives on Friday, still despised it. Decided to rewrite the whole thing as a completely different story today and submitted it at 12:56. I. Am. Exhausted. But so happy with my decision. I love my new story so much more The Black Sheep Jenny, your average aspiring musician, introduces her boyfriend to her far from average family Edited by Betzer - 23 Jan 2022 at 12:06am |

Such a big thanks to my beta readers.
This one was really hard for me, first time romance. 68 Romance - A tea party - an empty nester. A Life After Death When the kids have left, and the
significant other has died, where do you go from there? It is great to see all the new people on the forums! I have enjoyed reading your posts! Edited by Suave - 23 Jan 2022 at 12:09am |

I think the only two genres I didn't want under any circumstances were comedy or historical fiction... then I got assigned political satire. I had no idea it was a genre, and it's definitely out of my comfort zone. Somehow, I still managed to make something I'm pretty proud of!
Group 181: Political Satire - Crowdsourcing - A hacker Washed It All Away When Monty grows fed up with a corporation’s multi-generational monopoly over the town’s water supply, he gathers his coworkers to take back what they’ve earned.
