Okay, I don't know what happened to the poll, but it broke or something and just completely disappeared, so I'll be featuring both Thomas Winship and Jacob Donley here in the next few weeks. Be sure to read their stories though, they are awesome!
Don't forget to enter the next challenge! This month is a "Bad Writing" contest. This can be in any genre, write the most
cliche story you can in 500 words or less. Remember that "Bad Writing" in this
case does not mean bad grammar, punctuation, ect. It is more for bad plot and
bad characters. Think wacky--not tacky.
