Except it isn't showing as being a comp entry. Did you remember to hit the switch? Weird that Sherzahd didn't notice when approving.

It's good now.

Woo hoo, eight up and I hear rumours of a ninth in the queue. This is moving along rather well.

I took a few days away to sort some things and I'm very excited to see so many stories in the queue! I'll catch up on them soon and I look forward to seeing more. Not that I'm being greedy or anything.

Also, I can see the irony of a Sound of Silence comp with the first post of the thread being in all caps.

Ape excited, too!!!!

By the way, I love the comp image. Very evocative. Not sure who does the work for those nowadays but if it isn't you, pass on my thanks and appreciation.

Thank you so much. It's been a team effort. Lately, I've picked a few pictures that I love and that match the theme and sent them to a brilliant friend who makes what you all see. They can see this thread, but I'll leave it up to them if they want to take the credit.

I’m being honest when I say this is the best writing I’ve seen in a comp in a while. Y’all are always good, but the level of writing seems elevated in this one. Maybe this theme just hit everyone in a way that brought out their best. 😊 I hope a lot more entries are coming!

10! We're at 10!! And it's TheShyThespian so I know it will be good when I get to it later this evening.

I was gonna say 'I'm in!' and promote my story but some Crazy Old Ape beat me to it 🤣. Not sure about it being good, though - I tend to replicate the WriterGirl school of thought (have idea, write story, read story, realise it's crap... oh well).

I see I have some reading to do.

I agree! This is an excellent comp! Not over yet….

Wishing you all a year filled with joy, success, and endless opportunities. Let's make 2024 a year to remember together! Here's to new beginnings and shared adventures.

Stay positive, and let's keep supporting each other in this amazing community!

Happy New Year!

I made it 11. Someone else will have to enter now to even it up...

This is the best pace I have seen in an SS comp in quite a while. Looking forward to seeing more. Still more than a week to go...
