Oh, I love Ping stories. They sometimes go way off the beaten path for this place, but they are usually amazing, imaginative pieces.
Sonja did not have a cat. So why was this one making itself at home in her house?

The metal singer made Brenda an interesting offer, but was her interest in the music ... or him?
I came here to read stories and kick a$$ and I'm all out of stories. So how about some more stories? Because I'm actually kind of meek and not really into kicking butts. Two days left (assuming the deadline is end of day August 1). Anyone else?

I wholeheartedly agree, Verbal. Some excellent stories in this competition. With some serious contenders written by writers outside the normal crowd of winners IMHO.

Egad! My 'Contestant' badge shows 6 instead of the correct 3 competitions that I have entered and to make it even worse, the 'Competition' badge section shows FIVE, count them, FIVE (!) 'Summer Love' badges. Hopefully, one day, the techs will get everything tuned-up correctly so that the correct numbers and badges show for people.

Eek! I checked my badges and if I add up Contestant, Competition Runner-Up, Competition Top 10, and Competition Winner, it does match my competition badges so I think I am good. I notice the image for "New Year's Do Over" is MIA but I think that's been that way for a while and I've already reported it.
I assume the weird number on your Contestant badge is related to the proliferation of "Summer Love" badges so hopefully fixing that will fix both.

Comp is ticking down to it inevitable conclusion. 16 is good for here but more are still welcome. Any last minute entries lurking in the weeds?

Comp ended a midnight last night, didn't it? That's why the badges appeared on everyone's profile.

Oh, sorry Molly. I thought it ended at the beginning of 1 August. My bad!

Thanks for putting on this fun comp for all of us, Molly! ❤️
Just a simple girl from Kentucky scribbling her way through this great big world.
Summer Love has officially packed up its sandy flip-flops and gone home.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who read, wrote, voted, cheered, even those who lurked. This comp felt like a postcard from people’s hearts- sun-kissed and full of moments that felt both fleeting and forever.
The results, while important, shouldn’t matter as much as the journey. Just being part of this - sometimes odd - beautiful community of writers is a win in itself. We wrote stories that made people feel something. Isn’t that kind of magic? I truly enjoyed the different ways each of you interpreted the prompt. Well done, everyone.
"The heavy beatings of my heart a rhythm for my feet to march to..."
Thanks Molly! Great comp!

Thank you to Molly for getting this up and running.
Thank you to the mods for getting the stories up in good time.
And thank you to the writers of StoriesSpace. Because a story comp with no stories would be a bit ... pointless? Plotless, maybe? 😀
