Good morning! I'll just leave this here.
https://www.storiesspace.com/forum/stories-space-writing-prompts-challenges/photo-challenge
Hello. We thought it would be fun to give you all a photo challenge to keep those creative juices flowing. You all came through beautifully with the last competition and we don't want the momentum to stop!
Here are the rules:
- I will give the photo prompt, every story should have the photo as its cover(if you need help let me know).
- From there you are free to take it where ever you'd like and in whatever category and length you choose.
- Please make sure to follow Storiespace guidelines for acceptable content.
- Please include Photo as a tag.
- This is just a challenge and all for fun, no prizes or awards will be given.
- There is no time limit for entries.
Here is your photo prompt...have fun with it!
By now some of you may have noticed a change in the profiles. We ask for your patience as we go through these updates. Comments may be missing from your profile since there are so many they are uploading separately. Also, some of your badges may be a bit screwy but we are working on those as well.
One last thing. At this time we are having a "Time Out" issue. I believe the time is an hour, but if you are writing on the site please be sure to save often so you do not lose your story. If this is not ideal you could always write off the site and then copy/paste your stories here.
I apologize to anyone that may have already lost stories and I thank you all for your patience during these changes.
Profiles - Updates And New Features
The team is continuously working on the site to bring you improvements and is now ready to launch a new look and feel to the profile pages, with a number of updates and features thrown in.
As technology progresses and improves, we have always found it to be our responsibility to ensure that our standards don't fall behind. This is why our development of the site never stops, either on the front-facing appearance of the site or systems that operate behind the scenes.
Our focus with profiles has been to give an up-to-date look and feel, prioritizing improvements for mobile device users, making many of the options easier to use, and giving users more control over what content they would like to show.
Profile updates will start rolling out from the 31st of October!
I would like to thank each and every one of you that participated, read, scored, commented, and judged. We couldn't do this without you and I appreciate you and your contributions to this site.
So without further ado, I would like to congratulate your top 10!

There should be one more, but for some reason my entry attempts are not going ahead, and I'm even being asked to verify my pen-name. Something funny somewhere, since I submitted a story just a fortnight ago without this palaver! I wouldn't care they must know that it cannot be a threat to any of the current excellent entries!
That's not good. I've sent you a message.
~•~
If anyone else has this issue please let me know.

I have also shared this on a few sites. The more the better.
Also, I would like to take a second for anyone using stanzas. In case you don't know they don't always line up correctly when you copy/paste your poem from another place. It has been this way for years. Here is a quick fix. Well, easy fix, it's not really quick.
Here
Is
An
Example.
To have those connected with a single space so you can proper space between stanzas, backspace Is beside Here
HereIs
and then hit control-enter so Is moves back down. Repeat with the following line.
IsAn control-enter.
Once you have each line how you want, just hit enter to start the next stanza. I really hope this is not too confusing and if you have any questions please feel free to ask me.

With the site changing and growing we wanted to have a place to share some of the important ones with you. We'll start with Scoring.
~*~
We have decided to move to a simple like-based approach for stories. Shortly, you will see the following options at the bottom of each story:
❤️ This will give the story a like, equivalent to 1 point
⭐ This will favorite the story, equivalent to 1 point, and also add the story to your favorite list.
So if you like and favorite a story, you will be increasing its score by 2.
If you like it, or favourite it, but not both, you will increase its score by 1.
You will be able to access the list of stories you have read and liked, as well as see which you have favourited, all from your profile menu.
If you dislike the story, you will not be able to negatively affect the score. You can still comment, however, we ask you to be respectful of our authors and keep your comments constructive and civil.
As much as I’m sure all authors appreciate you indicating you like their work, the comments and feedback are really what helps authors know what works, what doesn’t, what has resonated with readers, etc, so we would encourage you to take a moment and comment on something you like.
For all stories posted on site until the change, the current score will be added to the number of times it’s previously been favorited in order to arrive at the new score. This is regardless of what rating the story was given when it was scored.
These changes will hopefully be made live over the next week.
Good morning to you all. I thought I would leave this here.
