FICLET CHALLENGES – FEBRUARY 2020
Two weeks left to try our ficlet challenges for February2020!

2. For the second challenge, our crew seem to have ended up in a Vidcast Reality Show - oh, dear.
Post your stories HERE.
Huge thanks to Horizon member Purplecleric for organising another year of ficlet challenges, and to our members for their great stories and artwork.
