FAN FICTION – DECEMBER 2018

Comments and suggestions for future ficlet challenges are invited - what you would like in 2019? Ideas welcome HERE.
Huge thanks to Horizon member Purplecleric for organising another year of ficlet challenges, and to our members for their stories and artwork.

Reminders:
Overlong ficlets may not fit in the monthly collections, so please try to limit your contributions to 500 words. This is a family-friendly website so stories should be rated no higher than PG-13.
