My Little Coronavirus: Social Distancing is Magic

So we get:

The 18th to write over here, but the 18th and 19th for the concurrent poetry contest?

I'd better sharpen a couple virtual pencils...

We better get “Social Distancing is Magic” as a prompt.

I see the prompt suggestion, "Everything is FINE" and some small part of me wants to point out the missed opportunity at hand.

Everything is AWESOME

I find that I like this prompt.

Alas:

I'm out this round. I've got a deadline on some non-pony writing that'll be eating my time the next month or two...

Oh my god, I actually made it in! With multiple minutes to spare this time. Still did the whole thing in like the last 90 minutes, as is apparently my tradition to not start writing until the early morning of the deadline, but feels good to have written at least something after many months away from any fiction writing at all.

Congrats to everyone for making it to the top ten!

Hello, I haven't done one of these in a while. I was wondering, with rounds this small, do people normally post fic reviews after all the writers are revealed or do they write a fake review for their own story?

>>Pig-Serpent
We tend to do fake reviews. It's not fun.

>>No_Raisin
It does give a chance to blow off some steam about our perceived shortcomings and how they manifested in the story.

I used to hate my fake reviews, but I’ve sort of made my peace with them as the price we pay for small Writeoffs. I also try to use them to practice positive self-criticism. No work is perfect.

Voted. That might be all I have it in me to do.

Just letting y'all know I'm still here sometimes.
