Which includes a Mark Starlin special! That guy nobody knows is running for president, who also writes fiction as a side gig. 🤣

Reading about the Power Puf... I mean, um, those fictional characters that may or may not be real, was fun. Thanks for submitting, David!

💚 Thank you, Brian & Winston! 💚 I feel happy, surprised and honoured to be the winner of the sixth Lunar Award edition 🏆. This was a season with lots of entries and I'm sure that it wasn't an easy pick. Congratulations to all the participants 👏, I'll have some serious reading to do in the next days as I want to catch up with every single entry.

Thanks as well, Brian, for the kind feedback, you have a talent for analysing stories and I'm sure that every fiction writer would benefit from working with you. There's nothing better for growing as a writer than receiving constructive feedback! The more I write here, the more I realise how much I need support.

Thank you for creating this constructive and harmonious space for fiction on Substack. We need more people like you to turn this into a happy and thriving community! ✨

One Wish was meant to be a light, one-shot story, but Nilara is part of a developing series, so let's pick that one! Thank you!
