A short while back
sydmcginley challenged folks to write seven ficlets in response to
her contribution to
Torquere Press's anniversary celebration (a Birthday Candle lit by a TP author daily all month). The baby-fics were each to be inspired by a color from the venerable
Hanky Code, and the prize is a quilt lovingly stitched by Tommy, hapless victim of the illustrious Dr. Fell of Syd's fabulous tale,
"Pet Sitting."So, I wrote, I sweated, I violated the word count limits, and (blushes, stammers) I won!
And you can read the
other four finalists!! Don't miss Angel's Gray Flannel, Gabrielle's Yellow, Morgan's Purple, and Meg's Mustard.
Watch for my own Birthday Candle later in the month!
Cheers,
Lee
