Haha why is everyone doing letters/diary entries?! XD π
If your name is bold, that means I got an entry from you. If you submitted photography or artwork, youβll have an * next to your name. If you received bonus points for your team for whatever reason, your name will be in italics.
Unfortunately some one else had to drop out from this team, so there is, once again, an open spot on this team. If you know anyone who is interested in filling up this spot, please let them know. But until then, since Team Summer is two members short, I will be giving them 5 bonus points each round to make up for it.
Team Summer is now in the lead! :O (and they were still in the lead without the bonus points) GO TEAMS! YOU CAN DO IT!!
Also, you guys signed up for this, so please post and help your teams!
The Winner of Challenge 2 is…
(winner will receive 10 bonus points for their team)

Abby Franklin of Team Summer
Your story/letter was lovely and so heartfelt. Keep up the great work!
Once again, this was a REALLY hard decision because all of your entries were so great, so please don’t be hurt if your entry wasn’t picked! β€
Challenge 3 Prompts:
1.
Not my photo. (Although it would’ve been awesome to take this photo) Thanks to whoever this belongs to!
2.
Emily. 10. The hot pink of her outfit stood out from her pale skin.
Peter. 14. His brown hair lopped over his forehead and his shirt matched the deep blue in his eyes.
(by yours truly)
3.
“What are you doing here?”
“This is my house.”
“Not anymore.”
(also by moi)
A quick reminder that you even though you use your team name many times in your story, you’ll only get pointed (is that a word?) for one, and that the pictures/drawings included in your post (if you want to get points for them) they must be your own. π
|Getting extra points|
You can take photos or draw pictures to illustrate your story. You will get 2 points per photo and illustration.
Creativity. This is how creatively you use the prompts. At the end of each round Iβll select my favorite story and that person will earn more points for their team.
If you use the name of your team in your story, you can earn a point for your team. (e.g forest; the forest was dark and gloomy)
Youβll get a point for each prompt you use, and a point for submitting your story/poem.
Deadline: 20th of January 2018
Leave a link down below and the number of points so won’t miss your entry. π If I missed your entry for this round and you submitted it within the deadline (12th at midnight), let me know and I’ll tally up your points.
Good luck and have fun!
Sample Story (just pretend I’m on Team Forest)
Story: 1
Prompts: 3
Pictures/Artwork: none
I used my team name: 1
Total points: 5
Emily. 10. The hot pink of her outfit stood out from her pale skin.
Peter. 14. His brown hair lopped over his forehead and his shirt matched the deep blue in his eyes.
I remembered them so well. Emily’s cheerful smiles and playful ponytails. Peter’s awkward grin and thoughtful eyes. I could have been with them forever if only I had held on.
I was a friendly bear in the house, and when the two children, alone, came to my cottage seeking refuge, I invited them in and they stayed for a while. In fact, they stayed from when little Emily was dragging around her new found love of a teddy bear till she was still sleeping cuddled up next it’s patched up, furry, dirty self. That was almost four years they stayed with me.
I loved them with all my heart, and it seemed that they were now my own. Until I let them go. They were happy with me. An orphanage deemed that a bear was not fit for two children to live with, and they ripped them from me, hitting them with the news like someone’s face slapping the surface of water from a fall in the clouds.
Peter was coming home from some errands and was stopped by some people. I still remember what they said:
“What are you doing here?”
“This is my house.”
“Not anymore.”
I just stood by and told my mind that I couldn’t do anything to stop these people from taking the children that had grown to be the only joys in my life.
Emily still sometimes comes to visit me in the forest, and sometimes she comes dressed up as a Princess. When she does this, I take her hand and kiss it gently. I bow and she curtsies.
Just picture Em to be a lot smaller π
Then she laughs, throws her arms around me and gives me a long hug. I cradle her in my arms for a little bit, then we talk. We talk about anything, really. About the thoughts she’s had. About the things she has done. About the little paper doll she made yesterday.
ARGH! I DON”T KNOW HOW I FORGOT ABOUT THE CHALLENGE!!! I’m SO SORRY!!!! I’ve been SUPER busy lately… I don’t know that I can continue the challenge!!! I think you may have to find someone else for team forest… I would like to stay, but my team doesn’t deserve someone that’s so behind!!! I’m really sorry!!! When is this one due by? I could maybe try again, but it says it’s due by the 20th, yet I don’t see another challenge….
Aw, I’m so sorry, K.A! I would love it if you could continue, but I understand because life can get pretty hectic! I’m posting the next challenge soon, and you can submit for it if you like. β€ I really hope you can continue!
Hey Zielle! I wrote my last post finally! Can I still turn it in even though it’s a day late?? If it’s alright, you can just maybe take a point off or something??? If it doesn’t count, I understand.

Okay I totally forgot that the deadline was the 20th. I had finished my story by then I just forgot to post it and give the link. If I am still able to be in this round it would be totally appreciated but I also get that there was a deadline and if I’m not able to make it. I also had 13 points for this round.

I’m not going to be able to write tomorrow – can I post my entry Sunday instead? So sorry to be late, Saturdays are my Sabbaths and I don’t use the computer on that day π
Hi Tess, I’m so sorry it took me a really long time to get back to you! But yes, you can! I know it’s passed Sunday, but you can still submit it if you haven’t already. π
Hehe, sorry I didn’t enter. I’m workin on it, I couldn’t make any of last challenge’s prompts work with what I wanted to write XD Sorry. But we’ll pull ahead! π
Yes! Team Summer is in the lead! I’m going away soon, so I don’t think I’ll be able to submit next round, sorry! This time I will definitely be able to.
Hey Zielle! Sorry, I meant to tell you that my friends were coming who I hadn’t seen in 4 years and that I couldn’t post. I’ll be sure to do it this time and I love the prompts!
I’m interested in joining Team Summer, although this will be my first time doing this. Are there any requirements? I love to write, so that’s a plus. π
YAY! WE’RE IN THE LEAD! WOOHOO! OH YEAH, OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH…Sorry, *coughs* got a little carried away…XD I have the perfect way to use these points – so excited!
So sorry that I’m so late! XD Here’s my story: https://steeplechaseblog.wordpress.com/2018/01/22/house-of-ghosts-aawc-challenge-2/
