Hello again! The time of our contest draws near, and I was wondering if you wonderful souls would have the time to beta-read the new draft of Goddess / Zauberin (link below), mainly for the changed ending. It now sits under 5k words – but I want to make sure…[Read more]

@morreafirebird *throws feathers* Nice to meet you Khylie. Welcome to Story Embers! Fortunately you’re in the best guild. Kree, kree Ereki! ๐
