A beautiful, well-crafted story that avoids stereotypes. There is a stepmother, but she is not wicked. There is a stepsister, but she is understanding. There is a father who seems not to understand the protagonist's wishes, but he is simply afraid for her. In the end, the story ends with a gentle, but realistic resolution to the central conflict.
Thank you so much for the shout out dear Inkwell curators ππππ
Wait, we did not have winners this week @theinkwell?
Please see the note at the top of the post, and the announcement at the top of last week's prompt post, @iskawrites. We are changing things around. The main reason is that our curation team is being pulled in many directions, and we are looking to streamline our curation efforts, while still giving our time to the community and rewarding great stories.
That is lovely to hear. I can understand how hard it can be to read all this stories and try deciding who is the winner and who is not. Sometimes there are really really good 10 stories. Some weeks only 1 is good and rest is okay for example.
Also preparing full blown detailed post every week can be hard as well especially if you don't have enough people, enough manpower.
Inkwell is one of my fav communities for sparking imagination, pls keep it coming π ππ€π€
Thank you for the support, @arduilcelebren. Yes, choosing stories to feature vs. "winners" simplifies things tremendously. We can simply showcase some great stories we appreciated.
