sunny that sounds anthology length ready to me!! :3 the last short story collection i read is her body and other parties by carmen maria machado -- if surreal semi-horror is ur jam i think you would like it!! -- and it was 8 stories (although one is a novella?)
but i think it's less abt length and it depends on when you think you're ready too :0 i think to me 10 stories seems ready though so i bet you could put something together soon if u wanted :3
and ty!! i really like the myth of hou yi, it's the origin story of the mid autumn festival. it starts w an archer shooting down nine suns and ends w a woman becoming the moon!!
hbu which fairy tale did u retell?? how did u adapt it?? :3

sunny:
@xvz: this year I've probably written about 10 stories of varying length. I think I need to write a few more tbh.
Your story ideas sound super interesting! Surreal semi-horror is my jam. I am especially intrigued by the sci fi retelling of the myth (I recently wrote a sci fi retelling of a fairy tale) - which myth were you thinking?

@Wildfire: I was checking to make sure connections weren't screwing me over, so what's up?
@LupaPrinceRomulus: I got a ping from you and was replying. Otherwise, there's not much going on here so far. How are you?
Good morning. It's rainy and thundering here this morning. The dogs are freaked out and we have a tornado watch going on, according to all the phone alarms which were going off. So how is your day so far??
@xvz: Oh I love that Chinese myth! I wrote a (short) retelling of Chang'e's story a few years ago! It's such an amazing interesting myth!
I retold Rumpelstiltskin. It's basically a sci fi imagining that picks up after the original story ends. I set it on a spaceship and Rumpelstiltskin is some kind of alien/demon, and the king is a bad guy, and they go down to a foreign planet and get eaten by a sandworm. Lol it sounds ridiculous when I phrase it like that xD
@sunny: Yes, scary! It doesn't happen very often around here, fortunately, but it's never much fun to be woken up in the wee hours of the morning due to all the phones going off with alerts (but I'd rather that than be obliterated in my sleep, I think). And yes, all is fine here. The sun is out now and the weather is much cooler than it has been recently! Thanks for your concern though! <3
How are you doing today?
How are you doing today?
Hello! Feels like forever since I've been on my computer. =O
I missed you guys and this thread. <3
I missed you guys and this thread. <3
@Wildfire: That's good to hear! That must have been an unsettling way to wake up:O
I'm doing OK thanks, still a bit dizzy today but nothing too bad. I went grocery shopping today, it took so long :( we have to walk, and it's such a long journey I feel like Frodo going up Mount Doom lmao.
-sorry, I disappeared. Oops-
@sunny: Yes, it wasn't the most fun, but it could have been worse.
Oh! I remember days of having to walk to get (and then bring home) groceries! That's not a lot of fun.
What else is going on with you today - anything?

@Wildfire: It's such a drag. But my mum went and sold our car so it's the only way we can get groceries now :/
I have done literally nothing else, I am supposed to be doing some writing now but idk if I can concentrate....

@sunny: Still dealing with head stuff? :( I'm sorry. Why did your mom sell the car? It sounds like it was unexpected!

@wildfire: My eyes feel lifeless, lately.
It's terrifying, really.
It's terrifying, really.
@xvz: thank you. The storm was fine. It really just brought in some colder weather, which is a nice change of pace tbh.
@LupaPrinceRomulus: What does that mean? Is an eye exam in your future or is there something else going on?

Also Good morning to everyone who's around.
I am noticing some extra event currency and a few more volts than what I had last night, but haven't gotten around to reading any updates or pings yet - although it's pretty clear that the prize awards from the event have been awarded. I should go see what's going on.
How is everyone today?
