>>24645270 and >>24642344 for 4th and 5th—let’s call them honorable mentions.

To anyone who likes participating in writing comps like these (with a lot less chaos and a lot more critiquing), I’d recommend checking out /lwc/, the next of which starts on September 6th.
The next /wibac/ will take place on September 20th.

Sincerely, thank you to those of you who authentically shared your unique writing with us all.
I know I will be returning to this thread a lot, not just to re-live its craziness, but to re-read and re-cherish the earnestness of you all.
