Hey, just wanted to let you know that I'm moving my stories. "My King of Flowers" has a new home on inkitt. Same username (honeylocust). I know you wanted to read it to the end, and I appreciate it. :) I really loved Love & Other Curses.

I seriously didn't think I would finish ONC this year with 16k words left to write in the last two weeks. Love & Other Curses, 1985 has exacted a toll on me, which makes this announcement all the sweeter: I'm done!!  Thank you to my readers and those supporting the ONC Contest. I love the annual push to create a new story. This one finished at 36,000 words. Big congrats to everyone submitting their completed story to ONC 2024 <3

I submitted Love & Other Curses, 1985, to ONC 2024 for round one today. A huge thanks to everyone providing feedback and support, and sorry for all the update notifications. It's hard not to obsess over the first couple of chapters. But it's done and submitted, and I've already passed the 8000 word count for round two, so I'm way ahead of where I was with ONC last year as a newbie :) 
          
          I'm up to 68 reviewed ONC entries now and in awe. My ONC Favorites Watchlist is at 49 entries. The judges have an impossible task. Best of luck to everyone <3

@ThePerfectChild13 the fact that it's inspired by Frankenstein, and has 80s vibes with all the wonderful grim darkness makes my lil' heart sing!
