@whimsyfiction.bsky.socialCan’t wait to write for this one! Do you have alpaca parking on site? Or better to take the bus?
@whimsyfiction.bsky.socialFeeling pretty whimsical about jumping in to help judge The Foofs this year! The Glimmer category (up to 500 words) shall be gazed upon like a gibbous moon under the eye of Galileo. 🔭🦙🪶 Get those entries in!
@whimsyfiction.bsky.socialIt’s here! For the next few weeks, writers in this month’s Whimsy are sharing their Wholesome Horrors in this spooky, transient space. Just don’t get too cosy—the Wandering Library is always moving, like a possessed doll when you’re not looking or a power-walking psychopath with his own theme song.
@gracequon.bsky.socialReposted by @whimsyfiction.bsky.socialHurray, my li'l Wholesome Horror has been tossed into the whimsy well! Whether it sinks or swims, it was a blast writing it!
@whimsyfiction.bsky.socialThe Whimsy October submission window is now closed to writers and paranormal entities alike. You know the drill. And this month you might also know the chainsaw and the scythe and the rocking chair in the corner that won’t sit still… See you in the Wandering Library!
@whimsyfiction.bsky.socialLOL! Noted. Shall catch you in the Wandering Library… hopefully you’ll have found your vocab again by then. Otherwise, we can communicate via emojis 🤠
@whimsyfiction.bsky.socialHaha oh boy! What are we in for? (Don’t answer that! 🤣)
@polycraftual.bsky.socialReposted by @whimsyfiction.bsky.socialWell. That was certainly something 😅 Thanks for stretching me @whimsyfiction.bsky.social

@aa-long.bsky.socialReposted by @whimsyfiction.bsky.socialI've been known to write a wholesome story or two, but horror? We shall see. @whimsyfiction.bsky.social
@whimsyfiction.bsky.socialThe main thing is you made it. Like a post-script jump scare. 😄
