The Lord of Evil finds the latest siege on his castle positively boring. Not only is Team Good not a threat, they almost seem to enjoy dying. He's about to destroy them when a mysterious woman sneaks past his walls and changes him… dismayingly, for the better. #DVPIT #OWN #ADULT #FAN #ROM #DIS #LGBT

Most high school students feel like they’re cursed, but Ria actually is—and she’s been looking forward to it. By becoming one of THE ACCURSED, she has the chance to become a princess and find her prince—unless she ends up the villain in her fairy tale. #DVPit #YA #F #LGBT

DEATH BY DOORBELL is not what Hannah thought would be on her tombstone. Branded by heart disease, her dream of joining the Marines has flat-lined. Now Hannah must learn how to live walking hand in hand with the specter of death—or die trying. #DVPit #OWN #YA #CON #DIS #LGBT

Hannah is set on joining the Marines—until she’s almost killed by a doorbell. Diagnosed with a heart disease, she’ll need to learn that even if your heart is broken—perhaps quite literally—you can still find the strength to never surrender. #DVPit #OWN #YA #CON #DIS #LGBT

Goblin Emperor X Poet Empress When forest rebel Sy's only ally—a crown-allergic prince—flees assassins & seeks her aid, she turns kingmaker to oust the tyrant hunting her. The red flag in her scheme? She's falling for this green flag prince AND the "good" power he represents #DVpit #POC #F #A #LGBT

What an honor! Thank you SO MUCH!! Also, I am tickled that one title is one word and the other is fifteen (assuming I can actually count).

I love this! Makes me wish I were on the same continent so I could bake you cupcakes!

Chocolate espresso cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream frosting and butterscotch crunch. #Vegan, of course, although I bet you can't tell.

For breakfast, I made America Toast & syrup. For lunch, a PB&J Americawich. For dinner, I ordered General America's Tofu & America Fries, but my Chinese place clearly hasn't read my Executive Order yet, so I got nothing. They will, tho, or I'll stop ordering extra fortune cookies. That'll show 'em.

I am already SO EXCITED! I adore autumn, and this #NotQuiteWritePrize round is right smack in the middle of spooky season where I live! I can't wait to pull on a chunky sweater, take a warm sip of a pumpkin spice double macchiato, and fling myself into a pile of crisp, vivid stories!

What's your favorite thing on the internet today? Caption: if you missed the solar eclipse, this is what it looked like:

Two pictures side by side. In the first, an orange cat wearing a little crocheted wreath around their face that looks like the yellow triangular rays of a stylized sun. In the second, hands are holding a Black cat wearing a gray bonnet the color of the moon's surface in front of the orange cat so that the black cat is mostly blocking the view of the orange sun cat. The sun cat is peeking out over the moon cat's shoulder a little bit.

Well, #NotQuiteWritePrize authors, I'm done with my stories for this round! I am bursting with gratitude towards all of you for sharing your incredible stories with me. They were sweet and dark and sad and weird (some weird as heck) and lush and utterly wonderful. Every word was a privilege to read.

Kit Gray aka Elise Scott (they/she) @elisescott.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

ARGHHHH DANG YOU GUYS! I really need to go to bed at some point, but I keep finding these stories that are so damn good! STOP IT! #NotQuiteWritePrize story 5022 is so layered and so aware of its own ephemeral nature, I found it achingly beautiful and couldn't resist giving it a Y.

Kit Gray aka Elise Scott (they/she) @elisescott.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

What? Another Yes? It seems like I've hit a cluster! #NotQuiteWritePrize 4865 delighted me with its rich, atmospheric prose and its well-developed character, goal, and stakes. This might be your story if you used at least one word whose origin is not English.

Kit Gray aka Elise Scott (they/she) @elisescott.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

#NotQuiteWritePrize story 4932 does a good job telling a story through an unusual and difficult point of view, and landed a complex blend of emotions that I loved. And the final line? 🫰

Kit Gray aka Elise Scott (they/she) @elisescott.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Awwww! 4827 gave me the warm and fuzzy feels! Is this #NotQuiteWritePrize story yours? I don't know... did you include an oblivious moment in your story?

1160

Kit Gray aka Elise Scott (they/she) @elisescott.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Another yes for me! #NotQuiteWritePrize 4979 hits a sweet spot that is quintessentially NQW. I mentioned allusions to films or literature in another of my vague tweets. This story has at least one such allusion, too, but nobody would call this story poignant. (At least I hope not...)

Kit Gray aka Elise Scott (they/she) @elisescott.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Omg how much fun was this episode of the Niche? I even discovered a whole new thing I was unfamiliar with, and now can't understand how I lived without. Hint: it's to do with rain.

Kit Gray aka Elise Scott (they/she) @elisescott.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

#NotQuiteWritePrize story 4797 earned a yes from me with its subtle, layered approach to a subject that's very difficult to write about well, in my opinion, as well as its utterly gorgeous prose, which flowed between stark and lush. I was deeply moved.
