Corinthian that definitely is something to think about! For this story I was going more psychological horror than detective. Nel knew she fit the description of the other victims and let herself be caught by Asshole, kind of like really awful fishing but using herself as bait. She didn’t even think that she might be related to one of the victims despite her looking similar to them probably because she has some experience passively reading DNA of other people and knows that many unrelated people share similar physical characteristics. I probably should have put more hints in that they were distantly related and will keep it in mind for the next thing I write. :D
I do want to write more in this world Nel lives in but it might not focus on Nel and Amber. What if there was someone with powers that was more mentally prepared to use them? Or maybe that was what helped this story stand out, that Nel was biting off far more than she could psychologically chew? Was the guy in the suit really on to her or was she just being paranoid? (I know the answer to that last one. ;) )
Sorry I haven’t been more active on the forums! I am still getting over Tennis Elbow in my dominate hand so I’ve been rationing my keyboard time for writing purposes and largely using my left hand.
Thank you to everyone who has read DNA-RW and to everyone who has provided their thoughts and feedback on the story! It means a lot to me to hear that people enjoyed it and that they have ideas on how it could be better! It can be tough to get feedback sometimes, particularly if you write something that’s so dark. I think it can scare people into not speaking their mind on how it could be improved. :s
I hope everyone had a Happy New Year! Let’s rock 2015 with some awesome stories and support Sparkler Monthly!
It is fantastic and wonderful that everyone so far finds the story interesting! I have some more plans for stories in the same world.
This was my first published piece of writing (not counting self published comics and the one time I had a super short comic in an indy anthology) so I am gunning for every scrap of feedback I can get! If anything jumped out at you that could be improved on let me know! Like what Olivia said! I can use that to improve! Thank you!! :D
Welcome to the forums FeralKat! :D
Hey guys here’s my entry into the Sparkler Share Your World contest:
I would have gotten it done sooner but have been fighting a bout of Tennis Elbow for the last month and a half. :C I may not be able to continue the art challenges as I can’t do a lot of extra art on the side without aggravating it. v_v

Lately I’ve been reading/studying Stephen King. Just finished reading Christine and On Writing. Both of which made me want to write so much! Very very inspiring. I recommend On Writing to anyone interested in writing as a hobby or professionally. I learned A LOT.
Hello and Welcome Amy and Emily! :D
@wonder1440 I wouldn’t eat it either. It could bite back! D:
Great job Animatorwannabe! That turned out so cute!

Great job everyone! :D
Sorry I haven’t posted the next one yet. I’ve been up to my eyeballs in vampires and talking cats from the comics I’m flatting. @_@
I hope to have April’s MPC posted up before the end of the week!
I loved it! Super sweet and cute! :D
Congrats to all the winners and thank you everyone for entering!
There were some awesome entries this month!I’m going to be posting the next prompt this week. February being a short month (and packed with at least 3 months of work for me at once) threw me for a loop so I’m a bit behind on preparing the next prompt. @_@ Should have it up by Friday! :D
However, Is there any prompt you guys would like to see for March? You may help me change my mind as to what the next one will be before Friday. :P
I really should submit something and use the skills I learned in that TV/Radio copywriting class…
Are y’all looking for about 20 minute episodes? I also noticed that between your audio dramas you have some with more detailed setting descriptions while others have more sound effects for setting. Which do you guys prefer?
Great work so far everyone! :D We still have a couple weeks left in Feb! Feel free to keep posting stuff! :D
Remember, February is only 28 days this year! :o I should get started on Next Month’s prompt. Bwahahah. :P
Wow! Thanks! :o
Also all the fanart was wonderful and cute! I posted February’s prompt in the forum yesterday by the way:
http://sparklermonthly.com/forums/topic/monthly-prompt-challenge-2-february/CourtneyLunn, it’s been extended. :D Feel free to keep submitting Winter Wonder entries! :D
