My ficlets journey began just 4 months ago. One of my AP English students recommended this website to me when I shared my love of reading and writing. Curious, I logged on … and got hooked. So thank you, penguincaptain18, for introducing me to the wonder that is “ficletholicism,” as fellow ficleteer Stovohobo terms it.

My first ficlet was the beginning of a series starring a young girl, Dusty, with pre-wedding jitters. someday_93 left my first comment on that same story. She went on to become one of my favorite writers on this website and a true inspiration for me.

Since then, I have written almost 300 ficlets and commented about double that. I began as Dusty and have since gone on to experience time travel, forbidden love, unrequited love, murder, witches, damsels in distress, reluctant pirates, poisoned queens, and many, many more. My favorite ficlets? Challenges, of course.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a wonderful community. I look forward to reading and writing more ficlets!
