“I’m so bored!” I grumped to no-one in particular, moments before hearing ’pitter-pat, patter-pit, rat-a-tat-tat’ from under my bed. 

Ducking down to take a peremptory peek, the dust tickled and tingled the back of my nose into an explosive sneeze, startling the dust bunnies, who hopped into a heap at the foot of my bed.

A parcel lay enticingly in front of a tiny door in the skirting. I slithered onto my belly and pulled it out, reading, ‘If you’re our Alice, you’ll know just what to do.’

To no-one in particular, I happily exclaimed, “I’m going back to Wonderland!”

A good try Carrie. The fantastical element in your story is crucial to the plot.

Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
