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!

Thank you Katy, I’m so glad you enjoyed the story.
“Blood on the Snow” has all the elements of success: a memorable title that pulls the reader in, sensitivity and caring, a story that spans a life well lived, in spite of pain and loss. What a great job you did – thank you for a good read that stays in the memory for a long time.

Really well written. It took me a second reading to further grasp all the aspects of everyone’s love. The plum blossom was the second fleur prompt I came across this year and at first I wondered how I could write about that. It is the evocative red on white that made that month’s stories I feel.
