Oh, I completely forgot to comment on your recording, Keep Looking. It´s lovely!

And I really enjoyed your story, Vulpes! (on my first readthrough someone was talking to me at the same time so I didn´t really pay attention to it, and I gotta say, I did not see that ending coming. :'D And I enjoyed it even more when reading with full focus!)

Ooh, Vulpes and Grey, what wonderful works! Both put a smile on my face, the conclusion of Vulpes’ story may have made me chuckle aloud  ;D

Vulpes, I very much like how you describe Signe’s thinking about her accidental survival.

Grey, I love the details, the translucent reindeer, the ears on everyone, Emil’s sparkle... and poor Onni, he just can’t catch a break, always the braidy one gets him!

Thanks Wave, Jitter and Keep Looking! I'm happy that you liked it!
I'll be out today, so I can't comment on the other great works from the last days yet. But tomorrow, I believe, I'll have some more time.
Butter Good!

Note: I'm curious to see if something that's very obvious to me in the drawing is also for you...

I was just about to comment whether that was your intention. :'D Wonderful drawing, Grey, I love all the details!

I noticed the reindeer was a spirit, but I think my brain still treats her human form as the "default" from which all alternative appearances are derived, while the "default" here is definitely her spirit-bird form.

Aaa, grey, that's awesome! I did not spot the reindeer detail, and should have... I was thinking, "There's someone missing..." I love the lads all dressed as elves - I chuckled aloud at that.

Thanks all for the kind words about my story. I was intrigued by Signe too - interesting mix of salt and empathy. But let's be honest... it was just an elaborate set-up for a stupid punch-line!  ;D

Jitter, I'm glad you liked her thoughts on survival. I'm fascinated by how it must have been for them all, but she seems to me to have been especially lucky. The Norway group were in a isolated town, which I suppose is pure luck, although you could argue that they chose to live in an awkwardly remote place. The Swedish and Finnish groups were actively choosing to escape. Signe and Michael survived purely through a series of lucky coincidences.

Love your drawing, Grey! Their little elf ears are so cute :'D and RIP to Onni, I imagine being on the receiving end of that braid is an unfortunate ordeal.
