Promptly Posting Prompts...

Hmm.... how do I choose? And where did my eyes go?

Sigh, when all was said and done the other day, Circe, Zigs, Yoga, and Chick (respectively) looked back on their community of stories and counted 70 entries.  We all then promptly fell down, squeed our pants and writhed on the floor... 

I think I'm veering off track again. *ehem* 

So, the first round of open voting for the FML contest is up HERE! Please go and cast your vote. You can pick up to FIVE in this first round, so do your darndest. 

Now, since there are 70 stories to sort through, we wanted to make it easier on you to find your cup o' tea. Your niche. Your own personal brand of OMFG-I-love-this-fic-so-much-let-me-go-tweet-it-to-the-universe-and-share! 

Below is a list of the first batch of stories in our archives. These 17 fics are apart of the ones currently up for voting on the profile. (Found HERE) I'll post the next bunch (to complete the first 35) shortly. 

These all fabulous in their own way, and they all deserve some love.
