Hooray for forced inspiration!

So, there's this creative writing contest being held by Maricopa Community Colleges. The submission deadline is November 7. I really want to enter. The problem is, I haven't had anything to submit.

To fix this, I looked through my hard drive, found a story I'd been meaning to make over (it was originally written as an alphabet story, which ended up being kind of restrictive), and voila.

So here's the first draft of a Zenithfic. How Acacia and Red met, and how she ended up taking him in. I'll try and clean this up tomorrow and get it all fluffed and pretty and ready to submit.

I love Acacia. She told me a couple of things in this fic she's never told me before. This is exactly the kind of trusting and constructive relationship I'd like to encourage with my muses, especially my orichara. ::pets Acacia::

( Acacia, meet Red. Red, meet Acacia. )

Since this is going to be entered in a contest, any comments and constructive criticisms would be really welcome. (She says, to the three or so people who read her journal. ^_^;;) I would really like to know how I can improve this before November 7... before November 5 or 6, ideally.

So please review and give C&C~~~ <3
