Re: Drabble Nominations
Y'know, this is kind of hard when I have to eliminate over 10% of the options by default...

EP 192- Zuzu's Bell by Mur Lafferty
EP 186- Turning to Stone by Steven Saus
EP 195- Menage a trois by Liz Pennies
EP 167- My Wife is a Head of Lettuce.

And I'd just like to nod at the radical and awesome job done on "The Work That Must Be Done," which is honestly one of my favorites out of my own works and which was brought to beautiful and cuddly and, above-all, brief life.
