Ghosts of the Sea Queen is probably just what you think it’s going to be. I think it’s pretty good, though. Please let me know what you think!

Hey Sam! I enjoyed your story. Ghost ship, pirates and all. Perhaps if the last of the crew decided to join the Sea Queen and her malevolent ways, the story could continue on its voyage 🙂

I almost did “Time For Tea And Treachery”, but in the end I went for “Someone’s Dragon Is Double-Parked Outside”. It’s set in a world where I’ve already written twice:

Ooh, I made it in time this week! So I did The House No One Built, and I tried to do something a little different for me. My goal was to do something quiet and a little sad that builds to something vaguely horrifying. I don’t know that I exactly hit that, but here you go:
