Winter Wonderland (For the Christmas Song Competition) Here's my entree!

I wrote a first draft and it's only about 500 words :/ I was writing it on wider ruled paper than I'm used to so I thought it would be longer xD I guess, is flash fiction okay?

@ExOmelas it can be any length as long as it's under 1000 words.

Might do some more editing, but I finally managed to get it under 1000 words so here goes: A New Adventure (Christmas Carol Song Entry).

Everyone --

Feel free to post the link in this thread whenever, but you can edit it as many times as you wish before the December 30th deadline. I won't judge anything officially until then.

It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas

My entry

@Elinor, I haven't even listened to mine. I may not make it, one of my family members ended up in the hospital and it has been chaotic here at home.

So I made my short story, it took longer than I expected and went through different ideas and well all of them were longer than I expected but this one kinda came out nice? there was no time stamp and I lost track of time so I hope it's ok that it's an hour late.

I'm not use to short stories so all in all it could have come out better, but could have come out much worse.

but without further ado here is the link A fantasy Christmas

Just because I think it does bare explaining as the song I had was have yourself a marry little Christmas and among the normal lyrics of happy Christmas there are lyrics such as "Next year all our troubles will be out of sight" and also "Someday soon we all will be together" which somehow inspired my to write a world where there is trouble among three common fantasy races and that Christmas is where they try to work it out and come together to work as one or "our troubles as a people are out of sight and someday soon we three species will be together" . and I did reinterpret a few things, so I do hope that was also ok.
You did say "inspiration in a place you wouldn't necessarily expect" I think if nothing else I did fulfill on that.

Anyway it was fun thank you for hosting the tournament

I can't remember the last time I wrote prose, so this was a fun challenge, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Three Wisemen: Journey Through the Stars

I keep meaning to post this but forgetting xD This is absurdly short but I wrote it on paper and it felt longer so oh well

White Christmas

Thanks guys! If you haven't yet, you have until the end of the day today to get your entries in, and I'll start looking at these all tomorrow and let you know soon.

Mistletoe

Here's my entry. My song was "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree," and the only thing I took from it for inspiration was the line about Mistletoe. (As you can probably imagine). Hopefully this'll provide a little Holiday entertainment for you.

953 Words.

Thank you all for your submissions! Over the past week, @TheBlueCat and I have been hard at work at judging your stories. Music is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season, and I enjoyed seeing how you all interpreted them.
