Prince Sunshine was determined to change that. He wanted the Waxen Queen GONE. She is what is keeping him away from his life long love. He has to come up with a plan...

So he thought and thought some more. At last, the solution struck him. (He was a bit slow.) But he was also Prince Sunshine. And the Waxen Queen was made of wax and easily melted.

And so, MoralEnd has taken my coveted second spot on the leaderboard! I tip my hat to you, sir. ;)

It's because I'd rather do this than my job. Tip your hat to drudgery.

The site is really picking up lately, and with not too much of a dent to the overall quality of posts. :) Nice job both of you for setting a fairly consistent example of what a good post is!

I agree completely, NixonBlack. I turn around for a day -- or even 5 minutes -- and there are newly completed folds and stories. I can't keep up. I certainly can't keep up with NixonBlack who essentially folds on every story! :)

Hahaha! I try, but I'm about 50 behind right now and it's been a pretty tough time catching up this time :).

It's time-wasting at its most fun. I just read these stories and half the time I'm giggling - I'm sure my family think I'm utterly mad! It's brilliant, though. And you guys on the high-scorer leaderboard are the backbone, so thank you very much! :-D

You're not too far behind. Most of us started only a month or two ago and really, you don't need to be that prolific. I just have some kind of OCD when it comes to these things. Apparently MoralEnd does too (that and the drudgery :) Keyrinn is a very close third , but if you get 5 on a hundred stories, you're ahead of all of us :).

Aww, you're sweet, nravstar! :) I've been lagging in my posts lately, but aim to turn that around soon.

I just found this site on Friday, and I love it. I do expect that my 1:1 meetings with my manager will begin to include discussions about my productivity, but for now, this is great fun!
