Yay! Got it in the index, and so thrilled to see another entry coming in—thanks so much!

 

(bursts into the room running from the boredom that is going to plague her job for the next 2 slow months and the writer's block that has been tormenting her)

Give me #11 @Findswoman, let's see if I can do something with it.

 

Absolutely! (And great to see you back! ) Here is no. 11 for you:

Spoiler: Dorothy Parker, "One Perfect Rose"

A single flow’r he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet—
One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;
“My fragile leaves,” it said, “his heart enclose.”
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it’s always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

 

Yay, @TheRynJedi is back! And also, I'm looking forward to catching up on the new stories posted here this week.

 

I have this one for the challenge. It is a double pairing first with Nejaa Halcyon and Scerra and second with Rostek Horn and Scerra. Scerra my love

 

Hello dear OTPers! It’s been a while, I know!

First of all, please accept my apologies for completely and totally forgetting about the deadline for our most recent challenge, the Love Poems by Women Roulette (#27), which was back on December 11; RL has been pretty rough on me lately. But I’m thrilled to finally be able to present a proper voting post for the three (3) fabulous stories that came in for that challenge:

• Two Were One by devilinthedetails (NSW: Rings of Power, with Durin and Disa)
• Scerra My Love by earlybird-obi-wan (Nejaa Halcyon and OC Scerra Lamar; OCs Rostek Horn and Scerra Lamar)
• Indescribable Devotion by WarmNyota_SweetAyesha (NSW: Star Trek, with Nyota and Spock)

(If I’ve missed any, please let me know!)

Please PM your votes to this sock. You have two (2) weeks to send in your votes: they are due Friday, January 13, 2023, at 11:59 pm (23:59) PST. You know the rules: one vote per person, no funny business with socks, no voting for yourself, etc., etc. I’ll announce the winner a day or two after the voting due date. (And this time I’ll make sure to set my mobile reminders so I don’t miss any deadlines!)

Many thanks, and happy voting to all!

 

Me again, with a reminder there is now one week left to vote in our our current challenge! Only one vote has come in so far, so I’m hoping we’ll get more. See the post directly above for details!

 

And now we’re at the three-day mark. Three (3) more days to vote before votes come due on Friday, January 13!

 

And today is the last day to vote, people! There are just about (checks watch) 19 hours left in which to do so.

 

All right, everyone! We did end up getting more votes after all (thankfully), and I am pleased to announce the winner of OTP Challenge #27: Love Poems by Women Roulette:
