#aeldws2019

[aeldws]

7 weeks, 8 authors, and 35 drabbles later, we’ve reached the end of AELDWS2019! Thank you so much to the writers for writing drabbles, and to everyone who read, voted, and commented. Special thanks to @flosculatory for being my sounding board while I figured out how to run this challenge!

The prompt this week was:

Prompt: Invisible Genre: AU Word count: up to 250 words

Voting this week was supremely close, with it being 50/50 until earlier today. In the end it came down to ONE vote! And now, without further ado:

The runner up of AELDWS Round 11 is @iamanonniemouse, who wrote “Prime Real Estate”.

Which means…

The winner of AELDWS Round 11 is @rudimentaryflair, who wrote “Color Theory”. Congratulations!!!!!!

Comments are being e-mailed out now to authors.
