Here are the links to the January 2012 Potluck Challenge stories! As is our tradition every January, each author either chose a "leftover" prompt from one of 2011's challenges, or chose to complete a challenge they had begun earlier.

We had eighteen stories this month!

Author: Dreamflower
Title: Reach for the Stars, Chapter VIII
Rating: G
Theme: Potluck (from the Outside the Box challenge in October, this continues the story begun there.)
Elements: three words-- wryly, hinder, table
Author's Notes: Here is Chapter VII of a story begun in October's "Outside the Box" challenge to write in a format, style or genre different than what I've written before. I have definitely never written LotR as a sort of steampunkish futuristic space opera. To keep it from getting totally out of hand, I decided to do something else I haven't tried before—each chapter is a different specific fixed length: the first chapter is 100 words, the second, 200, the next, 300, etc.
Chapter VIII is therefore 800
Summary: A familiar story in another time, another place altogether…
Word Count: 800
