The July Fixed-Length-Ficlet Challenge stories, with the theme of "Time in a Bottle" have now been posted. All stories were Fixed-Length Ficlets, with the element being a particular word count. We’ve had six entries:

A Light From the Shadows by Ignoble Bard Unbidden memories catch Frodo by surprise
Rededication -- by Larner There are so many memories held in this room....
Remember Today by Linaewen Faramir bids his brother farewell as Boromir leaves upon his quest.
Lessons of Birds by Erulisse
Joy Like Swords by Dreamflower A moment Merry will keep in his memory forever.
The Other by Keiliss A gate guard watches as the Queen leaves Minas Tirith.

I hope you will check out the stories, and let the authors know how you liked them!

And authors, remember that late entries are always welcome! Also, please if you have the time, try to upload your story to Many Paths to Tread within a few days. It will save your mods a little work!

The July Challenge is our annual Fixed-Length-Ficlet Challenge, and will have the theme "Time in a Bottle", which means memories you would like to keep. The element will be a number between 101 and 400. Interested authors can reply to this announcement and claim a number. No one will be allowed to have a number previously claimed. Whatever number is chosen will be the word count for your ficlet-- if you choose 237 your story must have exactly 237 words!
The July challenge stories will be due Sunday, July 14th and will be revealed on Tuesday, July 16th. Please tag your story "time in a bottle" and " '13 july". Please remember to use the header template on the community profile page, and to put the name of your story and your name in the subject line (e.g. "Frodo's Amazing Adventure by Mary Sue").
