Storyblogging Carnival 25
Welcome to the Carnival!
What is it? Well, storyblogging (or blogfic) is simply story-telling in blog format, and the carnival collects examples submitted by anyone who wants to participate.
Different blogs volunteer to host the Storyblogging Carnival and it moves between them, usually once every two weeks. This time, it's Fiddle and Burn's turn!
