Day 1 (Oct 18) for the Polinween Prompt Event is "Pumpkin" (and/or Haunted House). For some reason I thought this would be the fluffiest prompt day xD but the algorithm sent me these and now I think it might be the smuttiest prompt 🎃

Also…..as I was making the "answer sheet" all I could think about was this picture.

I'll be back tomorrow (after some rest) to thank more folks, but I'm curious...Now that the collection is no longer anonymous/all our secrets are revealed, did any of your suspicions prove true? Did you manage to unmask any of our authors?

Happy Anniversary, Polin and Polinators 🩵 One year ago, our souls left our bodies the moment we heard the string version of 𝘠𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 drift in, carrying soon-to-be Penelope Bridgerton down the aisle, to her/our Colin.

If anyone would like to attempt a guess at who wrote what…I will be donating $10 in the name of whoever gets the most right to the Trans Empowerment Project via the Bton Pride 2025 event.

An epistolary meet cute framed by chaotic Polin ‘babies’ and a proud Dad telling the story of how he met their Mother!

Chapter 1 is such fun and a perfect nod to our canonically letter loving duo.
