We have selected our favorites for the AAPIHM Contest Mini-Challenge #1! Due to insufficient entries, we have not chosen favorites for the Mini-Challenges #2 or #3. Without further ado, congratulations to the following users for showing us how they express gratitude to family and friends in one sentence.
@studybunnies: In the tapestry of my culture, gratitude blossoms as a symphony of whispered appreciation, while friendships bloom like rare, cherished flowers.
@kth_disneyfanatic: One word repeated twice, like a verbal kowtow—or a silent offering of steamed fish, dumplings, and home.
These phrases will be featured in @APIRomance's API Holiday Celebrations Anthology. Stay tuned for next week to see which AAPIHM main contest submissions were our favorites!

@YAFantasy To add onto the prompt challenges already mentioned, maybe those prompts could be used to make graphics/ covers too? Then there could be both writing and graphic entries (:

We'd like to apologize for the radio silence, due to recent changes, YAFantasy has been let go from the Ambassadors. It will now operate under the care of the same volunteers, but now as a community profile. We'd like to ask for your patience whilst we organize this profile so we can make it our space for young adult fantasy stories, writers and readers once more!
