Fantasy, 1500 words (though the page count is much longer due to the formating), looking for readers for the whole thing.

*********************************************

To: Prince Randolf the Third
Second Lily Pad on the Right
Palace Garden Pond

Dear Prince Randolf,

Enjoying froghood? I have grown rather comfortable in it myself. The only truly horrid thing is the lack of proper scones at teatime. I have never found flies to quite make a satisfactory replacement.

I should warn you about the Princess Kathrine. I hear she has a nasty habit of carrying around a golden ball, which she throws about with a wild abandon. Several of the birds have had some unpleasant encounters with it.

Welcome to the pond.

Cordially yours,

Prince Lenford

Gotta admit, this is quite tempting. And the size seems right. And I don't think I'm actually too busy...so perhaps you could send it to me.

I can always back out if stuff happens.

That in itself is fantastic. Are you using Word?

Story on it's way to all who volunteered, those that only half-volunteered *cough*Survior*cough*, and those that actually where making a funny and I wasn't paying attention when copying emails (Sorry, Mike. Delete at will.)

Hmmm... yes the page count thing was not perphase phrases as clearly as possible I just wanted to prep anyone who requested it that I hadn't been lying about the short word count, since the letter formating spreads it out to 12-13 pages.

Okay, GZ, I'm between paintings right now (house painting, that is ), so I'd be happy to take a look.
