We're bringing them back...It's time for the WiPpys! We're happy to share some joy and kudos with our fellow Battle Ravens and reflect on some of our favorite stories from the Summer Nanofiction Writing Battle.

Justin and Jon each award a WiPpy in the following categories:

Hook

Ending

Plot

Voice

Humor

Theme

Setting

Character

and in the following genres:

Under the Bed

Coming of Age

Kindness of Strangers

Road Trip

*Full Disclosure* I had high hopes of editing up this quite a bit more--including splicing in more full-reads of the stories we got permission to share. Guys... I just couldn't swing it. This season of life is crazy busy and I'm happy/proud I can get this episode out at all, even if it's far from perfect or what I envisioned originally. I really hope you all still enjoy it.
