It's a new year, but WiP is back with more contests! We have at least 14 planned genre/prompt reaction episodes this year, and we're starting off with Writer's Playground!

To honor traditions, but also keep things fresh, we're playing around with some new guest combinations. We're starting the year off with a bang: three guests at once! We're bringing back the original duo: Trey Dowell and MM Schreier! But we're also reuniting with the person who first introduced us to Writer's Playground: former winner Ryan Fleming! This was Ryan's first time "meeting" Maggie and Trey, and--some mild fan-girling aside--everything went really well!

We hope you enjoy the episode, and best of luck with Writer's Playground's 12th Challenge!

**SPONSOR INFO**

This episode's sponsor: Ryan Fleming!

Check out his winning story--The Tragedy of Montague Bellot--on Writer's Playground "Storytime" podcast. (Thanks for the shout, Ryan)

Also, more of his work will soon be available in one of our friends at Not Quite Write's "daredevil" episodes. So keep an eye out!
