The Whatever Contest -- Closed for Now

I lost my response to you--one of the dangers of having too many tabs open. Anyway, I remember I started with...

YOU WROTE A WHOLE SHORT STORY WITHOUT AN E??? THAT IS AWESOME!!! I'd actually thought of making you all do a story without an E, but thought that might be too cruel. But now you're making me wonder if it really is... Perhaps a future prompt?

Okay, then I looked up to see what the other most common letters were and lost the tab. lol But I do know that the 3 most common letters are E, A, and R (yes, EAR lol). So, I'm thinking, since consonants are such an important part of language, maybe make folks write a story without an R. We'll see...

How are the rejections going? Are they being helpful at all like try this company that does more your stuff or thanks, but we think you need more character depth from secondary characters so let us know if you rework it? Or are they just like, "No. Don't bug us again"?
