You rocked this story! I loved everything about it. From beginning to end.
At first I thought, oh no, not another princess, toad kinda thing and then, WALLA, a great twist and heartwarming story. Well done! Well done. Gimme a PM when the voting starts. I always come one day too late.

I like this quirky fairy story. Ironic how the pretty princess assumed that she would be the chosen one - isn't that always the way. Glad to read this fairy story turned out different. Personally I'd much rather wander the gardens to have to listen to the swain's proclaim daily.

An excellent flash fiction fairy tale! Your characters are well developed and your flow without reproach. The story line is unique and held my interest from start to finish. I am very partial to fantasy stories, and this one was a delight to read. Excellent job!

What a wonderful story, I really enjoyed it. So you were inspired for this by a dream? That happened to me, once. An excellent story, and good luck in the contest.

Dreams do come in handy. I have put pencil and paper next to my bed. I don't make it to write them down. Great story and a wonderful contest entry. Good luck, joan marie

What a delightful tale. I have only just started reading flash fiction and this is a great beginning. I love the clever way you launch straight into the story, but of course this style of writing leaves no margin for waffle! (just Quaffel) And how you manage to incorporate all the required elements. I really wish you the best in the competition. I'm sure this deserves to do well.
