All hail the mighty wheel.
This community and how we show up for each other is the best thing ever. I'm so happy that we're here and can keep Spuffy alive after all this time. <3
Dear members, the prompts you submitted were amazing! And I love how everyone interpreted them. Outstanding work, team.
It was my first time writing for an event. Super fun! Can't wait to do it again next year!
This event was a blast and the awards are gorgeous. Thanks for another great round of Short & Spuffy mods!
My lame comment is that IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!
The awards are out of this world <3
Nothing lame about that comment, Marina! It WAS so fun!! 
This event should be a staple! It was a great experience. And gah, those awards! I can't stop staring at them with heart eyes. 
The numbers of Short & Spuffy are always through the roof! The chaotic fun provided by the prompt Wheel is unmatched 🤣
Thank you for hosting a second edition! I'd be elated to see a new edition every year... or until our SADmins have the energy to host it 🥰
And look at those glorious awards! Thank you, loveisntbrains!
