CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Dear #WordWeavers players, it's time for your community questions if you want to see them in the March edition!
As always, @BranwenOShea and I will choose which ones to include (and we rarely exclude anything) and might edit them for brevity/clarity 🧡

#WordWeavers 5 — If you found out that someone had to live your MC’s life (like in the “Stranger than Fiction” movie), would you change the story?

For sure. I'd give them nice childhoods with loving, caring parents, a sense of belonging and community, and I wouldn't take their loved ones from them. Sure, they'd still kick some ass and learn and grow, but they wouldn't have to suffer so much for it. I couldn't be responsible for someone going through all that And no torture either!

@Bern @BranwenOShea @ElyseMGrasso We were told not to fix that, so we won't The bonus questions can transfer to the next month, so you can start thinking about them early, you can swap them for questions you don't like this month, answer them when you're bored or do anything else you can think of with them
