Spin A Tale Contest
The Tales Pensieve has always been about TALES.
It does not matter where the tales are from, who talks about them, what they talk about or what age they talk from – what matters is that they talk and we hear.
This month we think giving you prompts and then see you spin a tale around those will be fun. So here it is, giving you direction as well as flexibility to spin a quick, short tale…….
