Hello friends and fellow writers! With today’s first Palete Cleanser prompt, we leave behind the opening week of The First Indulgence. A short week, but a productive one nonetheless!
As of this moment, over FIFTY (50!) stories have been submitted as part of the challenge. That’s insane to me, but it’s so incredibly inspiring to see. I have been working hard behind the scenes to keep score as well, so it’s time for a look at the leaderboard!
The First Indulgence: Week 1 Leaderboard
As part of the challenge, I’ll be adding up your likes, comments, and restacks to calculate a total score for each of your works. Each week, I”ll show the top ten stories in each sub-genre of horror.
For the final week of October, I will reveal the story and author with the highest score across all the stories submitted, and they will be allowed to choose one of their submissions for a full narration on the Halloween episode of the Saved as Draft Podcast!
The stakes have never been higher. So, without further delay, let’s look at the scores. Hit the play button for an audio recap of the top 10, with some quick thoughts from myself and the Prompt Goddess

And there you have it! The top ten stories as of this morning, October 5th! Here are links to all ten:
