Author's Note:

September 2022 flashfic based on the prompt "Even the Heartless Have a Heart" by Impossible Numbers. Loganberry made a typo-inspired quip about 15-word entries being "perfectly eligible", and given that I'd completely forgotten to write an entry until the 11th hour, I figured I might as well take that ball and run with it!

(Fun Fact: this Author's Note is about 4.75 times longer than the fic itself.)

UPDATE: This submission went on to become the winning entry! Thanks again, Loganberry!

Did he mean to say 150-word entries instead?

Yeah, basically:

Here we go with another FF150. The last time I wrote that term in a PM, I accidentally said "FF15" ... Mind you, the 150-word maximum in these contests is just that, so a 15-word entry would be perfectly eligible.
