Orca (ID: 0000000ce89a078c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/28/2020 This is really nice for me to create short stories or comics, and they don't force you to go create an account, which is nice, because I don't want to get spammed with random emails. Good job, and thank you for the story prompt generator, Story Shack. ^^
