Breaking Free with Bruce

Wow!! That was the first word that came to my mind when I saw the entries for Writing Contest VI, themed “Breaking Free.” When I first announced the theme, I honestly wondered if I’d made it too difficult. Entries weren’t coming in at first, and I started thinking, “Oh no… maybe people aren’t feeling this one.” But then… right before the deadline, the stories started pouring in, and every single one was top-notch. The depth, creativity, and emotional honesty blew me away. So first, a big thank you to everyone who took part..Marine, Aarya, Anonymous Writer, LemonAfterLove, Bruce, and yes, me too (extra thanks to myself for hosting it) 😅. You all made this one of the most meaningful contests we’ve ever had. And now, we have a winner. Bruce and “Born Free” Above all, Bruce’s entry captured people’s hearts and emerged as the winner of this competition. Now, a few words about Bruce himself. He’s one of our community admins, calm, thoughtful, and always ready to handle any situation with c...

An Interview with Laxman, Beyond the Bots and the Banter

Image
One glance at Laxman’s profile and you get the picture: the August Writing Contest’s landslide winner wears many hats in Fluent English, far beyond being ‘just a member’.  He builds and runs many of the server’s bots, hosts events, creates content, and plays a big part in keeping the server buzzing with energy and humor– among other roles. Having this interview with Laxman felt like talking to a friend at 3 a.m., with just the right amount of tipsiness: candid, reflective, revealing.   In this spotlight, we get to see the person  behind the wisecracks, the tech work, and the  infamous ‘Need a Rich Wife’ badge. On Winning the Writing Contest Aarya: What were your honest thoughts when you found out you won the August Writing Contest? Laxman: Okay. My honest thoughts were like… there were so many good entries. I don’t know, I saw the voting thing and people were voting for my story, and I couldn’t understand why they were doing that. A: What makes you say that? Were ...
