Congratulations to 

sarahjedi, Elisabeth_Long, ShaunAllan and wdhenning 

for making it this far! And, of course, our commiserations to those of you who didn't. We can assure you it was super hard to decide this round, as all your stories were of an amazing quality. Thus, we hope to see more of you soon!

And because we want to keep the pace up, we won't dawdle but send you into 

For this round, we're teaming up with the community profile

TheWarriorGoddess.

If you already know  this profile, you might guess what comes next:

 For this round, we want you to write a story with a strong female lead 💃.

 And because we're going to mash up things and genres, your story must also qualify as mystery🕵️ (the genre, not an unexplained phenomenon).

As a third element, we want you to include a twist🌀.

Your story can be a maximum of 3000 words long.

The deadline is Friday, November 17th.

And her is the Submission form.

Have fun!

After round 5, two participants will move on to the final round 6.
