I'm writing a short story about coral and unrequited love.

Post your favorite fun fact about coral. Or about unrequited love, although those are probably less "fun facts" and more... not... fun... or facts....

okay, let's see. coral. there's some coral you can't touch because it stings. and there's a type of coral that looks a bit like a brain and it's even called brain coral!

Not bad for ten years later!

Except if you mean fire coral. In which case, you fail, because fire coral isn't actually coral. :-P

i already did. i made it about palm trees instead.

i wish you'd asked a question about palm trees instead. i did much better on those! they don't grow where temperatures go below freezing, and i can draw you an awesome mexican fan palm!

Now, that's just silly. A story about unrequited love among coral is one thing. But a story about unrequited love among palm trees! Preposterous!

Still, a mexican fan palm could be a nice illustration for the cover... Maybe I can work one into the story!

yes, it would make a nice illustration for pretty much any story about unrequited love. let me know when you get to that stage!
