The second crusade challenge is under works:
The rules according to miss Rach:
"Write a flash fiction story (in any format) in 100 words or less, excluding the title. Begin the story with the words, “The goldfish bowl teetered” These four words will be included in the word count.
If you want to give yourself an added challenge (optional, and not part of the judging criteria), see if you can write the story in your own genre (eg if you’re a horror writer, write a horror story; a romance writer, a romance story, etc)."
My flash fiction story: -Poof-

The goldfish bowl teetered at the top of a maple tree. I am the fairy goldfish, how did a fairy like me end up a fish? Let’s just say fairy dust isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I was minding my sprinkle practice, its hard work you know, when a dragonfly zipped into my pouch. Dragonfly plus fairy dust equals mischief magic. As my hand pulled out a pinch of dust, sprinkles ran down my arm- poof fairy goldfish, my pouch fell to the toadstool, poof bowl on top a tree. Please help?
The bird turned and flew away.

Ooh dear poor fairy. I hope someone comes to rescue her. :O)
ROFL, what a Dr. Seuss sort of fairy spin. Great piece. This sounds like a chapter in the making :)

What I love about this challenge is that even with the first words the same, the stories are all so different.
Poor fairy! Fun, cute story, Summer!
Yep, your fairy's in a real predicament!
Neat story.
Wow! That's great, Summer. I can't seem to get my head around flash fiction but you seem to have a good handle on it. A fairy goldfish? Fabulous!
Aw, the poor fairy! See, you were able to write a flash fic! And a new slant, with being stuck in the tree. :)
You never know what that fairy dust will do. Great little story.

'Poof' another wonder from you, Summer! Loved it!
Fairy dust is dangerous stuff. I hope somebody rescues her.
I think this is the first fantasy one I've read - great job!
Lovely! And you incorporated the fairy too-great!
Mischief magic! I love it. This is an original and very entertaining take on the theme. Nice one!
What a fun story. At least the bird didn't try to eat the fish. Great job with the challenge! :)
Oh no! The poor goldfish! Great story Summer! =)
"minding my sprinkle practice..." LOVE that! I can picture it all in my mind. Lovely!
What a magical blog. : )
Love it! I can picture the whole scene! Fabulous!
I LOVED this, Summer.
What great voice for such a small piece of fiction.... WELL DONE!

shew! Well thank goodness for flighty birds! Good one, Summer~ :o) <3
lmao, this was so cute :) Loved all the 'poof'ing going on :)
Oh dear, stay away from that fairy dust! Very sweet little story, Summer!
Aww, poor dear. I hope another bird comes by to help!
That's hilarious! I feel bad for the fairy, although she strikes me as a bit of a mischief-maker - maybe another fairy sent the dragonfly? I hope she gets out of the tree and back into fairy form soon :D
Lovely little world you've created there :D
Uh oh! Poor fairy! I hope the bird was flying off to get help. ☺
are faries mean to birds - is this a come back time? or is he off for help - maybe thinking 'I must lay of the hemp seeds'!!! and why blame the dragon fly - I'm sure mischeivous faries have something to do with it - and look out Maple tree a cross fairy might just blast you!!!!
Wonderful post, full of whimsy! The last lines cracked me up. Well done, Summer!
Lol. Very nicely done.
:) I've always thought that birds lacked empathy.
Excellent. I'm glad you added your voice to it, Summer.
I love the voice in your entry!
Yes, I liked this very much, except of course, that it feels like there isn't quite an ending yet. Maybe you could write a flash sequel where the fish fairy is able to figure out a plan B?
Poor fairy goldfish! Stuck there where the birds won't lift a hand! Cute story!
LOL the poor poor fairy!!!
Poof! Great job. Great voice! Poof! Great story teller! Very cute and enjoyable.
I love the playful tone.
This was enchanting and unexpected! I loved it.
This was so fun! I love the fairy as a fish idea! Great job!
How on earth is she going to get out of this predicament? Loved the idea of 'mischief magic'. :-)
What a predicament! Love the idea of 'mischief magic'. :-)
