    Read all and voted, I found that fairly easy actually. Though its worrying that out of 25,000 members, only 19 have voted

    I may disagree strongly with what you have to say, but I will die to defend your right to say it.

    Don't forget, though, Shadow, you need 100 posts by the end of December for your vote to count. Though at the rate you're going, that shouldn't be a problem.

    Methinks Shadow doth have a valid point, however, Robin. The clock steadily ticks the time away and where oh where the voters?

    No, he needs only 50, and he's already voted.

    Oh, really? Must've missed the specifics.

    I'm going to vote, I swear! Just procrastinating...

    In a race like this one, the problem of who to vote for must be a nail-biter! Wow! Close! Would it be so bad to have a four way tie?

    I don't think my English is enough to read and rate a story.

    But everyone is creative and imaginative enough to understand the meanings and imaginations that the stories represent, right? Regardless of language barrier. So vote, Turk, VOTE! !!!

    Exclamation

    Hee. I still feel like a racetrack announcer at the derby! And they're off! The Swan now drops to the inside and takes the lead, with On Terrapin Pond just two lengths behind Swan. Then it's The Killing Word , only a length behind Pond. And don't count out I Feel The West in You , only a length behind Word in the outside lane. It's gonna be a race to the finish, folks! Don't anyone leave your seats! It ain't over until it's over!

    Our competition will resume in 2007 and, as the rules state, the first elimination will be in February:
    There will be 5 selections (in February, April, June, August and October) throughout the year and only the stories which have been submitted by the first of these months latest will be included in that month's elimination. The five stories which win the each selection will take part in the final voting in November and December.
    So, we will start accepting stories for the February leg in January as usual.

    Great. This was a lot of fun, and got me writing again.
