More stories...

[Scheherazade]

Wow! Already got some votes in! Thank you guys! :) :thumbs_up

[RobinHood3000]

Indeed, that was pretty quick.

[rabid reader]

Wonderful entries thus far.

[RobinHood3000]

Well, there's plenty of time for you to build up 100 posts -- it's not hard at all, especially with a whole month to do it in.

I also have to say, it's really refreshing to see someone notice and observe the 100-post minimum requirement. We've had occasional trouble with people voting before they were supposed to.

[Pendragon]

The stories were all pretty amazing this round! Good show, everyone! I came down to a choice between three. I read them out loud to get a feel for the sound of the story, then managed to make a choice, but it was a tough one!

A note for the writers: Remember that the people who read the stories are likely writers of one type or another themselves. That means that we have met that bane of all writers The Editor... Not proofreading your work before submission may hurt what is otherwise a very good story! Always be careful! Good luck! And may the votes be with you!:)

[Logos]

A great array of entries so far! :thumbs_up

[AimusSage]

Indeed, another outstanding selection of stories, I'll just let them sink in and vote later. :)

[Shannanigan]

will return after practicing for the oral report i have to give this afternoon, so glad to see that there was no shortage of stories! :D

[RobinHood3000]

I wonder if perhaps we might have another runaway this elimination.

[Pendragon]

Indeed, Robin! The voting so far mirrors last time closely. Hummmm. :)

[Virgil]

The stories are getting better and better each month. I'm having a hard time deciding.

[SleepyWitch]

hehe, I meant to submit a story but it got lost somewhere in the depths of yahoo mail. I'm glad it got stuck, though, seeing as it wouln't have stood a chance against these great stories :)
some of them are real masterpieces, in my humble opinion

[Shannanigan]

harumph, I'm having trouble finding time to finish reading them all, every time I get a spare moment somebody needs me for something...

maybe I'll have to scheadule in some time just for this, lol :p

[Virgil]

I won't be around next week, so I voted now. Good stories all around.

[Scheherazade]

I am a little disappointed with the low number of votes cast. One cannot help expecting more from the members of a literature forum but... c'est la vie, I guess!

[SleepyWitch]

how do you like my new sig, Scher?
hope it's not too straightforward :)

[Scheherazade]

how do you like my new sig, Scher?
hope it's not too straightforward :):D

I love it, Sleepy! Thank you very much! :thumbs_up

[SleepyWitch]

heeheee. I'll change my what's-called (the line under your nick) to "Bossy ***** from Hell" if it fits in the slot :)

[Pendragon]

Hummm. It's the 20th of the month and we seem to have another runaway winner in progress! Are there not some people out there who think that all the stories deserve at least ONE vote? :idea: :)

[Virgil]

BUMP

Come on people. You have an obligation to vote.

[RobinHood3000]

Consider the obligation fulfilled.

[Virgil]

BUMP

We are coming to the end of the month. Let's get some more voters.

[Scheherazade]

Going once...

[Scheherazade]

Going twice...

[RobinHood3000]

Congratulations to the winner yet?
