[DickZ]

Gee, Scheherezade, with your new signature, I now forget which side the jokers are on, and I've lost track of the clowns entirely.

But I guess nothing stays the same forever.

Gee, Scheherezade, with your new signature, I now forget which side the jokers are on, and I've lost track of the clowns entirely.Sorry for the confusion. Just thought it is essential that I should remind everyone to be educated.

(Clowns to the left, jokers to the right, by the way. To remember in future, "clown" has an "l" in it - for "left" and "joker" has an "r" for "right".)

But I guess nothing stays the same forever.But the localities of jokers and clowns will always remain the same!

June is Chrysanthemum month!

[motherhubbard]

I can't believe it- I haven't even started reading yet!! I have to get started-

[tractatus]

I actually think it's November's flower. June's flower is the rose. I used to be big into birthstones and birth flowers. Now, one's as good as the other to me when it comes to birthstones and birth flowers.

With regard to the stories, as usual, I'm torn, but I can't say over which ones.

Yes it is also same in here too, and Turkish name is "Kasımpatı", means 'november flower'.
In June, honeysuckles are giving their best smells, as well as roses.

[Scheherazade]

Tractacus,

rose, honeysuckle or chrysanthemum, you should take part in the poll and vote for the story you like! :)

PS: Who is in your avatar?

I Will keep my promise tonight, i have enough free time finally.


That's interesting. And I was just thinking the other day that I didn't one word of Turkish. Now I know how to say "chrysanthemum" in Turkish. Cool! :)

Funny, and follow my messages to improve ;)

Welcome to the Forum!

You need to have at least 100 posts to be able to vote in the poll. If you reach that number by June 30, you can still vote.

[Scheherazade]

It saddens me greatly to announce that the entry "Emily's Gift" has been disqualified.

Those of you who have voted for this story should be able to vote for another one, should you like to do so.

[motherhubbard]

For a change I'm not scurrying to read and vote the last minute. :D Feels good. ;)

for a change I am and it stinks!

[Captain Pike]

What the___?!
I really thought, I mean REALLY, that I was suffering my biggest fear:

early-onset!!

Sheesh

[Scheherazade]

Going once...

[Scheherazade]

Going twice...

[Captain Pike]

But it's still the 30th... I needed a few more hours of life experience -- I was still waiting for the insight necessary to cast my vote... I guess it is late afternoon in the United Kingdom, though, so... okay.

I guess I sort of liked the missing one. Whoops, I'm kind of commenting, aren't I,? But then, again, that one won't be part of the 2008 final, will it.?

[Scheherazade]

Congratulations to the author of "Evidence of Rainfall", which is the winner of our June elimination.

Many, many thanks to everyone who has taken in part in the competition and spared some time to read and vote.

You can now submit your stories for the August elimination.
