Wow what a finish!!
Yeah, no kidding! This line up is pretty good. ^_^
So, what happens if there's a tie? Will the admins pool their collective awesome together to pick the winner?
C'mon people - VOTE!!!
BUMP
We're down to the last day to vote. It doesn't take long to read and vote. :)
Going once...
(we have a tie!)
Going twice...
PS: I would like to remind that votes by members with less than 100 posts will be disregarded.
Congratulations to
the author of "Mirage", Nighteyes5678,
who is the winner of
the 2008 Literature Network Short Story Competition!
You have won the Prize (details to follow via PM and email)
I would like to thank everyone who submitted stories during the year, participated in the voting polls, and provided encouragement and support to entrants :)
If the individual authors of any of the stories submitted this year wish to reveal themselves, please do so :) by starting a new topic and re-posting your story in the Short Story Forum:

Scherezade,
Is it possible to publish the authors of the non-winners? Each of those writers won a "regional" in order to qualify for the final and the final vote was so close that all of the authors should be acknowledged for their efforts. I know I took my vote very seriously and it took me several days and a couple of rereads to select. So, regardless of whether a story received one vote or a 1000, all of these authors need to be applauded and given their due.
Now, I'm disappointed in the Lit Net. Twenty-four votes? C'mon!! We need more voters participating. Don't know what we need to do to encourage broader participation, but I think these efforts are worthy of a more attention than seems to be paid to date.
As usual, my two cents worth is probably over priced.
Q
I second your motion, Pablo. I hope we can find out who wrote each of the stories. Maybe all the authors will identify themselves.Quote:

Congratulations Nighteyes5678!
I feel kinda ashamed for asking, but where can I read them? I can't find the links.
Scher has removed them as the competition is closed. They were at the beginning of this thread.
Pablo and Dick> Throughout the competition, we ask our writers not to reveal their identities. Once the competition is over, it is up to them to reveal their identities if they choose to do so; otherwise, I feel like we would be betraying their confidentiality.
ABIGsheep As Fifth mentioned, the stories have been removed and now it is up to their writers whether they would like to share them with others.
Thank goodness the right story won
( I was not allowed to vote, not enough posts)
