One vote per day... We are doing very well indeed this month! :)

I'm just amazed that there are only two stories this time around, especially after last month's, what, 5?

We had seven entries in February. Usually one busy month is followed by a more quiet month.

There wasn't any sort of promotion or a deadline advertised for this round of eliminations. Having looked through the original info about the 2008 competition I found the deadline hidden in there, but it wasn't exactly clear or easy to find. Will there be any promotion for the next round?

We do not usually promote each round as the deadlines are clearly stated within the Competition Rules.

The next round will be in June, which means you can submit your stories during May.

Was a really difficult decision.

True, both stories are equally engaging and interesting! :)

To be honest, having only two entrants this month, I was hoping that we might have more votes. :(

"Only" because we had seven stories in the previous elimination.

And here's a KitKat for voting today:

You mean i get a kitkat too if i vote?...
*starts reading the stories almost immediately*

:D

Well, if we could only get two, we got two hard choices... To vote or not to vote and think about it a while longer... hummm.... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1.../Four/Nada.gif Well, it's a deep subject...

I voted, but both stories drew me in and kept my interest high for the entire read. What a difficult choice .... but my vote's in.

Wow, it's close, 8-10 currently. I haven't read them yet. Just printed them out and will look them over over the week.

I'm afraid I always seem to wait for the end of the month. I don't think I've ever missed. Perhpas once by accident. Maybe not. I can't remember. Voting for the stories should be an obligation to all lit net members. ;) Now if we could get Janine to vote. :lol:

Going once...

That was tough, I mean really tough! -but I did it.

this time around was much harder to choose. I liked them both very much but I made my decision.

I read them too and I'm finding this very hard. I really can't make up my mind. I'll give it until tonight. Maybe something will dawn on me. :D

Ok, I voted. It was a tough call. I may have caused a problem. It's now tied. :D I hope someone comes along and breaks the tie.

Going twice...

Cant believe i never voted in it. I read the stories ages ago and decided on one, probably the electricity went out just at that moment... cant exactly remember. However, voted now. :)

Congratulations to the writer of "Mirage", who is the winner of our April elimination.

You can now submit your stories for the June elimination.
