    It's been a bit slow at the beginning, but it IS getting exciting now. I'm really looking forward to seeing which story will win. They're all great stories!

    I just finished the stories and I think these were all very good. I wish I could vote for two and then give an honorable mention to two more. With a tie I feel some pressure and I’ll have to think for a while. I wonder if anyone else is going to vote. Is there another vote if the tie remains?

    If there is a tie, we will have couple of extra days to vote, in the hope that other members will vote.

    We still have about 8 hours so...

    Wow! This is really cool! I haven't been around here that long but I've never seen anything like this. Someday, way in the future, we can be telling our grandchildren, "Ayah, (okay, a Maine colloquialism) 't was way back in ought 8...". I'd like to see some of the other stories catch up. Now that, would be something. Why don't more people vote? I mean, there must be loads of people reading this stuff, where are they?

    That is a very good question and one of the mysteries of Forum life!

    Come on LitNetters! Cast your votes.. This is our forums, I guess it's a good thing also in participating in some competition stuffs, like voting perhaps...

    where are you????

    HEY YOU!!

    …Yeah, I’m talking to you!

    Don’t just drop in to read the latest post and then leave without voting! Some members have worked hard to entertain you. The least you could do is take a few minutes to read and vote! How would you like it if…

    …Gee, thanks for voting. I knew you were one of the good guys!
