Congratulations Petrarch. If you want any comments on it let me know. I almost voted for it.

[Petrarch's Love]

WOW!!! " Thanks to everyone who voted for my story, and thanks to all the other wonderful authors who provided formidable competition, and whose stories I greatly enjoyed reading myself. I am truly honored to have been chosen from among such a talented group.

Congratulations Petrarch. If you want any comments on it let me know. I almost voted for it.

Thanks, Virg. I would certainly appreciate any sort of outside crit. you or anyone else would care to provide. I've started up a second thread for any comments and posted a link to it below. Don't want to clog up this thread too much, but I'd love to know what it was people thought did and did not work.

Congratulations, Petrarch, on a job well done!

It was very difficult to pick a favorite, as there really are some fine writers here!

Congrats Petrarch!!! I really liked your story (and the other stories being great as well, that multiplies your success ).

[Sweets America]

I really hesitated to vote for that story too. Congratulations.

[Lily Adams]

I love that Petrarch! I loved the ending. At first I thought, "Wait a minna..." but then I pieced it together. I love how it all ties together. Great job!

I would like to point out one common feature of all these stories, for all of us who did NOT make it into this competition.

This may be a minor matter in the eyes of some, but I think it's VERY important in reading stories on a computer screen. In books on paper, you will not see blank lines between paragraphs, but to make your story more readable on a computer screen, it is virtually ESSENTIAL to do this.

Compare the eye appeal of the stories that made it to the final competition to the appeal of stories that don't have these blank lines, and I hope you'll agree that the blank lines help a great deal.

[Logos]

It's a good point you make DickZ

In August we asked that authors change they way they submit stories and for next year's competition too we will definitely encourage people to make submissions that are crafted as such that they are 'appealing' in this vBulletin setting. Many get submitted with html code and that does not 'translate' here so formatting gets lost.

[Zippy]

Well done Petrarch and congratulations to all the authors who entered.

Zippy.

I have been reading stories, since long and my favorite stories are satires, but when I went through these stories, I found that they are really excellent and many of the story-tellers, out there have the ability to be Chekhov, Muppasant, O Henry or Stephen Leacock!!!

Best of luck!!!

Plz bless me that I might have got my story included here too!

How can I get my stories published here?
Can banyone get his stories here, or anyone checks them?
