There was some awesome stories by everyone. I loved it and want more!
Plus I wanted to post something so I can tell when you come back with your winners.

Will the winners be notified personally? Or will the results be posted in this thread? Personally, I would like to see all of the results. Thanks!

*taps watch* *cough* hello? judges?

not a one liner



Roswell.

You are being watched. And judged. Mostly judged. Always.

DE

We 'all' win! Did I miss something or is the judgeing just taking forever?

I am here during a tornado and lightningstorm to see the results. When can we expect to see them posted? Soon I hope, patience was never my best virtue.

Patience folks. Lots of stories to read and decisions to make.

I feel like Cartman in that episode where he is pacing in front of the store two weeks before the Wii comes out. "Come awn...come awn!!!"

That's it, I'm going to freeze myself now.

As a side note, perhaps judges could read the entries and make notes on them during the submission time. I know I read most of them already :-)

Just seems to be slow considering the last contest didnt get judged and only had two pages of poems posted. I know worldwatcher had problems, but someone could have stepped in for her .....

Just a consideration.

I've got the judges decisions. See if I can get them tabulated today. No promise but I will have them done before Sunday.

As Cartman would say, "Thsweeeet..."

I'd also like to thank all you guys for bringing this contest to us members. I'm sure the judging was a daunting task. But thanks again.

ok writers, were in the home stretch now...

Just a few more pushes...

Breath...

And I forgot to mention,

Thanks for all the work you guys do!

And thanks for all of the great stories by everyone.

It truly was a staggering competition this time.

The stories were a pleasure to read.

Can't wait for the next one,

Although I'd love to see an 'open' poetry one - you know, no mimium or maximum numbers of lines of rhyme schemes etc?

just a thought while we wait for the judging to be finalised.

Thank you all for an EXCELLENT competition. Almost 50 stories and by reading the judges remarks, WELL DONE. We can only have one winner though and the judges were unanimous on this one. Perfect scores across the board.

WINNER- The index to her Soul- Buck Division

2nd- Hell in Seventh Heaven- jackinthebox

3rd- a tie. The Lost Platoon- behindthescenes

And:

Commander in Chief- Essedarius

Honorable mention for:

True Story- neformore

The peoples choice award, most starred, goes to:

Planet xv253- antar

There were many submissions that were EXTREMELY close to those that won. I'm DAMN proud of our writers. Well done folks.

Congratulations to Buck Division.
And I think the judges are crazy! We're all winners in my book.
Just Kidding about the crazy. Ok what's next?
