Well done everybody and congratulations to the winners.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my story - your comments and stories were very much appreciated.

Thanks again Masqua for organising this - I'll look out for the next contest.

Firstly, congratulations to the winners, I've really enjoyed the stories I've read so far, some of my favorites didn't make the cut though unfortunately...

Although I had fun contributing & loved getting feedback on stuff I'd written I'm beginning to feel a competition that relies on the 'popular/majority' vote is not for me. See I don't listen to commercial radio except specialty show's like 'the hip hop hr' etc, I listen to internet radio stations usually only with another 300 people or so tuned in & I know that while there are less listening to what I am then there are people listening to gaga, as a musician I know what good music is...and it isn't gaga. I've felt similarly the front page & top threads parts of this site before and am beginning to see how it can relate to these competitions too... I know that point of view will taste unsavory to many of you but it's my truth not yours.

Peace & thanks for putting on this competition, I enjoyed writing for it..

I say all that contributed are winners. I enjoyed reading the various stories, but the stars and flags have been counted, so thank you to all for your stories.

Kudos to the winners!

Everyone did a great job writing. It was good to see so many entries. Special thanks to masqua for hosting the contest theme......

Next one in a few days? Can't wait.
