SHORT STORY WRITERS CONTEST for March 2017 - [WINNERS LISTED]

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

OK, I've tallied up the scores and sent them off for verification!!!

Thank you Gordi!

I am amazed at the participation by the folks who chose to enter as well as the folks who read the entries and starred and flagged (apparently). Must have been some sort of illuminati/masonic spell cast upon this one
Perhaps his next chosen theme will garner as much attention as this one. No pressure there!

I don't want a participation trophy or pat on the back. I just want half a dozen people to tell me I lost. I don't compete to come in 6th.

I hate to be that guy but you came in 6th and you didn't win.

Good try though

Not cool man, not cool.

I'm pretty sure I was left in the dust this time.

Oh well. At least some people read and apparently enjoyed my story!

It was a great contest with tons of great writing and an honor and joy to participate.

I was just about to moan thst the results weren't up yet!

Congrats to the new writers and next comp's theme picker!

some great reads this time all the way through.

Congrats everyone! All the stories were very creative. Gave me a totally new outlook on beyond death..Loved reading them. Some first time writers, some long time writers, and even a one time writer turned Mod...was nice to read through them all and really neat to see all the ideas and to have soooo many stories to read.

Well done everyone!

Thanks,
