This must be a lot of work counting all votes, last time I posted a short story unrelated to this contest, the whole first page was filled with CT2020 threads except two entries at the bottom left.

The last few contests I participated were by far not that big and I appreciate the work you gals and guys do to make this all possible, in times like this.

I will keep looking for the results.I am so glad I went with
this campfire theme instead of the other one.

a reply to: mamabeth

I repeat myself, but was so glad you picked that one
Have you seen the amount of participation?

a reply to: ThatDamnDuckAgain

There has been a lot of division between members over this
election year.I didn't want to contribute to it,that is why I
chose this topic. Campfire tales was not my first choice,it
was my second.

I understood the intention and I think many took the opportunity, too, seeing it as a welcome distraction. Well done

Thank you very much. I had great fun.
Probably a little too much.

Well just go ahead and bar it.
It would be nice to have normal contention in the World rather than extraordinary.
That would be cool.

a reply to: mamabeth

Me too.
It was great fun and I think writers love the 100 word format!!!

Congratulation to your win in tandem with Vroomfondel

Congratulations to dolluka and TerryMcGuire for achieving writer statuses

I am not sure if I read every thread, it's just so much, but there were some really good stories posted


Now the sad question, is there any news about the future of ATS? Will there be another contest before Christmas hits, possibly?

Haven't heard anything lately. Try here: www.abovetopsecret.com...
I haven't joined it so I don't know what's being said there. Maybe a secret agent can infiltrate and report back.

Another silver medal for the trophy case

Another good round of stories from everyone, nice work all.

Thank you for the votes!

Gratz to the winners are especially to the new writers. Well done.

Great stories in this contest and lots of entries. Keep it going...
