The story themes are open-ended and very self-interpretive, so it might be somewhat easy to repurpose a good story ;o)

Good luck with your future endeavors!

Thank you!

writer What's your slant on this member?

I in the language of cats; "Has idea" ...If one were to click on 'writer' on the persons left posting anywhere in ATS they have posted it would lead to the story posting they wrote that won them that status.

sry if that breaks ATS but it won't break the internet

Also looking forward to the next competitions 'theme'

Time is running out to read and vote!!!!

I've very much enjoyed this competition; I've read and re-read most of the stories and I think we have some very amazing minds at work here. I wonder sometimes if our collective works might have a market out it the real world. Well, no matter. The real coin of the realm here is pure enjoyment, and that we spend freely. ;o)

Thanks for your time and efforts, everyone. (hosts included)

good stuff.

good luck.

good night.

***APPLAUSE***

CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS! Please Accept This Virtual Coin.

Congrats to the winners!

Great entries - lets keep this trend going!

Yay! I'm a writer 🙂

I don't have a clue what's going on as this was the first time I ever posted a story. Don't Tread On Me said "Congrats to the two new writers!" But didn't say who they were. How are we supposed to be able to congratulate them if we don't know who they are?

This is all very confusing.
