Wow first in the non-writer category. Thanks to everyone who starred and flagged my little story and assisting me in crushing my competitors that were clearly too intimidated to enter. Also a big thanks to the Admins, JohnnyAnonymous & DTOM, congratulations to the other winners and everybody who entered. Obviously I’d like to thank my parents and I do remember before I was conceived that I had deep desire to become a writer and I am overwhelmed with gratitude to have been selected to receive zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Much thanks to everyone who flagged and starred my story

Congrats to Myselfaswell, for first place in the non-writer catagory
and 727Sky, Terry McGuire, Zosimov, Johnny Anonymous, Xpert11 for winning 2nd and 3rd places (with a tie even!)

Before returning to ATS last year, I hadn't written anything in a long time, but these short story contest, and reading all the entries, really ignited the spark again.
So, also for that: thanks ATS and fellow writers

A Massive Congratulations to KindraLabelle2 and myselfaswell for winning their respective categories!!


I'm sorry I wasn't so interactive with commenting each story... just a bad month for me on the work and home fronts. However, I enjoyed immensely all the stories submitted and they all merited praising.

I look forward to the next contest and KindraLabelle2’s new theme.

Finally, thanks and appreciation to DontTreadOnMe and JohnnyAnonymous for organising the contest and the wonderful graphics associated with my theme.

Congratulations, especially the new writes!

And to all who participated (like me), to paraphrase Manowar, "May your 'pen' stay wet like a ...".

Er, better luck next time!

Just a short note to remind everyone that in less than a week... we'll be having a new 'themed' Contest.

Hope you'll all be able to participate and share your creativeness with us.


See you in a few days!
Johnny

Howdy folks.... Did this month like zip by or what?

Our next Contest is about to bloom into all it's glory and I can't wait to see how you take this next 'theme' and create some really good Short Stories.

See you within 30 some hours (or so)

Late congrats to the winners!

kindra I'm looking forward to your stories.

MSAW I had a good chuckle reading everyone congratulating themselves as well.
Finally that moniker could develop all its beauty.
