wow, jason. i'm so glad it's you and not me. this is going to be tough. nobody's fooling around.
the quality here is amazing.
I think you might get a nice, big selection of stories this time around. I don't envy your position!
Hey! How come we only get to send in one story??? Are you low on coffee?
Thanks for the contest!
Oh, boy! Lots of good stuff to read! HOOYAH!
Great contest....love reading these!
I have two favorites already.
This is going to be tough, Jason. A bunch of good stories here!
Tony, I'll be sure to check out your site.
Anne, you ain't kidding! I'm trying to keep up with scoring.
Emeraldcite, I love seeing where each writer's mind flies off to.
For the Trees, I'm just trying to keep the playing field even. ;)
Tanya, you can say that again! Great writing is going on here.
Robin, thanks! It's a treat to see the range.
Bernita, I wonder if I should have a reader's choice winner too....
Emeraldcite, I really appreciate the effort being made.
I wanted to thank you for the simple kindness of your comment at the lounge. That so many of you were touched by Jenn is beautiful and a testament to what a wonderful person she was. I owe her everything. All the stuff at the lounge is because of Jenn. She wouldn't let me forget Drinkwater and Fivelegs. She wouldn't let me be lazy about my writing. Now I'm rambling. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Another great contest, Jason! Wow, what a tough competition! =D
A reader's choice pick would be great, too! It would be very interesting to see what everyone else thought was the best of the best here.
I've just read Stories 1 through 29. I'm amazed. The quality sings.
MY entry sucks. If I wasn't such a coward I'd tell Dr. Evans to pull it. I didn't even get the theme right.
Think I'll go off to the backyard and eat worms.
Wow Jason I am enjoying reading everyones entries. Good luck to ya my friend cause they are all great!!
Looks like this contest has turned into a rousing success. Congrats, Jason!
ianbradley, the news of Jenn hit me hard. She was part of a story I always admired and respected (Oldben, Mysfit, keeping in touch via the blog, etc.) I can't believe that circle has suffered this loss.
Kelly, they sure don't make it easy for me!
Jim, I've decided to do a reader's choice. I'll announce the voting rules tomorrow.
For the Trees, I hope you're not referring to Entry #11. I enjoyed that one very much!
Beady, thanks! These wonderful folks really stepped up to the challenge.
Tanya, yes! It's very exciting!
That goodness your rules for reader's choice leaves me out.
I wouldn't know what to do.
Began listing my favourites, but after the number topped a dozen and was still climbing I quit.
Don't envy you your job, Jason, trying to decide among such talent.
Such excellent writing!
