It may not be appropriate for here, which is fine, but I thought I'd throw it out there.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if you'd do a follow-up post (maybe Tuesday or Wednesday) for discussion? As I read through the entries, I found myself asking a lot of questions about flash fiction, technique, etc. Would here be an okay place to throw them around?<BR/><BR/>I can certainly do it on my site, but - well, sort of like a party - we're all here, anyway, and there's beer, so why not? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-60258383345641197872008-07-18T00:17:00.000-04:002008-07-18T00:17:00.000-04:00Sheri, you're very welcome. :)Scott, great work! ...Sheri, you're very welcome. :)<BR/><BR/>Scott, great work!

Don't worry. ;)<BR/><BR/>Sameera, that's what I like to hear!<BR/><BR/>EOH, I hope everything's alright. As for the Readers' Choice voting, I hate to do this to you, man, but I can only accept votes from entrants. I decided long ago that doing it that way was the only way to maintain any order and control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-52427338629508241792008-07-18T00:05:00.000-04:002008-07-18T00:05:00.000-04:00Hello.
