Wow! See what happens when I go to bed early? I missed all this excitement last night.
Thank you judges and all of the writers. I read all of the submissions and they were all great. There's a lot of tough competition here and I'm enjoying the challenge. I'll work on my tense issues and run-ons as I know those are my weaknesses.
Thank you again to everyone who took their time to read and review all of the work. I know you have lives outside of this forum but you still went out of your way to support and encourage us all. I can only speak for myself, but I would suspect that I can honestly say, we all appreciate it.
Congratulations Dwellerofthedeep and Irishlad!!

I enjoyed this; might start doing them regularly as a mental exercise.
Congrats to the winners, well, to everyone really; I didn't think there was a bad read amongst them
One small point. Tad confused. Didn't Dwellerofthedeep win, what with getting a higher score and all?

I ran the numbers and I'm starting to be confused too. I'm fine with second place, so no problem. It's just the internet.

You know what, you're right.
Let's give Valeca a break, I'm sure this was eyestraining enough without the added pressure of math.
It should be:
In First Place: Dwellerofthedeep, score - 17.5
In Second Place: smilinghelps, score - 17.3
In Third Place: Irishlad, score - 16.6
I'm sure it was simple mathematical oopsie. First, Second. Doesn't make a difference to me either. I'm thrilled that I was acknowledged at all.

Ugh, that's twice I've done that. I knew I should have waited until today to post them, not do it directly after working with the nutty-folk all night. But I'd said I'd have them up yesterday, so I went ahead and did it after work anyway. Dumb move.
Sorry about that, folks. And special apologies to smilinghelps for taking the bump out of first place with grace, and to dwellerofthedeep for not posting him in the proper place to begin with.

Congratulations to Dwellerofthedeep and smilinghelps, very good work there, and in all the entries.
I've enjoyed reading through all of them. It's quite interesting to see how one subject can be approached from so many different angles.
Thanks to the judges for their kind contributions of toil and time, we are all in your debt.
Cheers

Congratulations to all of the winners! Very good writing.
Thanks judges for your time, efforts and comments. It must have been a tough job with all of the outstanding contributions.
Almost forgot, thanks valeca for coordinating and administering.

Yay! Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to all the judges and staff. Pretty darn fine writing from all competitors, if I may be permitted to say so.
Off to the Coffee Shop to suggest further prompts.  |

Also, good effort to everyone who wrote. There were some really good stories in there, looking back.
