    Sorry to hear you are a bit under the weather. If I can help to limit your effort by directing you to the best story, let me know.

    The other ones are probably not worth the attention.*

    *which is a total lie, but I don't want you getting too excited during your recovery.

    A big well done to all of our excellent writers. Kudos in particular to Essmir with his graphic novel.

    It says something about the level of talent on L-O that each story comp has been won by a first time entrant that we have had three comps, three winners and the votes are so evenly spread.

    Congratulations @Tlac'Natai the Observer. Looking forward to reading more about Poneextlan and the cuddly critters who inhabit the surrounding desert.

    And for the last time, you are doing it wrong.
