[spawning of Bob]

I'm pretty sure Scolonex doesn't vote, so....

How are you going today, Pendrake, old buddy old pal?

Need help with that vote?

 

[pendrake]

Gonna start reading today.

Woke up twitching and shivering yesterday...temp was up past 101°F.

Just lying around recuperating today. Good chance to read.

 

[spawning of Bob]

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.

 

[pendrake]

I got my votes in. Fever beaten back. Living on meds.

 

[spawning of Bob]

Fail.

 

[pendrake]

Fail.

...and here I was getting used to that stunningly handsome feathery avatar you've been sporting.

 

[Scalenex]

Most people who want to read and vote probably have. If you guys haven't done it you have about eight hours.

Good work everyone. All eight pieces were excellent.

Also pleased we had so many first-time entrants. Hope to see more work from everyone here in the future.

The next contest will be start in October, but you don't have to wait for short story contests to write.

 

[spawning of Bob]

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.

 

[Slanputin]

Yes, well done Tlac
I managed to correctly guess who wrote some of the entrys (I've read too much of your witterings Bob), but I couldn't place most of them!

 

[spawning of Bob]

I didn't even bother trying to guess this time.

 

[Tlac'Natai the Observer]

Thanks for the votes everyone! I feel so validated now, especially since every other entry was so much fun to read.

I look forward to sharing the rest of my desert themed story with the L-O community, y'all keep me going =D Currently editing my first full length short story

 

[bora-boka424]

Well done Tlac on a great story to win and all the other fantastic entries, will definatley continue to enter this.

 

[Oldblood Itzahuan]

This was definitely fun, and it has been a blast to participate with everybody. Congrats to Tlac and everybody who wrote! I look forwards to the next contest!
