Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #5

[Ursa major]

Thanks for the shortlisting, Moonbat.

 

[Lilmizflashythang]

Thanks for the shortlisting Vertigo. I've gotten more on this challenge than I did the other one.

 

[chrispenycate]

I have finally managed to vote – Mouse, Hex and Vertigo (in order of posting).

I was also toying with alchemist, Glitch, Harebrain, Phyrebrat and Ursa (in alphabetical order). Not that there weren't lots of others that I would have liked to vote for…

 

[Hex]

Thank you very much, chris! Votey dance!

(and, as they round the corner, pigtails has taken the lead!)

 

[Glitch]

Still looking close with several days of voting remaining.

Thanks for the short lists Moonbat and chrispenycate

 

[Mouse]

Woo! Really? Me? Thanks, Chrispy!

 

[chrispenycate]

Looking at the poll (which I try not to do before voting, so not to be influenced) in order to fill out my charts, and prepare for the naming and shaming as the deadline approaches, I notice a number of those who did not submit have voted.

Which is nice.

I also notice – thank you Scott Forshaw and Anivid for voting for my somewhat underweight offering.

No one is immune from a slap

 

[Ursa major]

Thanks for the mention, Chris.

 

[Hex]

Thank you very much for the vote, Teresa.

There. Wasn't that calm? I didn't go whhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! at all. Well, not very much.

 

[HareBrain]

Three nines! We might need an emergency tie-break.

Hey, what’s happening? Two more short listings and another vote since I last checked in?

Thanks to Scott R. Forshaw and Vertigo for the short listing. And a special thanks to Teresa Edgerton for the vote.

Let’s see, that’s 7 short lists, 1 shorter list, and 2 votes. I’m feeling pretty good about now. Especially considering the high quality of the competition. Thanks again to all.

 

[Bowler1]

The lead is a three way split now - wow. Great, until HB beat me to the punch line.

 

[chrispenycate]

Ve do not need supplementary punsters. Nein, nein, nein!

 

[Vertigo]

Whee a third vote! I think that's the most I've had in a challenge. Thank you Chris!

 

[Warren_Paul]

Wow, such a tough fight, four potential winners. Unless one more vote comes in for one of the three top ones we might be in for a tie-breaker poll.

 

[Mouse]

Three potential winners, I don't think I've got any more votes coming. I couldn't take the tension!

I see somebody has snuck in and voted without me noticing though. Thank you, stevietee!

 

[crystal haven]

Thank you for the vote, Reiver.

 

[Perpetual Man]

With all kinds of crazy going on at the moment I have been doing my best to look in on things, but I've probably neglected thanking people for mentions and even the four votes I seem to have picked up - worse I've even forgotten who I have thanked and who I have not!

So many thanks to everyone who mentioned my little attempt, and thanks for the four votes Choccoweeble, Reiver, R J Dando and Talysia. They are the icing on the cake!

 

[Culhwch]

Many thanks for the vote, Teresa!

Hex and alc certainly closed the gap - and I expect this to be a two horse race very soon.
