I'm actually second!

Not anymore, you'e not

A six-way tie? We'll be here all year with tiebreakers.

 

[Mouse]

I know. Shouldn't let Karn vote, see. Happy being second with Perp though.

edit: Oh no! Thank you, sneaky voter!

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

I voted the way I did, Mouse, because they were the stories that reached me best. I figured I would vote for Kylara at least, hehe.

Just a joke, dude. I quite liked being second all on my onesies!

Yep. I enjoyed it pretty well, Perp.

This time I did things differently.

Since I've been short on logging in time I copy/pasted the entries into my laptop, but without the authors' names, reducing any possible bias. It didn't make it any easier, and, once I'd produced my short(ish) list {which was Abernovo, Breve, Culhwch, Grinnel, Hex, Perpetual Man, Phyrebrat, ratsy, stormcrow and The Spurring Platty, by the way} I had to go back and attach names to them all.

Leaving some very good tales unrewarded.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Okay, not sure what has happened here, but over the course of the day I've had a few stealth votes, and without going back through the thread I can't see who I've thanked or not.

So thank you to everyone who has voted for me it is greatly appreciated, and a very pleasant surprise.

 

[Abernovo]

Thanks for the listing, Chrispy.

 

[stormcrow]

chrispenycate - Thank You for the 'listing! Much appreciated.
