Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE May 2013

[Ursa major]

The Poll is now closed.

And here is the (almost inevitable) tiebreaker poll:

MAY 2013 TIEBREAKER POLL
​

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Well done DEO and TJ. I went for our resident Overlord as it was just outside my shortlist. Ty to SB, Parson, Crystal, Brev and Jimness for the mentions.

 

[Boneman]

My original vote went to DEO, so it went there again, but TJ's entry had been very close, so it was a hard decision. Well done both of you!

 

[The Judge]

*hits head against the wall and goes and drags out the wretched bridesmaid's dress. Again.*

 

[Boneman]

There'a a long way to go to the Altar!!

 

[David Evil Overlord]

If it's any consolation, Your Honour, this is the closest I've ever come to winning one of these things...

 

[HareBrain]

Congrats to DEO and the Judge. TJ's was on my shortlist, so that's an easy decision. And surely pink satin two months in a row would be too cruel a fate? (Still, it's always nice to get good use out of such an expensive garment.)

 

[Bowler1]

*hits head against the wall and goes and drags out the wretched bridesmaid's dress. Again.*

I did think just that after I've voted - at least the dress gets plenty of wear!

Good luck to DOE as well, just hang in there a little longer.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Congratulations to both our excellent finalists

Both superb entries, but TJ was on my shortlist so the vote went that way.

Quick thanks to BigJ for the stealth vote

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Holy monkey underpants, Batman!

Starts heavy breathing into paper bag...

 

[Luiglin]

Tie breaker vote goes to The Judge.

Thanks for the mentions and comments Starbeast, Parson, Perpetual Man, Mary Faerie, Moonbat, Glen, chrispenycate, The Judge and AJB.

 

[Ursa major]

TJ was one of my runners up, so she won my tie-breaker vote.

 

[Lenny]

Congrats to both DEO and TJ for making it this far! DEO was on my original shortlist, and that's where my tiebreaker vote goes.

Thanks to TDZ and Brev for the mentions and comments yesterday, and many thanks to AMB for the vote!

 

[Phyrebrat]

I forgot my manners and didn’t say thank you to Victoria, Perp and Starbeast for their lovely reviews (I’m not as sharp as I used to be…. The wheel’s spinning but the hamster’s dead). So thanks, guys. I really appreciate it.

Many thanks also to Boneman, TDZ, Jimness, Starbeast and Dream Walker for the mentions.

My tiebreaker vote goes to TJ who was on my shortlist. Congratulations to both, and may the best maid/lord win.

[ratsy]

Well done both of you. My vote went to TJ.

 

[johnnyjet]

Congratulations to both DEO and TJ. Uh-Oh, my vote just made it a tie again.

Also, a special thank you for the short listings by Starbeast, TacticalLoco, Lenny & The Dusty Zebra.

 

[stormcrow]

Well done DEO & The Judge - another tie-beak!

Seems to be a much tighter distribution of votes cast this month than usual... ...but I may well be wrong!

(I wonder: can chrispenycate gave us some stats on that?)

My vote goes to David, as was my vote-winner the first time!

 

[mosaix]

Congrats DEO and TJ.

Thanks for the shortlists / mentions and lots of thanks to UM for the most unexpected vote.

 

[Boneman]

This is gonna sound kinda silly, but I'm glad I'm not TJ or DEO right now - it's so close, I don't think I could stand it!! On reflection, I wish I was one of the tie-break finalists, but I'd go away and hide until someone else told me the result...

 

[Parson]

Congrats DEO and TJ

(Gets out toy Dr. kit. Goes to examine Her Honor's forehead. Seems to be considerable bruising there, it's turning a nice shade of pink. It is apparently trying to match the satin bridesmaid dress that is about to sent to the cleaners. No wear once and forget it for the Judge.)


I voted for the Judge. This was easy I voted for her the first time around.

(Sadly, the vote is now 16-16. Goes to find a pillow to place on her Honor's desk and wall.)
