Discussion Thread -- 300 Word Challenge #13

[The Judge]

Rushing in very quickly to say thank you for the votes and mentions -- sorry no time to single you all out, but every one was very greatly appreciated.

My votes went to DEO, The Storyteller and TDZ.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Thanks, TJ! I don't think it'll keep me out of the pink taffeta, but it's much appreciated, nonetheless.

And I think I missed Remedy along the way, so thanks, Remedy!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Thanks for the shortlist, HB.

Wishing for a time-machine here...

 

[martin321]

Hmm. My spreadsheet says that:- J.Hollick, jastius, JoanDrake, The Judge, The Spurring Platty, TitaniumTi and Ursa major haven't yet voted, having submitted, while:- crystal haven, farntfar, Glen, HairBrain, Hex, martin321, stormcrow and telford all voted without having submitted. (Bug higs).
Last day. Oh, I agree choosing was not what I'd call easy…

I did actually submit something.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Thank you mosaix and the judge for the votes.

 

[chrispenycate]

I did actually submit something.

You did indeed. And I shortlisted it, I think. Sorry, I clean up the chart after the final vote; I really shouldn't do the lists before.

 

[Phyrebrat]

Thanks for the appealing listing Harebrain. I'm that little bit closer to winning! Watch out

Good going Springs. Another great challenge.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Whoooo! Balls up yellow bridesmaid dress and chucks it to the side. (Then picks it up and stows it away. Always handy. )

Thank you everyone, lots and lots. It's especially amazing given the quality of all the stories. And commiserations to TDZ - between us we have shares in the darn taffeta.

And thanks, Ursa, for the honourable mention.
