Thanks to the ever magnificent SB for the amusing and sizzling review. As always greatly appreciated.

You're very welcome Perpetual Man. Good luck with Sage.

Thanks for the mentions/shortlisting Cat's Cradle, Glen, telford, Talysia and springs, and thanks to Starbeast and Victoria for the reviews. And big ups to Hex for setting a very enjoyable challenge. Now to peruse and vote...

You're welcome Alchemist. I agree, Hex picked a great unexpected challenge.

Many Thanks for the review Starbeast and as a newbie, I am all the ideas and stories. I am having a hard time even making a short list.

You're welcome Sancho. I too had a tough time selecting "one" vote. Took me most of the day, but it was fun rereading the stories again.

Thanks Starbeast for the kind words! I'm being continually and pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone is around here.

You know what? I think I'm gonna set my stuff down and stay here for a time. Now, where are my fags?

Light up DG Jones. I'm vaping as I'm texting this right now. You're welcome for the review. I enjoy the great company here as well.

[Teresa Edgerton]

Thank you to Cat's Cradle, telford, springs, Hex, and Talysia for the mentions and short listings!

It's going to be hard to make up my own lists with so many excellent stories to choose from.

 

[Mr Orange]

Wow, so I logged on to find I was a finalist! Thanks a lot cats cradle

Then i kept reading to see I was one of glen's favourites, one of Telford's honourables, and on hex's shortlist! Many thanks to all of you.

And then, what do I see but a vote from none other than the beast of stars! Thanks a million starbeast. It means a lot especially as, if I'm being honest, I was channelling my inner starbeast when I added the sound effects to my story! Seems like it worked!

Now to find time to read and vote

Actually I wish I could vote for all of them-where's that genie's bottle?

Thanks for the mentions telford, alchemist and johnnyjet, and for the reviews Silverwolf and Starbeast.
