Thanks for the longlisting and the terrific comment, Storyteller.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Wow, thank you for the vote, Cascade.

And thank you for the mention, Storyteller.

 

[LittleStar]

A lot of good stories, it's tough to find just three to vote for but I've settled on the following:-

Victoria Silverwolf - Ascension
Juliana - The Blessing Bough
The Judge - Pillar of the Community

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Tough one. Every story could win!

My shortlist

Kerry, Willwallace, Juliana, JLBorstlap, luighlin, karn, johnnyjet, phyrebrat, TDZ, Rafellin.

My votes went to Willwallace, johnnyjet and Rafellin. If there'd been a 4th it'd have been Juliana!

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Thanks for the mention Springs x

 

[Perpetual Man]

A massive thank you to The Storyteller, not only for the vote but for the very kind words too! A good start to a Sunday morning!

 

[Juliana]

A big thanks to LittleStar for the vote, and to Springs for the 4th place.

 

[Rafellin]

Thank you springs for my vote and The Storyteller for an honourable mention! Unheard-of events for my scribblings this early in a challenge.

Interesting to see the common themes running through the stories, especially as I fell into one of them. Societal memes and legendry strike again.

So, without further ado, the three authors who crafted tales that demanded my vote:

Cat's Cradle
Juliana
Cascade

 

[Anne Martin]

Thanks for the shortlisting holland, and the long listing storyteller. There were many excellent stories this time, especially those by Juliana, Cascade, JT Borstlap, and Sancho, but my votes went to:

willwallace
Mr Orange
The Judge

 

[Juliana]

A big thank you to Rafellin for the vote, and to Anne Martin for the mention.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

My votes went to Moonbat, CC and Rafellin of which Moonbat's was my favourite.

Long list and shortlist:

Springs, Juliana, Cascade, Karn, Sancho, Glen, Remedy, Storyteller, TJ and Mosaix.

It took real effort to reduce that even to the ones mentioned because all the entries were so good.

 

[willwallace]

Terrific entries, as usual. Pretty much everyone could make my long list, but in the interest of brevity-

Kerrybuchanan, Fartnfar, reiver33, Karn M., Phyrebrat, Justius, Rafellin, mosaix

An almost as long shortlist-

Cat's Cradle, Springs , Littlestar , Moonbat , Culhwch

And finally, my votes went to Victoria Silverwolf, Juliana, and Perpetual man.

Thanks to Anne Martin, springs, and Holland for the votes.

 

[farntfar]

[Rafellin]

Whoa! Thank you kerrybuchanan for voting and giving me a new PB in the challenges, and to willwallace for the honourable mention.

 

[Juliana]

My votes went to: The Dusty Zebra, The Judge and Culhwch.

Thank you very much Willwallace for the vote, and Kerry for the shortlisting.
