Discussion- August 100 Word Anonymous Challenge

[Ihe]

Congrats and long live the Watts clan!

 

[TitaniumTi]

Congratulations Ashleyne! A gem of a story. I loved the incorporation of state of the art technology in fantasy.

 

[mosaix]

I would like to throw my name in to volunteer to run next month's challenge, if the group will have me.

I second this! Go for it, Ratsy.

 

[farntfar]

I second this! Go for it, Ratsy.

I think, to be more accurate, Mosaix, the phrase you're looking for is "I fifth this"
or "Amongst the many votes for ratsy are such diverse elements as Cat's Cradle,D G Jones, Farntfar, Ashleyne, Mosaix and. ...."

 

[Droflet]

Me too. Good on ya, Ratsy.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Congratulations Ashleyne- a great story. Congrats to Cascade for running a successful challenge under difficult circumstances and yey to Ratsy running the next one!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Congrats again, to Ashleyne! And best of luck to our ratsy, as (I am guessing) the next host of the challenge. I will forward you Ursa's primer on poll creation, in case you've never made one ratsy; they're really not hard at all, when Ursa is your mentor.

I think several folks have hinted as to their ownership of various stories, and as I may be unavailable to comment on the site for a little while, I just wanted to mention that I am responsible for Fudge?. And I want to thank Ensign Shah--and her daughter!--for the vote the story received! I am very proud to receive the official approval of the person who must surely have been the youngest member of our voting community. CC

I also showed them to my daughter. The problem was I've written other tales of Frank for her before so she was a touch biased.

 

[ratsy]

Cool. Im happy to run the September one. Thanks for the message CC! I'll be sure to lean on the previous challenge runners of I am stuck on anything.

And I have a prize to giveaway to the winner. Ill only do that if everyone thinks its okay though. I don't want to ruin the concept of the challenge.

 

[Vaz]

I would also like to give Ratsy the nod for running next months challenge . Go for it!

Well, I recall Cascade promised a personally-drawn potato to the winner of the guessing game, and nobody raged about that ruining anything. And golly, a whole potato too! If that does't ruin the concept of the challenge, nothing can, so don't worry.

 

[farntfar]

Well just as long as we don't start looking for sponsors and become the Spud-U-Like challenge or Alcopops Anonymous or something.

We only had a few guesses. I think it was an error to ask people to guess in the poll thread as people go there vote and don't necessarily scroll down, seeing guesses in the comments thread probably serves to promote guesses.
Having said that our most successful voters were CC and DG Jones with three each. They will each get a picture of a potato (a small potato) rather than half a potato picture each.

Our least successful was Luiglin who by my count got none correct.

Chrispenycate was the most guessed (three).

The most incorrectly attributed was Monster Girls, which three guessers assigned to Ashleyne

 

[Vaz]

Now that the Cat is firmly out of the bag. A massive thank you to DG Jones & WillWallace for the votes and thanks to Farntfar for the mention. Also thanks for everyone who gave me a vote in the tiebreaker. I was humbled and surprised to make it that far as I felt my entry Tooth Or Dare wasn't up to scratch but I'm happy that a few of you enjoyed it and found it worthy. Ashleyne Massive Congrats on the win Roll on September!!

Well @Ashleyne. B. Watts, I think I know who the real winners are this month. CC, the Tesco Value lager's on me!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Just a note to say that it is a great honor to have my entry attributed to Ashleyne.

 

[Ashleyne]

Thanks again for the congratulations, everyone.

Well @Ashleyne. B. Watts, I think I know who the real winners are this month. CC, the Tesco Value lager's on me!

Yup, right you are. Who'd've guessed it

Just a note to say that it is a great honor to have my entry attributed to Ashleyne.

Wow, Victoria. I'm truly honoured by your honour.

Cascade, a ginormous thanks to you for being a tremendous moderator for what must've been a tricky competition to moderate

 

[ratsy]

Johnnyjet guess me correct! Way to go!

Thanks for the couple votes too. It was nice to be in a seven person tie-breaker.

 

[Luiglin]

Our least successful was Luiglin who by my count got none correct.

Woo hoo... my 100% record remains

 

[Droflet]

Okay, now that we're all out of the closet. Thanks to Cascade and Vas for the first votes and whoever voted for me in the tiebreaker. Thanks to DG, Farntfar (Every time, I have to be so careful typing your name ) and J Jet for the mentions. Looking forward to what Ash comes up with for next month. Well done to everyone.
