Doesn't look like you have, Droflet.

 

[Droflet]

Thanks, big M.

 

[Wruter]

Sorry I missed your question earlier @Droflet , those pesky time zones again.

Looks like everyone who entered has now voted except @reiver33 who seems to be having a crisis of confidence.

 

[Wruter]

The poll is now closed and the runaway winner is A Text Message From The Future.

Revealing the authors and their stories in order of appearance:

My Fairy Carers - Ashleyne B. Watts
Dead or Alive - Cathbad
New Skin For Old - reiver33
Trust Me, I'm a Doctor - Vaz
Birthday - Victoria Silverwolf
The Thief of Time - Shyrka
Childhood - Droflet
Stranded - StilLearning
The Siren Call of Time - hopewrites
Tea - Cory Swanson
New World Order - Coast
Nation of Youth - johnnyjet
Duty - ratsy
The Fantastic Four: The Child of Doom - Starbeast
A Text Message From The Future - mosaix
It Was a Long Way - Wruter

The red herring was Cat's Cradle.

Which means our winner is none other than mosaix who was also the winner of this month's 75 word challenge. So congratulations and well done once again to mosaix!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Congratulations on a stunning victory!

 

[Cathbad]

@mosaix !
​

 

[Vaz]

Well done Mosaix!!

 

[Shyrka]

A run away victory. Emphatic! Seems I just managed to find the time to vote before the poll closed - whilst I liked Mosaix's entry, Ashleyne's charmingly-sad My Fairy Carers pipped it for me.

 

[ratsy]

Well done @mosaix now if you wouldn't mind someone else winning something...sometime

 

[Droflet]

Now, Mosiax, you're just getting started. All you have to do is win the 300 word challenge and you've got the legendary trifector. Congrats.

 

[mosaix]

Thanks, everyone.

No 100 in July because there's a 300, so I've got plenty of time to think up a genre / theme for August - when we'll need a hosting volunteer.

Thanks again to Wruter for running this in June.

 

[Droflet]

Yeah, give a big hand for Wruter. Great job.

 

[Coast]

Thanks Wruter and Victoria!

And Well Done Mosaix!!

I also need to thank Cathbad and StilLearning for votes, and Cory, mosaix and Vaz for liking my story enough to mention. It means a heap, so thanks again.

 

[hopewrites]

If my August wasn't going to be so busy I'd volunteer. You can put me down for September though

 

[Starbeast]

Congratulations Mosaix​

My Favorites:

The Fantastic Four: The Child of Doom

Thank you for the Listing Cathbad. You knew it was me. Heh heh.

So many good stories! Well done, all! And wonderful hosting, Wruter.

And my one guess will be that Starbeast wrote the glorious The Fantastic Four: The Child of Doom.

ps - wonderful reviews too, Victoria and Wruter!

Thank you for the compliment Cat's. You knew it was me.

Nice stories, everyone.

Vote Winner

The Fantastic Four: Child of Doom

Thank you VAZ for the vote. You made my day shine bright.

My guesses:

The Fantastic Four: The Child of Doom - Starbeast

Great guess Johnnyjet. I'm sure you could tell it was me.

@Starbeast - I'm glad you asked, O Great One! I'll close the poll and announce the winner on Sunday, so we only have a couple of days to go.

Unfortunately, I thought the voting ended on the 15th. Plus I had to work long hours around the American holiday on July 4th (I was thoroughly zombified). For me, everyone is a winner in my book.

I seem to have failed to produce anything this time, with absolutely no excuse - I started four or five, but seem to have forgotten what youth tastes like. Still, I read and reread the submissions, and will vote, and here's the basis to my chart for attempting to guess who might have written what (as if I ever got any worked out)…

Perhaps you can join the pool party next time Chrispenycate. I had a feeling you knew I wrote the Fantastic Four story.

Right, I've applied Confucius' Clues, and spent much more time than I should have on this, but my guesses are...

The Fantastic Four : Child of Doom : Starbeast.

Firstly, nice to meet you, Coast. And second, I suppose I was an easy pick, because others who know how I write, can recognize my style. Nice of you to join us, and have fun on the SFFC.



I'd also like to thank DROFLET and WRUTER for voting for me too. You both throttled me into happiness.

@Wruter You did a Fantastic job hosting the 100. Plus I really enjoyed your words of Enlightenment. Stay awesome bro.

@Victoria Silverwolf You were wonderful as always with your shining reviews. Keep em' flying.



As for my comic book tale, I watched a 1966 Fantastic Four cartoon marathon a while back, and, well, Marvel inspired me. Heh heh

 

[Wruter]

When I grow up I want to be like Starbeast.
