My vote goes to "The Baker."

 

[Danny McG]

I've voted for the verse one, "The Quasar", mainly because it included such words as ylem and lepton.

 

[johnnyjet]

My vote, after going back and forth between my three favorites, went to "Your Move"

 

[DragonAether]

My vote goes to "The Quasar" I loved it.

Oh, and I voted for 'If she really is… - with the anonymous challenge, there are really not enough of us to generate a short list.

 

[farntfar]

3 correct, Chris.

 

[Danny McG]

I dunno how you all can do it!

Matching a list of people with stories is just so far outside the parameters of my mind that it seems alien.

I've had a guess at one or maybe two stories in previous challenges and it swamps me

Unless they always have the same spelling mistake etc in each tale then how can guessers score like five correct?
Awesome (witch! Burn 'em!)

 

[DragonAether]

I won't do any guess on any one, probably I would get everyone wrong.
Except for mine

Craft of the Medusa : dragonaether

 

[farntfar]

Well DragonAether. I said I wasn't going to tell you if you were right or wrong if you only made one guess, but I've changed my mind, as this seems to be a special case.
DragonAether. You were right or wrong!

There. Glad to get that off my chest.

The voting is quite close at the moment with several stories capable of gaining the lead with only 1 or 2 more votes.
Vast numbers of you haven't voted yet, and with the poll dueto close in about 12 hours, you'd be advised to get a move on.
You won't regret spending a little time to read these stories and then choosing your favourite.

 

[farntfar]

Well the poll is closed.

This month's winner is The Quasar by Victoria Silverwolf.

Congratulations Victoria on a brilliant poem.

 

[DragonAether]

Congrats Victoria!!
