New themes...
It's become quite clear that you are all very tempted to cast me your votes but the dreaded 'magic duck' theme I let slip one day is putting you all off.

Therefore I assure you that it'll never be mentioned again, instead I'll come up with something new and unrelated.




(Sorcerous geese maybe?)

Now, you see, I would be fine with "Duck of Dread and Other Nightmarish Game Animals" in the genre of Monty Python...

When I voted, I couldn't decide on a favourites list because there were so many excellent stories. However, discussion on voting and the challenges has spurred me, belatedly, to decide on a list:

Shortlist:
@Victoria Silverwolf - The Voice of Leviathan
@chrispenycate - Lifeboat
@Joshua Jones - Out of the frying pan...
@paranoid marvin - Ware the Kraken (a sea shanty)
@Clockworkbot - The Deep Plain
@Teresa Edgerton - Where Late the Mermaids Sang
@Parson - Sail the Sea of Stars
@The Judge - Her Body a Living Sacrifice.

Long List:
The rest...
