[MrBF1V3]

In case you are unaware, this time we've (I've) done the flash fiction contest a little different. The topic is "vs." and those who entered were invited to "enter as often as you like". Some took advantage of this.

Instead of voting for individual stories this time we will be voting for the collected works; by author. This may give those who wrote more an advantage, but I still say one good story will trump several mediocre ones.

Though, I didn't find much in the way of mediocre in this contest. I know there is a lot of material here, but it's well worth it.

Please vote, if you are inclined to comment on any or all of the stories feel free to do so. Meaningful feedback is in high demand.

Good lord, there's a lot of reading....

There's two more stories in the series I was working on, but I didn't get to finish them. I may post them anyway for posterity's sake if I get a chance to finish them.

I may not be able to find time to deliver a full set of comments. Maybe I'll find time for some general impressions, though.

Oy vey!

Hey what happened to Learco? All his posts as missing from the board, and none of his story links work....

[MrBF1V3]

Hey what happened to Learco? All his posts as missing from the board, and none of his story links work....

... and his story no longer is in the community area. I know I read his story. I know he posted at least once. This is a definite WTH?


Also I found a misguiding link. I thought I double checked ...

Sweet MOTHER! :eek: I've never seen so many stories in a Contest! Wow, I am blown away...I hope I have enough time to read each one and choose my favorite! -crosses fingers-

[Black.Rose.Sin]

Oh, no! I made a mistake in my entry! I'm a FAILURE! :( -begins to cry in the corner-

I can't believe I didn't notice that...it is so painfully obvious! It contradicts with the sentences around it!

I hope no one really bashes me for it...:(
