This will take some time to read all the entries. I tried and by the time I got through the first 3 my computer screen went black. 😳

Here are my top three:

First: #1 -- Tick

Second: #6 -- The Crawling Spring of Times

Third: #7 -- The Tailor's Daughter

And there really wasn't a whole lot to separate the remaining nine entries from the three I chose. Kudos to all of you.

Hi readers

First of all thank you to all this years entrants, this thread will show the amount of talent we have this year 🙂

Please take a look through the entries and i would like everyone to pick their favourite three. If you wrote an entry you can't vote for your own entry. Please post your votes in this thread and the deadline for votes ...[text shortened]... u need to keep anonymous (i.e. dont say which entry is yours)

Happy reading

Silverstriker
Just one man's opinion, but I considered four things: 1) Is it inspired? 2) Does it reflect the artistic integrity of holding itself together? 3) Is it entertaining? 4) Is it respectful of the English Language. No particular weighting, only a sense that I've just experienced something unforgettable and would like to read more by (or have a few cold ones with) its author:

#12 (Whether a real or imagined place, I too would like to return to play at Margate).

#7 (Story within a story of love and loss... my how the ache and ark of it resonated).

#10 (No plot, nameless characters but such a vivid snapshot of a memorable day.)


Thanks to those who encouraged me to participate and to you, Striker, for an enjoyable, well managed competition.

I'm sure the Mods could find out who has been thumbing down, and up, the odd entries. It would be courageous, and courteous also, for them to identify and make known this grumpy, cursed idiot.

Any comments from any Mods available about this?

Let the cruel participater be known amongst us, the Judas? What say ye 'Mods'?

-m.

It's an annual event..... why let a 'one' spoil it for many. We'd like to know who the idiot was. If you want to know the idiot - thumbs up this post!...if you don't, down it with a thumb.
