some really good ones that didn't get my vote, I think for the first time I really did feel that 3 votes wasn't enough. Well done to eveyone for some brilliant ideas and well presetned stories.

[hopewrites]

TEiN thank you for the vote
its fun reading through everyone's shortlists and comments on why they voted.

[Boneman]

Thanks Moonbat - to get a mention with those stories is high praise indeed!

[Talysia]

Wow - thanks for the honourable mentions, Boneman and Moonbat!

[Ökuþórr]

Huge thanks to TheEndIsNigh and Moonbat for your votes.

[springs]

Wow three hours of the road to Stranraer wiped away thanks so much Glen, Southorn Sword, and Quokka. I'm amazed

Will get to reading them all over the weekend, and I promise to vote by Sunday TE

[Starbeast]

Thank you Hopewrites for your vote.

I enjoyed reading just about every story, it took days to decide on three, but I cast my votes for........


Glen - The Graveyard

Southron Sword - A Soldiers Memory

Devil's Advocate - When Angels Deserve to Die

[alchemist]

A heap of thanks to Moonbat and hopewrites for the votes, and TEiN and Boneman for the mentions. I've got 2 of my 3 votes decided; just need to find the other.

[Highlander]

I must admit that I had hoped to get my first vote in the 300 challenge - and now I have two! Many thanks Chrispenycate and Boneman! Much appreciated!
Thanks too also to Moonbat for the hon mention.
I am having a short holiday break - back Sunday - and will read the stories then and vote. Wifi not wonderful here and am only using I-pod touch.

[TheDustyZebra]

Wow, look at that! Many thanks to Boneman, Karn, Glen, Mith and Quokka for the votes! Looks like it's quite the battle shaping up here. I can feel the nipping at my heels.

[springs]

Oh, so hard, but my shortlist goes
Abernovo; a new take on the Grimm tales, but keeping the dark sense.
Karn; the poetic first line and the evocative language worked.
Glen; really well written, pacy, I liked this a lot
Spurring Platty; enough said, ardent arachnophobe here, so it sticks in the mind
Paranoid Marvin; lovely clear voice building a real history
Quokka; imagery here sticks with me, very eerily beautiful
Alchemist; clever tale, very well told
Mith; the last paragraph carried me along

so, I'm voting for spurring platy, Mith and Quokka.

BTW looking at my votes, can I have a visa to Australia? somewhere without spiders if possible?

[Teresa Edgerton]

Thank you, Perp, Mouse, and chris for the votes, and Moonbat for the mention. (If I've missed out on anyone else I should be thanking, blame it on the antihistamines I'm taking.)

[TheDustyZebra]

Oh, Teresa, I can sympathize with that! I've had this blasted cold since last week, and it's only getting worse! I thought it had gone away, and now it's back in full force. I had to buy more Benadryl today. I'm not sure if it's safe to read the stories and make a list right now or not!
