   My vote is going to have to be for #2 “The Genuine Article”, although I’ll admit it’s a tough decision.

   #1 – “There she stood…” by Brittany (because it’s short, sweet, and has robot love).

   #2 – “Captain Catherine Wakefield…” by Cassidy Q (because it has pirate love).

   #3 – “Not another one…” by Sharyu (because any story with a warship called ‘The Kraken’ in it automatically climbs a few notches in my estimation).

    I have to smile when I see contests where the competitors are allowed to vote, a rather naive decision as we are all aware of human frailties. I never enter contests like these, I never enter contests where a fee is involved. I prefer to enter writing competitions where the prize is being published in a magazine together with three copies of said magazine and I mean a paper not electric. So, when is the next competition?
