Contests
Posted by jrrl on February 6, 2013.
St. Valentine’s Short Short Competition – Winner!
Well, at long last we have a winner.
Thirteen of the authors cast votes. All were invited to, both on the site and by email, but only thirteen did. Voters were asked to pick their first, second, and third choices. These I then scored as 5 points, 3 points, and 2 points. These numbers were chosen so that two choices on a lower level would outweigh one choice on a higher level. The thought was to allow stories that lots of people liked, but didn’t place first, to still have the chance to rise to the top.
Given these criteria, “Nuts and Bolts” by GoldfishGal is the winner with 23 points.
Congratulations, GoldfishGal! I’ll give your contact information to the folks at Corset-Story and they should be in touch with you shortly.
Because people enjoy these sorts of things, the runners up were:
- “The Thrush” by S. W. Windsor (12 points)
- “Submerged” by Empress Annde (11 points)
- “A Good Doctor is Made” by Gregory Johansson (11 points)
- “No sir, there haven’t been any calls…” by Margaret Mae
(10 points)
I would like to offer a sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated. I am still planning to put these stories together into a free ebook, so any authors with edits, get them to me. Also, if you’d prefer a different title or byline, let me know.
Again, thank you to everyone involved and sorry for the chaos throughout. I’ll do better next time.
It was lots of fun to particpate, thanks for hosting!
Big congratulations to GoldfishGal!
Congrats! I loved your story!
Congrats, Goldfish Gal!
Congratulations, Goldfish Gal, well earned!
And thanks for running the comp. I look forward to the next.
*runs away to write edits*
Holy cow.
Thank you, everyone!
And thanks for writing such wonderful stories that were so fun to read!
Congratulations, GoldfishGal!
Though I didn’t get the chance to vote because of stuff going on this week, yours was one of the ones I liked, so I’m glad it won.
Congratulations GoldFishGal! I would have voted, but alas I was without internet until now!
Ugh, I forget to check my e-mail for six days and I totally miss this. Well, it was an honorable ending and congrats to GoldfishGal!
The only edits to my story would be to re-instert the italics that were in my original comment. Also I’d like to title it “Amoris Potestate” and have it attributed to Lady JADE Summers. Not Jane.
As far as the final edits for my story – what address should I send the word file to?
Mostly I just want to add back in the original italics/formatting.
jrrl at the obvious domain works well. Also, please include copyright information. Thanks!
