55-word story, Winners announced!

[Yeppoh]

Yay! I got 4 votes! Also thank you WHAM for yours, and of course the other 3!

Congratulations for the finalists!

[WHAM]

Hey, that's my schtick!

*Slooowly moves monocle over right eye*

We now complete each other, Baron-Sensei.

Oh, and before I forget: Congratulations everyone for making such awesome short stories! And you, Andail, for running this comp! I hereby move that this become a monthly thing (at least) and that it be christened "the irregular writing competition with ever-changing rule-set" or IWCWECRS for short!

[Adeel]

Thank you for voting for my entry, guys. Story #13 was mine. I'm glad that I got 3 votes.

Also, great entries everyone!

[frenzykitty]

Thanks everybody This really means a lot to me!

And WHAM, it's on like Donkey Kong

[Mandle]

I'm stoked that two people liked my story (#14)...Thanks Stupot for one of those!

I voted 2, 4, 8...

Gratz to the placers and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with next

[FatCactus]

Congrats finalists! I voted for two of you, though I won't say who.

And thanks to the three people that voted for mine (#15).

[TheBitPriest]

Wow!  I am surprised to see that three people chose mine, number 8.  After seeing the other entries, I felt a little foolish for entering.  There are some amazing stories on that list!  Good job, folks.

[Misj']

Congrats guys.

I voted for two of you (my votes were: 6, 12, and 15; because they each made me smile a little). And thanks to everyone accidentally clicking story number 1.

[dactylopus]

[Eric]

I voted 2, 5, and 10, and I accidentally sent my story off into the void and not to Andail.

[Baron]

I accidentally sent my story off into the void and not to Andail.

Number 11 has come forward at last!  I almost voted for you, as a joke, but there were just too many deserving stories.

[Mandle]

Wow!  I am surprised to see that three people chose mine, number 8.  After seeing the other entries, I felt a little foolish for entering.  There are some amazing stories on that list!  Good job, folks.

I liked the cadence you achieved in the latter half of the story.

[Adeel]

After seeing the other entries, I felt a little foolish for entering.  There are some amazing stories on that list!  Good job, folks.

This is precisely what I felt too. Well conveyed, TheBitPriest!

[CaptainD]

Yay, I didn't get the least votes!  Just shows you that my terrible fear of public toilets is shared by others.

[Andail]

Heck, maybe it's better to just announce #4, #6, and #12 the winners and move on?

It would be almost zero work for me to make a final round, but then I thought to myself, why, really? Why not let these people be the winners and let everyone regroup and charge their batteries for the next edition of this competition, one that everyone can participate in?

It was great to see so many nice entries btw, I hope we can get this kind of interest again. Next time I suggest we have a theme.

[frenzykitty]

Im happy with that plan

[selmiak]

cool, I still don't get #6. Is it a cat???

[Mandle]

cool, I still don't get #6. Is it a cat???

[Baron]

cool, I still don't get #6. Is it a cat???

I think it's a metaphor for the precariousness of dignity....
