There is a rule, if you refer to this forum (Competitions and Activities) specifically. See here.
Okay, thanks

I did wonder.
And now, my thoughts:
WHAM: I really loved reading your entry; it was believable with a little humor scattered through. The only comment I would make is that, like Sinitrena, I wish you'd written about the meeting with the dog at the end as that would have made it perfect for me. I'd certainly read more of this story if you do decide to post it.
jahnocli: The characters had their own distinct voices and you did a good job of portraying the relationship between them, but I felt your entry read more like a snippet than an actual story. I think the online gambling made the whole thing a little jarring.
Sinitrena: Your writing was excellent as always, but I have to agree with WHAM that it was a little too Harry Potter-ish. I did like the twist at the end where Kessy decides to stick with the humans instead of returning home
Baron: The writing was good, but it wasn't quite my style. I like random and humor, but I felt that your story took it a little too far for me to enjoy it. That said, there was one sentence that really made me grin:
Toad half-heartedly tried to squeeze his mass through the crack, but ended up looking more like someone had tried to plaster over the crack with a wad of warty goo.
Brilliant imagery

BUT! It's not up to me or The Squid who wins; it's up to all of you guys! So, without further ado, I present (drumroll please!)
The RESULTS!First place goes to
Baron, who gets to take home the gold DNA trophy with a whopping 7 votes!

Second place and the silver DNA trophy goes to
WHAM, with 4 votes:

And finally, squeaking into third place with one vote, the winner of the bronze DNA trophy,
jahnocli!

So, looks like the next contest admin will be Baron!
