Do you work for Infogrames by any chance, DC? Three days ago you said:

And now you say, that we have to wait three more days? Hey, now, we don't want to wait a year for a news item!

JK, Cloud, take your time, we have some stories to read here, for now.

No, I said three days till the finals poll is over so that I can announce the winners

when it's over we can do a 3 part newsitem

Contest #14,15,16

And perhaps a new announcement on the new editor of the Stories section in the Apolyton Directory... Myself

We need a tiebreaker

If the tie is broken- I can announce the winner early

A question why has "A Cradle Of Thorns" been ommitted from the nominations? It is finished and I myself nominated it and I believe SKILORD seconded it.

The upcoming contest is gonna be a REALLY tough choice. Most of these stories could be individually voted best in their own way.

And now that you mention it, Dark, maybe every few contests we should have a contest devoted to stories in different categories - comedy, action, history, and so forth. The first one could involve all the stories that came first, second, and third in the contest so far. After that, we do a similar awards contest every... I dunno, eight contests or so.

Ive got one in progress at the moment but cannot commit time to writng it for now but I shall return Centauri

I agree with our strumming friend each of these stories deserves to be a winner, mind you the same can be said for rounds 13 and 14.

Well, the numbers in the current contest kind of proove that. I mean, if somebody doesn't vote for Either bassman's story, of the culture flip, we are going to have to have another 2-day poll...

That's a good idea!

Should we allow all the ones which won the first few contests to participate?

The main work with the thing will be determining which stories fall under which categories...

I think we should, because since there will be a lot of categories, there will be few stories to fill them, and if we have one story per category, that would be ... well, not much fun.
