i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Yep. Thanks for the votes, congrats to my fellow top nominees, and good work to all.

One would think that the prizes were already enticing enough... as always, different contests have different benefits...Menolly wrote:Xar, just curious, as I see no mention of it this time in the Contest rules. Were there any additional benefits to entering the contest, other than the possibility of winning, the self-satisfaction of writing and (hopefully) the good will of the AllFather?
I never win.

Have you ever felt like Charlie Brown on Halloween when everyone else gets candy and he gets a rock?

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. There is no fear in love; for perfect love cast out fear.

I wasn't going to mention it, but since Menolly did... I could've sworn when I went to write my entry it was because something had been said about getting something just for entering, and I didn't want to miss out because of the large number of entrants. But after the results went up I looked around and there was nothing to indicate that was the case. Thought I must have just imagined it...
Anyway--grats to the winners.

I just tend to feel like Calais about the contests.

It was new and old and it was different from any other planet. It was earth.

I thought EVERYONE did a great job. It was difficult to pick a top three. I also think everyone here is a winner just for making the effort. I enjoyed all the stories. Thanks.
