        I had to vote for Xerxes- it had a fastmoving style. The beginning was blah, but then after the firstr 2 pages- it really improved!

        The converstaions were short and sweet

                  It seems that you lose more of these than you win, unless you're friggin OsWolf, that guy won a ton not too long ago

                      Postmortem or Cradle....... I loved those stories. It's tough.

                        Ive gone with Postmortem but it was indeed tough, and it goes to show the great standard of work there is on this forum.

                        Every one of these stories is a winner to my mind but alas we have to choose, and there can be only one!

                          Thanks, Chrisius. This is yet another close one, it seems. Another runoff maybe?

                            Maybe. Not very many people voting this time, huh?

                              Well, 17 people so far seems like quite a bit to me. Taking into consideration how some of the previous contests went.

                              Now, I am wondering here. We have a three-way tie for first. If things stay the same, are we still going to have a two-day runoff? It doesn't seem too fair to me, since the finals should have four stories, and then the runoff would have three stories, yet only two days to vote. Maybe if that is the case by sunday, you would consider lenghtening the period for this particular runoff, dc?
