Thanks for your comment Amanda, I agree. I think these stories are wonderful and I am planning to do this again to give more people a chance.

Thanks for the compliment about my daughters story. She is really working so hard with it. I hope your 9 year old likes it. :)

Please feel free to comment on the story you voted for. Tell us why you did. I only made it anonymous so people could vote for privately if they want to.

BUT if you want to share with us who you voted for, please feel free to comment. We would love to hear why you picked the one you did. On the flip side, no negative comments allowed regarding any of the stories. Thanks. :)

Katarina I'll continue the blue gas survivors for you. And I thought that I was the youngest, I'm 13 years old, Lol. I love those kinds of books.


message 7: by Katarina (new)

Katarina But, I don't think that anybody will vote for my short story.

I agree with Monique - the key to writing is...writing. Over and over and over again! One of the great things about this poll is that it's anonymous and we don't know who voted for what. Just the fact that you submitted it says something about your desire and motivation - that's half the battle right there. Keep it up...I look forward to reading more from you in the future!

Katharina Gerlach I'm glad the voting deadline was extended. I'm just back from a holiday and will need a few days to read them all.

That is why I decided to make it anonymous. This way everyone can vote for the story they like best and nobody knows who voted for what story unless they want to say themselves.

I think it is great that so many people submitted their stories. I loved reading all of them. There is some really great talent out there. :)

I do plan on doing this again. :)


message 11: by Christy (new)

Christy Katarina is my daughter. I had NO IDEA that she was writing this and I was pleasantly surprised when she emailed the story to me and told me to read it, AFTER of course she posted it. I love that she loves reading and writing as much as I do and she is only 13 :) I thank everyone has voted for her story!

Katarina I liked Chris Sorenson's story!


message 19: by Danielle (new)

Danielle Smiley Wow! There were so many great stories! I really enjoyed the variety and how developed the stories were in 800 words! Thank you for sharing your work!!! I was really torn between Gifted and Surreal as my two favorites. I also really liked the stripper's story and the zombie story. Awesome job everyone!!!
