Oh. Poor Simon. :(Oh well. I love you anyway.
No votes for mine either. Not surprised. so who won?
17 votes???Good grief.
That's abysmal.

yay the story I voted for won! Well done everyone!
I voted for Lady Penelope - it made me laugh out loud! I wrote Trimming the Tree - joint third sounds better if I don't mention how many people I shared the position with!
As Jud's not around today (she said she's going home today, didn't she?) it'd be great if the authors would tell us who wrote which one, please.
Ignite, impress me and guess which one was mine again :)

No idea DM. When the woman with whom I lived for 18 years (daughter Jenny!) enters I can never guess which is hers!You'll have to 'fess up!

You'd think he'd be clever enough to think of that on his own, wouldn't you?
I voted for Contact. I thought it used the stated words naturally and cleverly, and flowed well.Ignite, you guessed last time and said you could tell my writing style ;)
Mine was "A Dwarf Like No Other", with a title shamelessly inspired by a title of the other Darren, and a story based on the ongoing contest between Gimli and Legolas in LOTR (in case anyone didn't realise).

Wonderful Nicola!
Actually Darren, I read that twice and thought it was yours. Then I thought, Nah! Should have gone with my convictions!
Mine was Lady Penelope.I wrote the body of the story hoping something would come along and surprise me. Into my head popped an interview with the weather girl Sian Lloyd in which she asked the interviewer for a shag. 'That'll do nicely' thought I, hehe.
There were some lovely tales though, enjoyed it very much :)
Mine was Eine Kleine Nachtsmusick. One whole vote!

Mine was Raleigh & Drake. Visiting the then MP for Plymouth and smuggling silver plate from the loot captured for Queen Liz. Couldn't get it across the in word count.Never mind I tried.
That's the whole point Pat. I got no votes last time!

Mine was love lost. I enjoyed this, looking forward to the next one!
Well, Love Lost won! :) So you not only get to look forward to the next one, you get to decide what the exercise is!Well done!

Thanks DM, that was mine. At least someone voted for it!

Hey! I DID vote for yours... pity no-one voted for mine though (Merewin)
Woo! Thanks guys for the voting. I'll think of something for the next competition!
Tweeted (it's part of the prize!) If anyone wishes to use/adapt it:"Pure originality...highly entertaining read" (Reviewer, The Super Spud Trilogy by Michael Diack). http://www.amazon.com/The-Super-Spud-... @Superspud_book
hmmm...I've forgotten how to switch off the html for http text...
See, you've forgotten what most of us never knew - brain the size of a planet!
I've tried the blockquote, pre and code tags. None of them have the desired effect :(Anyone familiar with how to do it?

I don't speak what language that is...
Well done, Michael, for coming top, and to everyone else who entered. I wrote 'Priorities'.
That must've taken some time, Simon - we were only supposed to submit one entry...
So do I just start a new thread #writing comp 10 ? I'll come up with something early next month. Thanks for all the congrats everyone.
Nope Michael.Send Jud a pm with your comp rules and she'll sort everything out from there.
:)
But Jud's on hols. Early next month sounds fine though. :)
I think new year will be good. Something to get 2013 going.
Yes, everyone needs a break over the hols, I reckon.
