[Sohaib]

Well we are marking your scripts... Patience patience ;P

[Maira]

i have to go and i want to see who won before i go.

[Zenab]

Maira. I'll post all the stories for everyone to read for about two days. And since there were less than 15 submissions, we'll then poll among the top three (based on judges' scores) for one winner.

[Owaiz]

@Aalia: I'll take you to court. Tumne ilzaam tarashi ki hai, woh bhi itnay important time par. Tum... judges ko bias karne ki koshishein kar rahi ho! Tum jallo mat, meri lovestory is going to win!


@Maira: Oh thank you. you too.

@Zeny: There won't be a dharna this time. Mera 'vote of confidence' is with all the judges except Sohaib and Lara.

[Maira]

who is the third judge??

[Sohaib]

@Maira rest assured its not Owaiz ;P:D

@Aalia let him conjure whatever he wants... we are too unbiased ;P

[Maira]

@Maira rest assured its not Owaiz ;P:D


Ameen XD

[Zenab]

Maira there is no third judge. Sirf 2

[Owaiz]

Then I guess I'll have to gather the participants and consider 'vote of no confidence', but I want to wait till the results.

shukar ha result tak ka liye apnni sazishain bannd kar li han. ;p

[Sohaib]

@Aalia lolx high court of demons?? when did the demons dexide to follow a law?? ;-):-P

[Sohaib]

"WE"??!!! We had a vampir hunter and now we have a demon hunter... seriously what is this group attracting!! lolx :-P:-D:-D:-D

btw @Aalia Owaiz likes to associate himself with zombies... u may need to see that law book as well on tips ;-):-P:-D

[Sohaib]

Do they ecen need to be rated??... I mean they dont anything at all... groan... walk.around... never take a bath... and everyone always escapes their barricade ;-):-P:-D:-D

[Owaiz]

@Aalia: How dare you! I think it is safe to assume that I'm the the most tolerant and understanding person in this entire group. I never impose my opinions over others and believe in equality for all. But you wouldn't really understand, larki jo ho.
If you really know me, you very well know I wouldn't have fairies in my court. Fairay hon gay meri court me, hahaha! Acha, baat suno. Tum single ho?

@Sohaib: Good luck classifying the classified.

[Owaiz]

Apna bana loon ga. HAHAHAHAHA

I apologize and take back what I said. I apologize to all the fairies, zombies, ninja bunnies, hobbits, dwarves, et al for being disrespectful toward them. Happy? Ab shaadi karo mujhse.

[Zenab]

Owaiz tum jaisa dil phenk aashiq nahi dekha!!

[Owaiz]

I don't know what dil phenk means aside from the literal translation. Whatever it is, don't worry, is ka dil jeet kar torna hai. Badla lena hai.

[Zenab]

The literal meaning is good enough.
So you wanna pull an amir khan on madhuri of dil?

[Owaiz]

Sure, if that means she'll break her legs herself. Clear conscience!

[Zenab]

I won't stand for this. As a woman, I shan't stand idly by and let you do this to another woman. Don't make me open my can of whoop a$$!!! Hiyaaa

[Owaiz]

Hey, we are one, you and I. Stand for me and don't be a feminazi.

[Zenab]

We are one only jab tum meri tareef kartey ho!!!
Not when you're being a woman-hater! Uh-uh.

[Zenab]

Okay guys, the stories are up, almost. GR isn't letting me post more. I've done everything I can but I keep getting errors. As soon as I can get a hold of Sohaib or Lara, I'll have them try.

Enjoy reading and guessing author.

We'll be polling soon so pick your fave!

[Zenab]

They are under their titles in the 'general' discussion area.

That's selfish. Didn't you learn anything from me?

Enjo..."

Maybe you should post them all in one thread. One post for each story.

[Lara]

I have very limited computer skills...wonder why goodreads isn't letting you post more threads..
I am not reading the public opinion yet, until i'm done scoring all the entries..
I am writing short reviews on the stories, would people like to receive those in their inbox, or shared publicly once the scores are out? i say, no risk, no game, but let me know what you all want.
Thanks all for participating. It's constructive use of my last day of vacation.

[Owaiz]

Share publicly.

[Anna]

Where are the three stories posted so I can read before voting?

[Sohaib]

Anna they are posted under "General" with the same title as that in the polling... plus other stories are also posted under the same tab..

I was wondering why havent u given ur reviews yet ;-):-P:-D

[Sohaib]

Hey everyone.... when's the next competition??

[Maira]

Sohaib wrote: "Hey everyone.... when's the next competition??"

[Sohaib]
