23. Phew, that’s a lot.
Surely this must have been going for over a year now.
Anyway, yuss, thank you to pb for picking me as winner of the last SSC, and here’s a new little thinger to get your mitts stuck into. I thought I’d choose this topic after the song my winning story reminded pb of, because I’m sentimental and all, awwww. Anyway, go forth and bring back a story related to or entwined with (or something) the topic of:
Wire(s)
So, yuss, stick that in there somewhere. I don’t care how.
Rules:
- Not too long, y’know. FFF doesn’t want to be outdone, does he? (ah crap, I know what’s coming)
- Entries must be good (sorry crossbob).
- Needs to be in by midnight on 28th April, that’s a Thursday. I’ll judge on the Friday.
Go.
-------------------------------------------------------
Okay, okay, okay. Judgement time. Hurrah and such.
3rd Place: "Instinct" by Paradox
Short, snappy, and for all but one of the paragraphs really, really good.
2nd Place: "Invisible Wires" by Meka
I felt this was something quite different to most other Meka stories, and I really enjoyed it. Top stuff.
Winner: "Loss" by Stryke
Excellent, emotional, and yeah. Brilliant. I related to it on so many levels.

I go to York. Hull is an awful uni.
Anyway, yeah, cheers Ashman. Someone else has sorted it for me, props for that.

That's not a word, nor is it good.
Jiggles.
Try working with that.

I'm in favour of the dictatorship. It's hard to pick a random word and stick with it.
Pick a random word, Ashman!
I'm all for random.
As for picking the winner, here's an idea - we all pick a top three, in order, and assign points! 5 for 1st 3 for 2nd 1 for 3rd. Add 'em all uop, and what have you got.
That's right, I love adding up.

Yeah, something like that.
And we'll all have a vote for the winner.
But after that, it's straight back to a dictatorship, none of this 'have your say' malarky.

Sounds good to me.
Shall I open a thread, take Para's advice, and randomly select a word from a dictionary?

We should all vote for the winner on deadline day (seeing there'll be no judge) - unless Meka wants to judge it . . .
