Hello again folks.

Just thought we could have a nice cosy little vote on the best short story from all the SSC entries so far this year.

Yes, it does include anything up until 31st December, but you can vote now if you want. And, no, you can't vote for one of your own stories.

Now, I thought this would be a good little addition to the usual Short Story Comp because everyone can have a vote on this one instead of just the person who won the last one. It might bring up a few surprises (or Meka might win ;-) ).

How about it?


Oh, and someone else can tally up the votes on 31st December, as I may not be able to get online until later in Jan.

It's almost impossible to pick one, without having to read them all over again.

Don't fight it Paradoxical, I am sure to win. I have a genie in a bottle who grants me anything I wish.

.. and in the time it took for me to write that everyone else had posted their opinion :)

I'm off for a well earned pint.

A short list? After I put up that flipping long one?

*sighs* :D

Actually it is probably the best idea. We all vote for our favourite story by each writer and they all go into the final and we vote again.

Or you could just give it to FFF for My Wonderful Creation (this is still one of my favourites but I haven't read many of the SSC 15 ones yet).

What amuses me about this is the fact that crossbob automatically qualifies straight into the final :D

Isn't Ineedsleep great!
Good idea pb.

Maybe each writer should nominate their best two or something (for the shortlist)...
