I should confess I was Anonymous II for this contest. (Hey, we needed another entry!) I guess my rapid creation of the story shows, too, judging by the lack of votes! :)

I also notice even I failed to follow the "urban fantasy" rule. Gah. What a hypocrite! :)

[Charles Gramlich]

Considering that you were the "god" of the contest I think you can be forgiven. I will send you my choice today. Thanks everyone who voted. And, hey, I didn't even vote for myself this time.

way to go, alla youse guyz :)

[Avery]

Whee! I can't believe I got ONE vote let alone enough to bring me in second behind the ridiculously talented Mr. Gramlich.

Thanks to all of you who voted for my story, and congrats to Charles and Whirlochre for their deserved wins.

[Phoenix Sullivan]

BIG congrats not just to the winners but to everyone who participated. Talent runs amok here!

And WW, are you outting yourself just so you can claim another point in McK's Challenge this month, hmm? ;o)

[writtenwyrdd]

Basically, yes. :)

[Sarah Laurenson]

Awesome! And so deserving. Congrats to the winners!

LOL - I'm glad you get one more point WW. This was a great contest and you are a gracious host.

[writtenwyrdd]

Silly me, I like having an excuse to buy ridiculous prizes. Um, I mean really cool but ridiculous prizes. I then generally buy 2 and get to keep one....

Congrats you guys! Thanks for hosting the contest WW, looking forward to the next one.

Yay, Charles, Avery and Whirlochre!

And thanks to all the brave posters who submitted--I enjoyed all your stories!

[Charles Gramlich]

Thanks everyone.

[Charles Gramlich]

"Ridiculously Talented?" Can I quote you on that?

[Whirlochre]

Well done to all.

[Avery]

Absosmurfly.

[Avery]

Thanks, everyone. All of the entries were fantastic.

[mckoala]

Yay for Charles, Avery and Whirligig!

Charles wanted the anthology Steampunk; Avery wanted Nunzilla, and Whirl wanted spec art. So everyone got what they wanted.

And you know what I have? TWO Buddy Christs, because I already had one. Guess what someone will be winning for Christmas????? (It seems rather appropriate somehow, too.)

HURRAY! Congrats to the winners and I'm so sorry I wasn't more active.

I loved all the entries - even anonII!

[writtenwyrdd]

LOL. Next time you need to participate.
