SHORT STORY WRITERS CONTEST for March 2017 - [WINNERS LISTED]

This was one of the most fun to read and congrats to all of the new writers and for those who didn't win yet, yet...keep it up. I wish that we could give multiple flags sometimes but, that may get a little ridiculous.
I don't know if anyone else did this but, as Augustus had suggested somewhere in a post, I 'matched' the story entry up with the member and some of their posting history and it really gave an insight (I think) into maybe their thought processes or what is near and dear to them? I realize the stories are fictional (or based on fiction) but, I think we (or maybe just I) write from our heart and there is a little of us in everything we write.
Can only speak for myself though, of course, and my crap stories and crap poetry.

It was a blast and congrats again to all!

Congrats to the winners!!!! Always fun reading all the stories.

Congratulations to all the winners, especially our new Writers!

A special thanks to Augustus Masonicus for choosing a very flexible engaging theme. Lots of fantastic writing this time.

Congrats to the winners
I really liked every entry ... especially my own

Seriously, this was a really cool experience for me to go way out of my comfort zone and try something like this
I appreciate the opportunity and look forward to trying again

Great topic choice Mr Augustus, whatcha got next in mind ?

I have something in mind but we're gonna hold off so Tenth can run a special contest.

Lord only knows how that worked out for anyone doing that with me

Would it be possible to get a full list of rankings? Purely for curiosity's sake, of course!

Also, any word on when the next competition will take place? Topic? I may be interested in trying to brush up on my writing and getting that status back again someday.

This was fun though, grats to the winners!

Hi Wookie,

I've PM'd you re: the full results!

Our next contest will be soon.
I believe that tothetenthpower is planning something special to honour our lost friend Masqua.
(He recently passed away and I believe that he was instrumental in setting up and running the original Short Stories Contests.)

All shall be revealed.... soon.
