And a Big Thanks to Encia as well...for stepping in to help with the art work.



We're having some weather come through our area in the next few hours.

I'm grateful to everyone who read and voted.

Well done to SprocketUK and Moon68 for joining me on the podium.

There weren't many stories, but they were all of a high caliber; I've appreciated everyone's participation.

Congratulations to JJProductions and midicon for achieving Writer status... it was only a matter of time, you can't buy class.

Finally, thanks to DTOM for keeping the contest going and it's been a pleasure to help out to bring some colour to the thread.

a reply to: Encia22

Thanks Encia, I feel kind of humbled as my entry wasn't great. I'm also a little sad for those who entered and received no awards this time round.

Hey, I've achieved 'writer' status yet here I am sad and humbled! I'll have to raise my game and try to live up to it.

Thanks also to DTOM and everyone here for being so kind and positive.

Think I missed the deadline.

Oh well, art for art's sake.
