Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #3

[Ursa major]

Congratulations, TDZ.

 

[The Judge]

Congratulations, TDZ! Congratulations and commiserations to the other tie-breakers!

 

[Hex]

And I thought that was the way they spelled it in Morningside!

It's not how we spell it in Morningside. I had to avert my eyes (sorry Cul, not critiquing, just trying to defend the honour of Morningside).

Congratulations, TDZ old gel, your story made me cry.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Well done TDZ, it was a long time coming!

 

[Boneman]

Well done TDZ!! An amazing story that finally won through against three other amazing stories. Yours just had that wonderful ending that I didn't see coming, which was so sweet and sad at the same time. Perfect 300 words!

 

[nixie]

Congratulations TDZ

 

[Highlander]

What a close tie-break that was!

Well done TDZ, just winning by the odd vote - great tale with a marvellous ending.

Commiserations to the narrowly defeated stories which were all great as well.

 

[alchemist]

Well done TDZ, and well fought!

 

[Starbeast]

Congradulations to TheDustyZebra

Well done to the other finalists!

Alchemist - Mosaix - TheSpurringPlatty

 

[Mouse]

Ooh, close in the end there. Congrats, TDZ!

 

[mosaix]

Well done TDZ. Congrats on a close fought battle.

Commiserations to Alchemist and TSP too.

 

[Moonbat]

Yes, well done diddly done Dusty,

Who'd have thunk it could be so close?

TheDustyZebra's Winning Story

Sorry, Cul, that I had to change the composition of your lovely picture, but it was necessary; otherwise the pop-up ad would have covered part of her head, which ruined the composition entirely.

 

[The Spurring Platty]

Dusty Zebra - my congratulations as well!

 

[PolarityMan]

I got all into this image and signed up to the board just to post an entry without noticing the deadline was long since past and the competition over

Still got me writing something for the first time in years so going to try to keep up the enthusiasm for the next one. Winning entry was excellent, really original take on the picture.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Fear not, we have a monthly 75 word challenge, too. There's still time to enter that (although only a couple of days, if I recall rightly...dates elude me these days).

 

[nixie]

[The Judge]

Well, you're still in time for the 75 worder! http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum/533936-75-word-challenge-november-2011-read-first-post.html

(Welcome to the Chrons!!)


EDIT: everyone beat me to it!

 

[PolarityMan]

Pfft learn my lesson and read the instructions first? I have my thinking cap on for the 75 worder right now

 

[TheDustyZebra]

I just wanted to thank everyone again for the votes in the last 300, and let you know that I got my prize today!

It took many days of studying the myriad of possibilities and some wrangling back and forth with currency exchange rates between the UK site and the US site, and more than a little patience on the part of The Judge, but I finally chose Blake Snyder's Save the Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need.

Thanks, guys, and thanks Brian and TJ!
