Lots of entries with just a single vote so far. Don't think I've seen that before.

Yeah, sixteen stories, eight of 'em with one vote each.
Is that rare then?
Early days yet with the voting surely.
Edit: (Airplane quote) don't call me Shirley

Usually one or two stories start attracting more interest than others. Either by votes or shortlists.

 

[mosaix]

If I'd entered maybe I'd have got a vote!

 

[Ashleyne]

My shortlist:

Transcription of the Patient's Statement

Okay. I don't do lists very well (even for shopping as my wife will verify) so I'm gonna post single guesses in here as inspiration strikes me on re-reads.
Guess number one..

Dances with the universe - Victoria Silverwolf.

 

[Stuart Suffel]

Not a clue, who is who.
It rhymes! It rhymes!

Danny's probably not far off. Could be 2 or 3 others either.
Anyway, s'long as the work is good.

 

[mosaix]

So just how are we to guess Chris's when there hasn't been a poem submitted?

Lol.

Last anonymous challenge I didn't do a poem either - but somebody else did. I can't anon in verse yet. Or you could assume I'm a red herring.

The red herring thing did occur to me.

If an author gets 'called' correctly they should own up and turn this into a process of deduction...

Well played, Watson.

Shortlist, Favourites & *Vote*

Katy
Couloir Noir
Abandoned
Coping Mechanism
*This Will Probably Get Me Promoted...*

 

[Ashleyne]

There has of yet been no correct guesses.

 

[hopewrites]

I just voted. Giving one of the 5-with 2-votes a kick to second place.

As of my vote, there is a 1st, a 2nd, and 4 3rds.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

One of my hardest choices ever, I think, in any challenge. Terrific stories from top to bottom. There are three I would happily have voted for...even more happily have written. They are:

Transcription of the Patient's Statement (written by Victoria?)
Future Prospects (by Stuart S.?)
This Will Probably Get Me Promoted... (by mosaix?)

My favorite title was This Will Probably Get Me Promoted..., because it's just mad. But I finally went for Future Prospects, and its wonderful last line. Looking forward to seeing who wrote what! CC

ps - also, I think Ashleyne wrote Katy, and Starbeast wrote Alien Contact Has Been Established.

 

[Starbeast]

My top two favorites out of the many great ones.
