Dear all, this week our guest host is FlashDog stalwart Sal Page. She has gone beyond the realms of her daily pool report and invited you to join her in her watery kingdom so without further ado, take it away Sal: Water. What would we do without it? Die, that’s what. And it wouldn’t […]
This week’s stories made judging an extremely close call, there was very little to choose between any of them and perhaps on another day, the results would have been in a completely different order. Although small, this week’s entries formed a great collection and for some reason the numbers brought to mind the quote from […]
Okay, all. Sorry for the late results. (These 12-hour workdays have been rough, but I do apologize.) What’s especially disappointing about posting late is that you all wrote some AMAZING stories. This was one of those weeks where any one of you could have won, and I mean that. All right, the moment you’ve all […]
You guys really stepped up to the plate this week. I know it wasn’t easy for our judges. Here’s what Firdaus has to say. Wow! The entries this week were so good that it took me awhile to pick the winner. And I can tell you it was not an enjoyable task. Every story was […]
Sooo many great entries this week. You guys are awesome. And I know how difficult the initial prompt was! As always, there is never enough room on the podium. 🙁 A HUGE thanks to Dana Faletti for helping me judge this week. Here’s what she had to say. “I had a wonderful time judging this […]
Wow, you guys are amazing. A HUGE thanks to this week’s judges, Bill Engleson and Sal Page. Here’s what Bill had to say. I am, by nature, an observer. Not a natural judge. It is likely that I am also a little too self-effacing, self-deprecating to be a judge. Actually, no likely about it. In […]
Welcome back colonists! It’s been truly wonderful to see you return week-after-week to duel against each other with words as your only weapons – but boy are they powerful. When people think of artists, they think painters, musicians, sculptors, rarely do they consider the writer – unless you’re a poet (and preferably a dead one). But […]
Wow! You guys are amazing. I know both judges had a really hard time choosing this week. Craig said, “Fantastic work by everyone this week, so many great stories to choose from!” And Firdaus said, “I had no idea how difficult it is to judge. I must say, all the entries were unique and I […]
So many awesome stories this week! Agh! Why’d you guys have to make things so hard on us? lol All right, let’s get down to it. Here we go. A HUGE thanks to Stella Turner for helping me judge this week. 🙂 I could really use some additional volunteers to help run the contest. Please […]
Welcome back, everyone! We had twenty awesome entries this week, and somehow the judges managed to narrow the stories down. This is such a difficult task, so please take a moment to send some thanks to CR Smith and Amy Wood. Thank you both! 😀 All right, the moment you’ve all been waiting for… Honorable […]
