Oh, yeah, I just voted I'm glad we can't vote for our own. Otherwise I would have been more disappointed my story wasn't in my top three picks
So, Harry. Can you tell us if the votes are going pretty wide, or if people are generally voting for the same stories? I find that I vote differently a lot of the time. I'm interested to see if there's a trend forming?
I'll have a think about this for when I post the daily vote count update later on tonight. Thank for voting, BTW.
Hi Harry,
As much as I too would like to know about trends, I think you should leave us in the dark. Say nothing that might influence voting.

I don't think he should tell us which stories are being voted on, but I do think he should tell us the types of patterns. Have the majority of the stories gotten at least one vote, or do about 3 stories all have ten votes?
They might figure a few stories have such a lock that their vote wouldn't count and decide not to vote.Not that it's a big deal, but I'm just wondering how the voting could be influenced without the titles?
for sure.I'll admit the tension can be almost unbearable, but we're better off not knowing anything at all about the voting, IMHO.
Make that 31 votes! I'm dying to know the spread too, but I agree it's best to keep us in the dark.
But I can't help myself with some analysis. With 31 votes for three stories, then each story on average has two votes for some sort of placing. I wouldn't be surprised if this average is true as of this moment. But where I think things will get lopsided is that certain stories will rack up first- and second-place votes more rapidly than others, so the final point totals will probably shake out heavily to one story's favor.
Dunno. I haven't kept score on a similar contest so I might just be making stuff up as I go. I can make it sound good though, huh?
Only three more to go! I've been busy all day reading the entries here. And I must say I am proud of all those who have entered for this western contest. The stories here mirror talent and ideas. I think have to take a day after tomorrow to decide. I think I have to be reading more of western stories from now on! Good work, people.
And your heartles, too?And that warms the cockles of my heart.
