Week 6 Results

Great writer Blue...
Congrats to the winners...A really fine job allllll the way around.

Wow - now that's a fast result! Brava, Mme VoteCounter!

Hip, hip, hooray for all four -- thank you all for excellent reading and inspiration.

Congrats to the finalists and you're a terrific writer, Blue. Bet we will be seeing more of your work in publication!

Warm regards, Susie

Wow, that was fast! Thanks, VoteCounter and Jenna.

Kira - You're an amazing writer, and I look forward to reading more of your work - here, by e-mail and, of course, on bookstore shelves.. It's too bad we have to lose anyone; in my mind, you're right there with us.

Blue Texas,
I have really enjoyed your writing and am very sad to see you leave the competition. I will PM you when there is some daylight on my coast.

Ah, Kira, I really had you pegged to go to the finals. I'll dearly miss reading your work. Thank you for being such a terrific Idolist.

Congratulations to the Final Trio! Looking forward to reading your new work...

Side note: Only 116 votes? ((sigh)) You can lead a horse to water...

Jenna, is it okay if we start voting more than once?

BlueTexas, I enjoyed all your entries. Sorry to see you go. You've got a great writing future ahead of you.

Kira, I am truly disappointed to see you go. I enjoyed your stories and hoped that you and William would go toe to toe for the Grand Prize. You will be posting in the JFF thread won't you?

Congrats! to the remaining finalists.

Big hugs to the Vote Counter and Jenna for posting results, # of voters, and the theme so quickly.

So in other words, "Congrats to the finalists, I hoped none of you would be in it"? Nice.

Oh Kira, I'm so sad to see you go! You've done some amazing writing throughout the contest. Thanks for sharing it with us

Congrats to the remaining three. And holy guacamole, did you see your next challenge? Have fun!

What are you saying here, Three? That's not at all what I was saying.

Kira, Congrats for going full power through the contest. You've got great material and talent. Looking forward to more lively chats in the chatroom too!

Kira, you have been awesome. I hope to read more of you writing. Rest assured, you have a fan base here.

And congrats to the final 3. You have all done well.

Aw, Kira, you know I'm a big fan of your writing. (And besides, we've been published in a book together! That was cool.) Much continued success to you!

Hearty congratulations to the finalists!!!! Wow, nail biting time now. It's getting down to the wire. Good luck!

Congratulations to the final three!! It's really hard to vote anymore...

Blue Texas, I have so enjoyed reading your work and look forward to seeing more of it on the forums! What have you had published? (PM if you want) (Or not, Hey!) You gotta feel good about getting so far!!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys.

Honestly, Joanne and I discussed topics that would knock us of the running in the very beginning of the contest. Humor was one of the ones I knew would be the end of me, so I'm not surprised. I did the best I could, and that's all I can do, so I'm not too bummed out. I haven't been writing near as long as the final three, anyway--I didn't expect to be in this contest at all.

Now, I can start lengthening some of these entries to send them out, and work on my novel again. And Mac, I can give your prompts more attention now

Thanks for all the support, votes and lovely comments you guys have sent me throughout this contest. You guys have given me the confidence to believe I can write, something I wasn't sure of two months ago, and that's a valuable thing.

Congrats to the final three...

Condolences, Kira. You did an amazing job.

Kira,

Sorry to see you go. I will really miss the ghost stories this week. Best to teh final three.

A.

Sad to see you go, Kira. Good luck in your writing career.

Sorry to see you go, Kira. You're a great writer!

I fell in love with your writing during the course of this contest, Kira. Keep it up and we'll be seeing you in the bookstores!

Sad to see ya' go, Kira! Loved reading your entries. You did a great job!


Congrats to the remaining three! Good luck....

Kira, I've loved reading your entries week after week! And I just read your JFF piece...really enjoyed it!
