Thanks! I saved off your comments to an e-mail. Additionally, for my own journey: I posted these in Martin's thread, but I thought I'd repost them here. I haven't been published, but this is a recording of my journey toward that goal. Part 1 – The Early Years, Part 2 – Baby Steps, Part 3 –...

Thanks. Part 3 & Part 4 (mostly links) are now up. Glad to hear you are climbing the ranks. Go! Zhaneel

Thanks for the add, and sorry to have rained on the 2nd chance idea. I would much rather write (at least until I win, mwhahaha) than judge. Especially if I'm short on time. I can write stories while dodging around conferences, but judging that many stories and keeping people waiting. Nope...

She just found this thread. If there's room... I would like to play. However, because of a physical writing workshop (I got into the Summer Workshop for Strange Horizons) I'll be away and unable to play during July 8 - July 12. So, I will understand if that makes me out this time. Thanks for...

Neat! Glad to have found this topic and I wish you all the best with the writing. Your comments at the end are gold, and I hope you use them in your next book! I'm currently blogging about my own writing experience [SF/F fiction mostly, the journey toward being published as I'm not yet] but...

You should compete! Want more blossom stories. Zhaneel

Congrats to Mythago. Way to go to MacBeth... and now to breathe until the next round. Zhaneel

Hopefully when PC wakes up. Zhaneel

You're dying! At least you know when you post whether or not the results are in. I, on the other hand, saw you post and though OMG IT'S UP! Tease. Zhaneel

No apologies. It was a good story. It was the best you could do under the constraints of the contest, and I, for one, enjoyed reading it. Remember what PC said. Don't apologize for your works. The critism is how to make it better, not "omg what a horrible story." I'm not afraid of saying...

And may I just take a moment to thank the Judges? Without them, we really wouldn't have been able to do this competition. Congrats to you guys! Zhaneel

Review of Mythago's story Interesting. You never fail to surprise me with the breadth of types of stories you go after. The German occult story is getting [IMO] a little overdone in the media, but I'll forgive you. ;-) I feel the story was well told, but the ending was a little...

MacBeth, Just finished [quickly] reading through your work. I did like it, but it didn't really draw me. And, to me, the thematic ending was a little weak. And the sledgehammer at the end telling us how Micheal felt [did you choose Micheal for the ArcAngel of war?] rather than a showing that...

You have to bribe them to keep you busy? Thought you had to bribe them to leave you alone? ;-) Zhaneel

As is Kali, Vishnu, et al. from my second round. OTOH, I didn't know there was a rule against religious stuff [argh so now we have a Grandma & a moritorium on RL religion]. Honestly, I think in story form, it shouldn't be a problem. Zhaneel

So good. Soooooo good! And hey, I dulled a semi-colon. Go me. :-) Thank you, dear lady, for that wonderful smack talk. Zhaneel

I suppose your right, PC. OTOH, I think they could be volunteers that just like pain. Zhaneel

I'm all of a sudden very relieved to have been eliminated. Good luck to the victims! Zhaneel

Thanks Mythago. It is amazing what 72 hours does to my brain. Those would make the story much more interesting. I'm committed to rewriting that story. Anyone else with comments? On any of the three stories I had up? I'm looking at rewriting 2/3 or all for publication. Looking for comments...

Thank you! I'll strongly consider it. Depending on timing. Zhaneel
