Number 3 and number 5 are just not part of the same story in my universe. The others are really fun. I'm looking forward to reading the entries!

Gee, Herremann, sadistic much? Soooo glad I'm not writing in this match.

All I've been doing for the past week is trying to catch up in algebra. Starting the class a week late put me at a real disadvantage, as did the fact that I started with intermediate because of my SAT score and I haven't had algebra in something like 30 years. I hope to get some writing in on...

Hey PC, I spent the day doing algebra, and found that you had started your story nearly exactly the way I would have started mine... I didn't read any farther yet, in case I have time to write something. Just for grins, I'd like to see how much all of our ideas overlap. The set of pictures was...

As soon as I catch up with my algebra homework, you're on.

Oh, you guys are so acute... (this one only works if you're Italian. Which I am. :) )

The Rodrigo/Pirate Cat set. You want to give the other set a shot, Tad?

Now that could be fun... :) And I'll take it under advisement, Disharrock... It's not like you have anything else to do with your time, right? No pesky novels to finish? ;)

I'm sad that I'm not writing. Truly stellar group of images and a story that just begs to be written. *sigh*

You can't have the competition thinking Pirate Cat is kyoot as well as a false smack talker...

I'm hoping to finish reading all of round one this weekend so I can comment. It will be nice to read and enjoy without the pressure of judging! So far the stuff I've read has been excellent.

If you can have fun AND be deep and meaningful, so much the better...

Well, it makes it less painful if it seems like you're going in the right direction. I know that the older (and theoretically wiser) I get, the less I seem to know, and the less often I'm really pleased with my art or my writing. I plan to comment on the other entries after all of them are...

Damn. I didn't see this coming. The same thing happened to me with the pet rock and the Rubik's Cube. :(

Dibs, schmibs. I see a good idea and I run with it. Half elves are much faster than dwarves the last time I looked. :) Seriously, you can write it first, but I do think a spin-off is a good idea.

Thanks, Patrick. I am pretty disappointed in myself for this one, but sometimes real life gets in the way of art. I'm seriously considering retooling it at some point, without the constraints of the pictures.

Probably having the in-laws for tea is the worst of the lot... :) Seriously, glad you're OK Arwink. I suggest a spin-off of SSS- everyone writes a story with the subtitle The Curse of Ceramic DM. IMHO, the curse started back with the great post fire, but it may have started before that- that...

Congrats, Mythago on the win. I found it amusing that we both went with gold Speedos even though they weren't in the picture. Thanks judges for the comments. I came down with the stomach flu on Monday night ( I think I may have turned completely inside out at one point) and Tuesday I was...

I had the flu last week and managed to turn in a story. It made me cranky that you didn't. But you did cop to the fact and I think I was overly harsh with you since I was still feeling cranky. So, all is forgiven but don't let it happen again... :)

What the kitty said. It's hard to be objective when you only have 72 hours from idea to execution. My stories fall into two categories, I either am in love with what I wrote and can't quite see it realistically, or I hate what I came up with and feel like it's utter crap. A couple of stories...
