Fun, yes. With one caveat: The illistrator doesn't compete. Why? Because I think it would be unfair as you know the piece(s) better. OTOH, if it is tradional that the previous winner not compete, then I don't see a problem at all. Zhaneel

Congrats to Sialia and well done to PC, who was such a gracious loser I'm jealous. ;-) I'm totally interested in writing next time, so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. Though with the current company, I'll be impressed if I make it to round 2. Zhaneel

I don't do poetry. :-) But those are cute pics... :-) It was a cold December night. Or at least it was cold for California. And I'm not talking Bay Area or LA. I'm talking northern California. You know, where it snows? No, not Tahoe. Anyway, it was a cold December night, and there was...

You both are too friendly! :-) I think they both deserve to win. Co-winners. ;-) (less competition for the rest of next round). Zhaneel

I've seen this one, but not gotten the answer. My math friends are torturous when they care to be. Zhaneel

Ark! Hey now... I've gone through a lot of trouble to break out of you. No fair trying to squish me back into your personality. ;-) Zhaneel *who is really herself, ask mythago*

The good! Okay, here we go: Sialia first PC Sorry I didn't include stuff like the first time 'round. I do think both of you did a great job. And I think you did better than I could have given the same pictures and time. Congrats to both of you, regardless of who wins, you've both...

*kicks self* One of the first things I learned as a critiquer was to offer good with bad. *twack* I didn't do that here. I'm sorry. I did like parts and if you like I will go back and point out what I thought worked well too. *slinks off* Zhaneel

Wow, Sialia that was very informative and interesting. Thank you for sharing. OTOH, I will re-state: I liked both your and PC's stories. So it is not a matter of "who sucked the least." You both wrote good stories and you both wrote well. The critism is just that: Constructive critism. How...

I like spoonfed. I like spoonfed from the author AFTER I've read my own meaning into it. So this was interesting to me. I think some of what you were trying to do came across, but much of it (due to a 3 day writing time) got scrunched and mushed so that those of us not in your brain didn't...

You're very welcome PirateCat. I'm trying to do this at work or right before bed, so I haven't had a lot of time. I think maybe I will volenteer to help judge the next round, if people will have me. Zhaneel

Taking into account that the villagers know that the some of the wishes are going to be known and that they should be something the village could/would do something about, these are the types of wishes I would expect in the urns. I wish the blacksmith would be able to work with better...

Oh yeah, quick note: Zhaneel

Sialia, I just had some thoughts running through my head last night. Tarnby's death was an impact because we had seen he was a true friend and caring soul. Zhaneel

Okay, so I'm afraid I'm going to forget. And I figured out how to use the spoiler tags, so I'm going to go ahead and post. PirateCat's Story Sialia's Story Zhaneel

Nice of you. So thoughtful. :-) Zhaneel *bump*

Wow... very good, both of you. Want to comment more. Don't want to influence judges. Was worth the wait... though I didn't see any heaving bosoms in PirateCat's story... seems like the romance novel migrated to Siala's. Zhaneel

*checks the forums* No update yet! *bounces impatiently* Zhaneel

Tease... we know you're not going to post the story until Sunday so in the meantime we're patiently waiting and you're baiting us. :-) Can I have some more, sir? Zhaneel

Always a good plan! Good luck to both of you. Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Zhaneel
