[QUOTE="FickleGM, post: 4237059, member: 8964"] Congratulations, Dlsharrock. Your story deserved the victory. While it may not have been my style of story, I could felt it was a stronger entry than my story. Good luck from here on out. I may have went too far with inside jokes (or not-so-inside) and such, but I was in a real giddy mood when I wrote it. Once again, I find that I rush my stuff (I believe that all my CDM entries have had some advice to the effect of expanding more on my thoughts and not rushing so much). I am a very impatient person and it shows in my writing. With practice, I hope to eventually improve. I'll also say that I have a hard time writing anything deep or meaningful (I like books and movies with thin plots, too). It isn't my style and at times seeing other people's deep and/or meaningful stuff is quite intimidating. Finally, while I can see the shortcomings of my story, I still had a lot of fun writing it (it was my most fun story to date) and if I will be competing in the future. :) Now, I get to sit back and read everyone else's stories.
