ENW Short Story Smackdown Summer 07 (Winner Announced)

[Cevalic]

Trench, Cevalic, how about a 1 Aug start? That'll give Trench a day back and as much time as possible before the wedding.

You know, I hope participating in Ceramic DM doesn't lead to marriage. I'm going to need one of those dosimeter badges or something...

August 1 sounds fine with me.

Hope the badges offer some type of warning.

I will be at Polish Woodstock this coming weekend, but any day starting monday is ok with me. Not working at the moment (the benefits/curses of being a teacher in the summertime), just getting ready for the boat trip, so any day/time on or after monday, July 30, is ok with me.

Hmm...anytime after this weekend is going to be busy for me. I guess I'd prefer it to be early on Monday since that'd be my only day off. My daughter also come back in country on 8/2, so it'd be good to have the story out of the way. Post whenever though, and I'll give you a story.

Yay! Thanks to the judges for the kind words (and for advancing me to round 2 ) The comments about the ending feeling rushed were right on target. I was pretty hurried with the ending. Also, I agree with MaxfieldJadenFox that more about why Avari's secret was secret and so forth would have been good. Anyhow, this has been a blast so far and I look forward to the next round.

Also, I must tip my hat to EP - I very much enjoyed the story.

Regarding round 2 start, I'm fairly flexible through August, so just make as many other people happy as possible. Looking forward to seeing the new pictures.

Well, I got divorced a couple of months ago, but I don't think there was a CDM connection.

Ok, Hellefire and yangnome start Monday. I'll try to post the pictures around 9am my time.

Here's a sort of off topic question:

I'm having a lot of fun with this competition and would love to find a place online with more stuff like it. Do any of you know of any forums (friendly ones like ENWorld ) with a creative writing focus?

I should be able to start the second round this weekend. Most weekdays in August should be fine as well. I have plans the weekends of August 3rd-5th and (I believe) the 11th-12th.

The NaNoWriMo forum was pretty friendly.
