The unofficial Story Contest comments thread

**Azi Tohak** · 07-31-2005, 20:43

I don't know how well this will go over with those in charge, but I thought I would make this so we can give (not insulting) comments to those who have posted for the contest.

I must say, I am pleased. Those stories are pretty good, and I think the judging will be tough.

I am just happy I finally saw the silly contest (I frequent the backroom most of the time. D'oh!).

Thank you Monk for organizing this.

yes, thank you monk for organizing this! and smart job making this thread azi.

unfortunately, i still have not read any of the other stories in the contest!

i'll probably just read the winner and runner-up once they're announced.

I think these contests should be organized more often. One a month would be nice? There doesnt always have to be a prize. Just the little comment under your avatar would be nice. I rather enjoy these.

Is someone volunteering to organize?

And yes, you're right about the icon. But having them infrequently is better I think. Maybe once or twice a year. To make the icon mean something.

Happy to know you guys are using this already though.

I want credit for this!!! If it wasn't for me, the second writing contest wouldn't have started!!!!!!! Ask Monk!!!!

Yeah, I would volunteer to organize the second one. It's very cool.

Some good stuff there, it's a shame I won't be around to vote though. If I could, at the moment my vote would go to The Shadow One. Nice work man!

Thanks for your comment. About a year ago, when I first joined this group, I posted quite a few musings -- a series of short essays -- that appeared in the Frontroom section of the Tavern. This went on for several months, until I found some serious employment. Diverted by training and some personal issues, I disappeared for awhile, only to return several months later discover the landscape seemed to have changed. I didn't recognize many of the regulars and so I began to lurk, posting only rarely.

I was pleased to come back last week and find the story contest, and it still open. I missed last years by a couple of days.

So, another thanks to those, like Monk, who organized it and made it happen. I'd be willing to help out in any future contests you might have.
