Darnit, Klazzform. I thought I had a few hours left to decide (it's still the Fourteenth here), and the poll's closed. I had made up my mind, too.

I gotta start remembering the internet doesn't always run on Eastern Standard Time.

[Klazzform]

Sorry

A three way tie? Well that''s fitting since they were all so good this month. I've got my new one on deck already...can't wait to get it up!

[Antigone]

<facepalm>......I never voted.

[Klazzform]

Only three ppl voted >.> Wow! I am one of those so that means that two of the people who wrote didn't even vote...

[Aeternis]

some people might feel bad about voting for themselves, but yet not want to vote against themselves either. Last month, I did not cast my own vote until it was clear I would not decide the contest for myself. In this case, had I participated, Iwould have abstained. Of course, that position was forced on me even though I wanted to vote by a little timezone mixup only part.

[Darkshard]

That's sort of what I did. I didn't actually think my story was best, so I was going to vote against myself, but I didn't want to vote before I knew if I'd influence the outcome against myself. So I waited... Then voting was finished already! Oops.

[Vitus]

Ah well, the voting isn't as important as the writing and the reading, so no worries. It's nice to win, but I like the feedback better than anything else. I'm pretty happy to just have people read my stuff...heck I hand my stories to my 8th grade students to read, just to get feedback. I drive my fiancee crazy shoving endless stories under her nose. Heh.

[The Jaded]

Personally I don't need to win to feel good about my writing. If it gets as far as being posted, it passes my exacting standards for "this is good enough to show someone", which I've been told is likely a far harsher review than anyone else could ever give it.

Speaking of which, I'm almost done shredding and rebuilding my February entry (again). I'll probably post it this weekend.

[Klazzform]

If you guys are happy, than so am I

[The Jaded]

There, I'm just going to let go of it and say "done." I don't think it came out as well as "Day One", but it's not bad.



Maybe I should wash more of the polemic out of it... Nah.

[Darkshard]

Fastest rushed-in story ever... boy, that was hard to write.

[Klazzform]

Very sorry for the delay What the heck happened to February??? Anyway, everything is updated and ready to go. I extended the voting until the 17th since I was two days late this month. Good luck!!!!

[Aeternis]

Wow, seven votes already. I haven't even finished reading them. I'd better get cracking.

Being contrary, of course when you mention subterranean exploration as a theme I wonder how I can fit a zeppelin into the thing somewhere. I tried to write this one as the protagonist thinks - that is, not thinking ahead or planning anything. Your call as to how that turned out.
