This needs topping DC 
I think this round will be good, as there are some fabulous stories on the go right now.

"Trial for Atrocity" by nbarclay, another great little short story, very well written IMO.
I assume it is complete please correct me if I am wrong. It would help if you put The End at the end

Well.... I didn't want to have to do this myself, but since noone else seems to think it worth the effort I'll nominate my own "Stains of Blood and Ash."

SKI, I don't recall reading that. Could you post a link?
And I'll second both "Trial for Atrocity" and "What Would Judas Do?"

I browse the forums with avatars and sigs turned off, so I wouldn't know.
And like I said in the other thread, I'd never boycott a good story, even if I may disagree with the viewpoint it takes/promotes. Third this baby.

I'll slow down the writing, I'm starting to feel a bit guilty about this.

I can't see I'm too eager to have any more of my stories involved in this.
How about this instead:
Skipie, why don't you submit another bunch of stories to fill up the roster and then you can win the contest by default.

Well, I'm not honestly sure if that was simple a poor handling of a comment or if you actually meant to insult me and call me a cheater. If it is the former I'll ignore it, if the latter... I'll ignore it.
I am not a cheater, scratch, and if it makes you feel better I would be happy to see one of my stories postponed for a later contest. Hell if you want to go all out I'll ask DC to postpone two of them and be careful not to submit more than one per contest in the future.

DingDickleDork is so sensitive. Dude, I forgot the smilies on the end of it and just edited them in. Take it easy. I really don't care who wins the contest or whatever so submit as you like.

Completely magnificent, though perhaps less relevant to this contest than some.
