oops...there was no consensus on whether to do 12 or 16 though, and there were very few voters...and it seems that the overwhelming number of stories has slowed...maybe we could make a new poll, get it topped, make it more official, so we can be sure of the results...

Perhaps we should wait to 12 or so stories... merely to make the prize more alluring, and people write better stories, perhaps (that is to say, if one believes the quality has been dropping off?)
I don't think it would be detrimental for the contests to last a bit longer?

Cavalier, if you wish to second your story, please say so- authours can second a story- in fact anyone can  All you have to do is post it here
--
I may as well nominate my "In Times of War" story... enough people seemed to enjoy it
--
And another note to Cavalier- interesting premise with your story

So I built a third one. That burnt down, fell over and then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're gonna get, lad, the strongest castle in these isles."

I like the Charioteers Campaigns better than In Times of war; if that's worth anything [In the event that I can only have one story in this round]
And I like Benos story better than In Times of War (Wish I could have seconded that one )
