Hmm... I wonder who just voted for just Metaliturtle's stories lol.

Oh, and that "Nothing at all" thread was supposed to be this one, but 'Poly screwed up, and by the time I'd gone back and done it all again, it hadn't saved the damned poll settings!

I am not going to tell you to vote for me on this thread, although others do feel that it's appropriate, please vote for the stories you liked, not the ones they tell you to vote for right in the booth.

A tight race This is always good.

I wish the best of luck to those that are listed above. It is an honor to be in a contest with such talented authors.

Off topic...

Anyone have any idea..link wise...where one could go to post general fictional stories? I have been busy writing some stuff I would like critiqued that has nothing to do with Civ 3. Thanks.

Well, I guess that depends on what genre it is - Sci-Fi, Fantasy, etc. I'll be happy to read it if you'd like.

I guess my stuff will fall into the realm of 'psycho thriller' or horror. stories about pyschopathic serial killers, people possessed, etc...

I will have to dig up some of my smaller stuff and post it.
