And when does the General Public That Only Reads Stories And Does Not Write Them ( => me) get to read these, surely great, pieces of fiction?

well, the original thought was that we would have two first prize winners geting an autographed copy of the Centauri Dawn book - one from each side of the Atlantic. the entries are actually exactly like this. so unless the judges come out and say that an entry is total crap...

the original estimate was 10 days, but since there are only our two entries i figure they might be a little quicker...
it's been 5 days so far anyway by my estimation.

Fantastic, but if you do that JarJar Binks impression one more time your heart will be in the Highlands while your feet are in Bombay. (Goon joke - ask for more info.)

Just watch out for the timezones won't you - Britain can be finicky like that
Hope it won't be too too long - I swing back into exams on Monday (after a week's half-term break) and I won't have much time beyond then. I have exams almost every day for two weeks, so don't expect to see me online much.

This'll serve as a Bump and also to say, if any of you have been trying to email me, it hasn't been getting through. My family all use either Hotmail, Excite or Yahoo, so I had to give my Dad's old email (to which we no longer have access) instead. This means that anyone trying to email me through this won't get through. My actual email address is james_aldred@hotmail.com
And also, if I hear nothing by approx 21:00 BST tomorrow (Sunday) night I'm going to go ahead and post my story & its accompanying comments thread up here anyhow. I have exams starting Monday and continuing for a month, so the chances of me getting online are very very remote, except possibly at the weekends. The possibility of my parents banning me in favour of revision is quite a big one, and I do want to know what people think of my story.
