And I am very grateful for that :) :)
Your vote made me guess that A Promise of Hope was yours ;)

Congratulations with yet another win.
One vote for five stories is still the most unfortunate to work with.
At least all stories ended in the top three :D

Grrr, !mrahil

Then @J.Logan and @Llinyn Tathrenlir should be made aware that I will automatically vote for any story that makes mention of the Chaos Dwarfs (unless another rival story makes a greater mention of them, in which case they get the vote). Additionally, I'll campaign to have others vote for it as well.

For the record, stories containing a Chaos Dwarfs mention hold a nearly perfect undefeated record.

Maybe next time then. :p

Trivia for my entry:

This marks the first time I've ever deliberately written with American-English spelling, ever. And the first used double quotation marks for dialogue since I was a acne-ridden teenager. I figured it would help with anonymity. I probably needn't have bothered, but I figured it would be interesting to test if I can, not whether I should.

I am reminded that I can wattle on when writing. There were at least two scenes that had to be cut for the sake of keeping in the word limit. Nothing was lost for their absence, but it is a reminder that when writing I can waffle on and turn what better writers would manage in 5000 words into a 10000 word chapter. Nice to be confronted with my weaknesses. Now I shall mark those weaknesses down in the book to be remembered until a reckoning shall come.

Wait... that's Dawi, not lizards...

When I first started writing stories for this place, I included elements of British-English spelling simply because I thought it would make my writing sound fancier. Now after a lot more years of writing experience under my belt, I can safely say AMERICAN is best. (i'm an american btw)

Spawning and Bob and I had a running gag of razzing each other for using the wrong spelling whenever British and American English differed.

When I parodied his work, I made sure to use British English.
 
Any idea when the next writing contest will start?

Oh, right! I must find a new theme... :p

Fingers crossed that it's a theme that instantly fills my head with possibilities and not a theme that makes me struggle to write anything that fits with it.

I will give you the judgemental stare if you fail to live up to my very absolutely realistic expectations. I'm told I'm good at those. o_O
