Ah, but nothing like having the mighty Nightbringer as your patron, eh? ;)

When you're as foolhardy sure of yourself as I am, you're sure to convince at least one other person of your presumed awesomeness!

It is awesome to see we have already got 12 voters to read the stories :)

only a 2 votes lead, so possibly not decided yet.

Grrr, Imrahil

I reckon you should read the fine print.

I did. It just seems to me that the winner is already clearly delineated here. More of a conversational point than a desire to end the contest ;)

Also, perhaps you can grace us with a review?

I just about managed to get my entry in before real-life exploded. I'll give it a shot though.
 
The winner by a wide margin is story one, congratulations to thedarkfourth!

Story One, "The Tale of Lizards and the Vermin" by @thedarkfourth

Story Two, "Throw Caution to the Wind" by @Imrahil

Story Three, "Murder Under the Nile" by @Lizards of Renown

Story Four, "Poisoned Water Supply" by Scalenex

Thank you to everyone who entered and/or voted!
 
So what have we learned so far:
  • Chaos Dwarf titled stories win!
  • @Bowser endorsed stories win!

Imagine if @Bowser endorsed a Chaos Dwarf titled store?! Or more intriguingly, what would happen if a Chaos Dwarf titled story was in a field where another story was endorsed by @Bowser?

I was wondering how I was winning, but now I know Killer Angel wasn't in the contest, it all makes sense!

All the other articles were fantastic, don't think I deserve it! To be fair to Bowser, I think he was equally nice about everyone, so I'm not sure I would call it an endorsement of a single entry. Wonderful to have you back, bane of plumbers!

I did endorse it first, then came back for more reviews, but in all honesty I think you deserved the win. Amazing job on this, and congrats on your well earned victory.
 
Congrats @thedarkfourth! A forum literary giant returns to his prime!

And I had a feeling that @Scalenex was the writer of the Westhammer story. Hard luck pal, but keep it coming, I always like to read a Westhammer story!

@Lizards of Renown I honestly thought yours was the best personally, I have a recurring mental image of David Suchet as a Skaven now thanks to you :p (though I was disappointed not to see Poirat's faithful assistant Captain Rastings and comrade Chief Inspector Snapp in the story - perhaps they will feature in a sequel!)
