These are my votes, I hope this is in an acceptable format Pooh.
It's acceptable, but a bit of a pain to count.

Group D

1. Internet Dating
2. The Stories Fade

Yo Stripy! Can you vote for Group D again please? There isn't a story called "Internet Dating" in Group D. :think:

Threre WAS a story called Internet Dating, but it got booted out last round. :think:

It's included as number 2 out of the 4 in Group D in the Microsoft word document in your sig, which is what I picked my selections from. What's meant to be there instead then?

Someone else did the document in my signature and I haven't looked at it. So it's my fault for not checking. Sorry!

This is the actual group.
GROUP D
1. Hard Decisions
2. Swear
3. Stories Fade
4. Change The World

If it's Swear, that's on page 5 of this thread.

GROUP D ERROR

If anyone based their votes for Group D on the link in my signature to the document, you are allowed to change your votes because one of the stories was not the correct one.

"Internet Dating" was not the correct story, it should have been "Swear."

I'll believe you Batty :whistle:

Cheeky, Blighter! :naughty:
If you check my votes you'll find I actually voted for it!

GROUP A
2. 100 Universal (9)

I actually copied and pasted every qualifying story to a word document, and then read them all and voted. Took me ages, it did! ... But I am soooooooooooo dedicated and conscientious .... :whistle:

 

[poohcarrot]

This link takes you to the Drabble Double Century Book - at 59 quid on Amazon!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_nos ... &x=16&y=23

If you go direct to the publishers of the book, you can get it for a fiver.
I've just ordered three copies for the winners.
I'm going to deface them by writing in them, signing them, then sending them to the three winners. :dance:

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

The Word doc now has Swear in it's rightful place and Group D's layout has been adjusted so The Puzzle is now viewable in all its glory...

Just can't get decent proof-readers/editorial done these days - I wouldn't mind but I'm leaving a paying web design job to do this muttermumblemutter.... :angry-chillpill:

 

[poohcarrot]

Um....er......not much happening, is there? :whistle: (Twiddles thumbs, whistles) :whistle: Wonder where DaveC's got to? :whistle:

I think I'll bore you with some statistics soon. :dance:

RACONTEURS REWRITE RECORDS!
The truth shall make ye fret

I thought this thread might be quite popular, but the response has been absolutely staggering and has smashed all records for any thread on this forum. :clap: :clap:
When you consider that it got shunted to the backwaters of the Non-Discworld section of the forum, it makes the following figures seem even more amazing. :dance:

(Approx figures)

In a mere 20 days, there have been 3,000 views, 300 posts, 50 stories from the three corners of the world (none from the US ), 6 different countries, and 20 pages. :clap: :clap:

So that averages out at 150 views/day, 15 posts/day, 1 page/day, 2.5 stories/day. :clap: :clap:

There have been a total of 3,792 different threads ever on this forum, yet there has never been another thread like this one, and probably never will be again (until next year's competition ).

So a big hand to everyone for making this thread possibly the most popular thread ever on this forum. :clap: :clap:

Am I right in assuming that only those who have entered stories are actually voting?

...plus mC. And I'm sure mC's love and devotion for Sjoerd is in no way influencing her votes in the slightest.

It's been put in the Broken Drum too, but people there are too busy moaning about how life has done them wrong, to bother to read and vote on these stories.

Might be worth dragging some in for the knockout stages
