Thankyou

[stripy_tie]

I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who voted for my story "Bedtime" in the forum writers competition and said nice things about it.

It might have been booted out in the quarter finals but the fact that a few scraps of prose knocked together out of some notes in the back of my moleskine did so well has given me new confidence in my abilities and shown me ways I can improve.

:clap: Congos on getting to the quarters stripy - something none of my 5 drabbles managed (in fact only one made it out of the qualifiers as I couldn't be arsed to vote for any more!

Bang was excellent and I really liked The Stories Fade; I was surprised when Bang didn't go through.

Cheers everyone!

Well Done! :clap: :clap:

I'd like to add that I cannot explain how chuffed I am that people actually voted for my efforts! Thank you all!

And pooh!

An Absolutely Brilliant idea from a bear of very little brain!

 

[deldaisy]

Well done stripey.

I liked Bang too Pip.

I do hope we get to find out who wrote all the stories. I admit I didnt vote early on as I loved too many of them as much as each other. I look forward to rereading them with the authors name attached.

Brilliant stories.

You should all be congratulated.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Certainly should be giving everyone involved a pat on the back :dance: :clap: :dance:

Pip - I was appalled when Bang went out and as for Stories will fade - you woz robbed! :crying-blue:

 

[poohcarrot]

Loved Bang the bestest of all the stories. :clap: :clap:

Didn't understand Stories will fade.
