How come I haven't seen this before today but the posting says Monday?


Stories.

Doc Troll's is quite good. Like the touch on the weirdness of having Clone.

Violette's is supersweet on icecream baby! Way cool internal musings, interaction, and all that. Love how her 'just a day' turned into so much more.

Preston's was pretty nice too. Tension, weariness, and just general pissed off copness all around.

Love the dancer one. Can't remember the name off my noggintop. Very cool. Verrah kewl.

Sydney and GFB's seemed kind of clipped. Artificially short.

Endeavor's was pretty good, jut honestly not my style.

Vixen's was good. But longer than a day? I liked the presentation. Kind of just short flashes of someones day. Breaks up the flow, but in a nice way.

Okay, I confess, mine as 'Codex' sucks. I should've done it in a better way. Thanks for saying that 'Dance' was good though, Prodigy.

Violette's is great.

Signy/GFB's suffer from her usual problems - shortness, poor grammar and spelling. I know it sounds awful to repeatedly bring it up, but I don't know if she is dyslexic or if English is a second language.

Preston's is as good as Violette's.

There were a few technical difficulties working out the "senior" member bit. I originally posted this thread and the poll to pick the winner of the contest, but I had some concerns and closed the forum until I could guarantee everything performed properly. The poll had a time limit on it, so I deleted it so that I can start it fresh this weekend.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I wanted to add this and didn't think it needed it's own topic. If you are curious, "senior" member means that you have over 50 posts and have visited the site fairly recently. This means that there will be a lot less votes, as lurkers of the site can't vote. The reason I did it that was is that the results can't be fixxed by someone making dummy profiles to vote. And since there will be so few voters, each person's vote is extremely important.

Dude, you own the place. By definition you can't hijack it. But, thanks for the explanation.


I'm senior eh? You couldn't just say 'veteran' or something? I mean, not like I feel old or anything.

Can't claim to GFB's, but Sydney's story was never completed. I suddenly got inundated with stuff, and never completed the main section. Those two were supposed to be the intro to the next section, which was going to be a standard mystery story.

I'll complete it later...

Lemmy, I'm what you'd call the one with the highest "Workrate". I'm not senior by any stretch of imagination. Neither are you. Of course with I and Jager holding everybody down, you gotta get your ranks where you can. ~.^ (Just had to slip some wrestling references in... shoot me now please.)

It was so short for two reasons.One good,and one bad.The reason it ended there,was because it was close third person story,and being knocked out removes your input of the world around you.The other is that I need a new keyboard,(space bar is messed up)and haven't gotten off my lazy ass to get one.I am sorry for taking so long to awnser.I'm blind?
