Here are the results and the author names reveal, TA-DAH!
Congrats to Jai for grabbing most votes with Comatose
Thanks also to LMPurves for taking time to read and vote!
1st place votes = 3 points, 2nd = 2, 3rd = 1.
I had a column for a "ghost town" bonus but if seemed that all the entries had elements that could be taken as meeting the theme, trying to split hairs would be pointless (no pun) so I took the column out. Everyone voted, so no need to award a voting bonus to counterbalance those who didn't, so that column got removed also.
If you're disappointed because you didn't score higher -- don't be, you've just had practice to writing to theme and deadline, which is what these contests are all about. Also, a different set of readers might well produce a completely different set of results. So it doesn't mean your script was crap, it just means other scripts stole your votes!
Thanks for participating, hope you had fun. Feel free to discuss the entries and post comments, if you have 'em, in this thread.
For posterity, the contest discussion thread is here and the entries thread is here.
