The usual blurb, stolen from a previous contest:
Even when using PDFs as a useful lowest common denominator, there's still quite a variance in formatting, which I've tried to catch and correct. If you read your own entry and spot any errors, PM me and I'll correct ASAP.
As suggested elsewhere, consider making notes as you read each entry, maybe award star ratings for character, dialogue, setting, etc. Treat every entry as the winner -- until you read something better that pushes it further down your pick-list.
It's not gonna be easy, but once you pick your 1st, 2nd and 3rd top choices, PM or email these to me at dpaterson57 at gmail.com. I'd really appreciate receiving them in the format,
1st - title
2nd - title
3rd - title
Please don't vote for your own entry. If this were allowed, everyone would do it, so what's the point? It just clouds the voting.
If you don't like reading inside the scrollbox windows, try selecting Thread Tools > Show Printable Version.
Once votes are counted and winners announced, the results thread will be open for comments and discussion. Posting comments before the results are counted might influence voting, so I'd appreciate if you could hold off till then.
For posterity, the discussion thread preceding this thread is here. And the results thread is here.
