Here we go, unfortunately real life bit a couple of folks who intended to vote, que sera. The voting went like:
Join me in offering congrats to StoryWriter for attracting most points with 1001 Valentine Days, and to Concar for coming a close second with Beyond The Grave. And Bioprofessor just a couple of votes behind them.
Thanks also to jmpowell7 and Mark Somers for taking time to read and vote.
And indeed thanks to everyone who entered, many fun reads here, good to see many different takes on the V.D. theme.
Just because your entry didn't score as high as you hoped, doesn't mean it didn't deserve to, a different group of readers might have delivered entirely different results. You score virtual points for writing to theme and deadline. It's all about the practice.
Key: 1st place = 3 points, 2nd = 2 points, 3rd = 1 point. The 3-point voting bonus kicks in whenever contestants don't deliver votes, to make up for the fact they may have received votes but didn't give votes back. Trust me it all makes sense.
Shout if any problems with the arithmetic or whatever, I'm not infallible.
For posterity, the discussion thread is here and the entries thread is here.
