Why is there no discussion about the actual stories? Anyway, I voted for the Pokemon-story, because it´s such a ridiculous topic for an otherwise hearty story.

Btw. thx for not telling me about this contest. I think I would have submitted a story myself :( If there is another contest, tell me about it. Will submit the worst, most ridiculous fanfic-including story of the forever.

[Sapphire]

Thanks for voting! Please pick two stories, or your vote will have a lot more weight~~~

[MFauli]

Hm, looks like I can´t add a second vote. Anyway, I´d vote for "A Live Arm" then, reminded me of Cross Game :D

[Sapphire]

Okay! Thanks. Added it for you~

I guess I should also mention that I voted for "A Live Arm" after realizing we need to vote for two stories. Just saying in case anyone is wondering why there are only two voter names for that entry even though there are four votes for it (at this point in time).

A Live Arm - I like how the v3 is worse than the v1.
Melody of the Past - LOL Africa
The Mechanic - +1 vote because it's mechanically sound.
Firefly - Generiboring.
Jack - I nearly threw up while reading this. Not because there's anything gross about it -- that's just my body's natural reaction to shit writing.
Friendship - Jesus Christ, shoot me now.

I guess I'll have to go for the generiboring one and the mech one. Congrats, "authors". You have earned my eternal enmity.

[Sapphire]

Please vote for TWO stories, not ONE story people. TWO STORIES.

[Buffalobiian]

I liked all of them for various reasons.

In the end I went with the two that appealed to me most (in this case, it was topic and the sense of completeness/accomplishment).

Melody of the Past, followed by Friendship v3.

[Sapphire]

Just a few days left, peeps!

[Sapphire]

OHSHIT!!! Voting ends tomorrow!!!

[Ryllharu]

OSHIII...

Guess I better read them!

edit: Read and voted.

[Buffalobiian]

Any tie-breaker mechanisms in place? Looks like a tight race. xD

[Sapphire]

No four-way tie please....

[MFauli]

lol

:D

[Sapphire]

Disqualified Ani's vote because he never picked a second story. Doesn't really change results. We might have to look at a tie breaker round...
