Yeah I found The Man in the Garden Swing to be the most coherent. It was well written, fully realised, and absorbing. Honorable mention to The Patient. I liked the general mood and the twist. It just felt a little under-developed. I also liked Fear of Flying but I felt there were too many coincidences to suspend my disbelief. Maybe if the encounter with the ex was a fantasy sequence? I felt otherwise it was a little too convenient.

Oooooh these are all so good! I'm impressed! I know which one I wrote (noone's guessed it yet) and I'm trying to figure out who wrote the others...

Only 5 people have voted! I'm a bit disappointed! Come on people, I wrote you something!

don't expect any much more than that. The voter turnout isn't usually high. There may end up only be 8 total votes.

I'm abstaining from voting because I wrote one of the pieces. I wish we had've kept all the authors a secret until the very end though. I'm looking at you, wolvey!

I'm curious who wrote the other three stories. Well two since I know which one I wrote.

Oooh I didn't even know this happened while I was away, very nice to see someone carried it on!

Wish someone wrote a story on Anal Beads...

Yeah I think Satchmo attempted to do one also but never posted the results. He just collected the different works.
