Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 8:59pm EDT
Last I heard was popular and notorious, so I guessed Jamie. Or Beth. Or ANY freaking wombat. We're all pretty nefarious. Er, notorious.
Ken C. Oct 1, 2009, 8:59pm EDT
Can you believe it?
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 8:59pm EDT
Rand is making horse sounds. I didn't think the non-chocolate stuff took effet so fast.
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:00pm EDT

Jamie C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:01pm EDT
Pat S! Heh!
Sherrie Super Oct 1, 2009, 9:01pm EDT
At least the torture is less tortuous, with the page refreshing more quickly and all.
Ken C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:01pm EDT
Pat Shaw...
Judi F. Oct 1, 2009, 9:02pm EDT
W00t!!! And I got it right! I knew Pat wrote it!!!
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:04pm EDT
OK, how did you know it was me?? I seriously tried to disguise it!
Beaker (just Beaker) Oct 1, 2009, 9:01pm EDT
Not me!
Beaker (just Beaker) Oct 1, 2009, 9:02pm EDT
I mean I didn't write it or guess it.
Ken C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:01pm EDT
Okay, the natives are restless, so I should get going...

~Sia McKye~ Oct 1, 2009, 9:07pm EDT
Very well done Rand.
Beaker (just Beaker) Oct 1, 2009, 9:07pm EDT

Pat Bertram Oct 1, 2009, 9:09pm EDT
Congratulations, Wanda -- way cool!!!

Congratulations, Pat S. and Rand. Wow!
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:09pm EDT
YAY RAND!!!! Yeah, I knew the minute I saw that entry, I was a goner. Even my comment on that declared it a winner. TOTALLY deserving! And Ken, you get back here and tell us all the analysis on the voting patterns and such! And I want a word with you about that "notorious" comment!

And yes, fess up. What the devil did Vivian write??? I had her for everything!
Wanda H. Oct 1, 2009, 9:09pm EDT
Rand! Congrats for both story and covers, both excellent.
Beth H. Oct 1, 2009, 9:10pm EDT
I got the top 3 in the winning order. Do I get a prize for that?

Rand, you need to get all your manuscripts out right away. 'Cause it's obvious that we love your writing!
~Sia McKye~ Oct 1, 2009, 9:10pm EDT
66 comments. and we're making Ken do another thread if he uses this one up
Jamie C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:11pm EDT
Great contest, Ken! Thanks for all the work you did. Major congrats to all the winners.
Rand Phares Oct 1, 2009, 9:11pm EDT
Go Pat go Pat.
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:12pm EDT
Rand, you absolutely owned first place, as far as I was concerned. Ingenious. Devious. Well written. True wombat style!
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:11pm EDT
OK, fess up folks. Beth? Wendy? Dale? James??? What the heck did you write? Frankly, I wanted to give everyone 10, just to make the ACA more crazed than normal.
Beaker (just Beaker) Oct 1, 2009, 9:11pm EDT
I wrote the lost rose bowl....
Sherrie Super Oct 1, 2009, 9:13pm EDT
I loved that entry!
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:13pm EDT
Beaker, that was SOOOOO devious! Who knew you knew so much about shoes? Are you writing a chic-lit? 'Cause you should, you know.
Sherrie Super Oct 1, 2009, 9:14pm EDT
The waxing. The cross-dressing! Oh my!
Dale C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:16pm EDT
Great entry!!!
Jamie C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:17pm EDT
I gave you my 8, Beaker. You made me laugh my buttocks off.
Beaker (just Beaker) Oct 1, 2009, 9:20pm EDT
Yeah, I was trying to make it really silly, and also thought, y'know, the coliseum in L.A. as opposed to the one in Rome, and...like that. But I lost all of my italics along the way, so it looked kind of weird. Stoopid gather mail.
Vivian A. Oct 1, 2009, 10:06pm EDT
Bloody hysterical Beaker. I'd like to read the whole story.
Wendy C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:12pm EDT
I can always update the list tomorrow. If you don't want to tell me, fine, I'll just sulk off and watch Project Runway.
Sherrie Super Oct 1, 2009, 9:12pm EDT
Oh, and Rand, you got my 9 points too!

Oddly enough, my 10-vote wasn't on the winner's list this time around. It just goes to show, huh?

You know, every single entry was wonderful. There were no losers this time, no siree.
Wendy C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:13pm EDT
I'm updating the article as we discuss. Check up top to see what I wrote. crooked grin
Sherrie Super Oct 1, 2009, 9:20pm EDT
Oh man, that was such a wickedly clever entry, Wendy. The wordplay alone was amazing!
Rand Phares Oct 1, 2009, 9:13pm EDT
It took me this long to catch up.

Go me go me!

Glad y'all liked Larry and his sad situation.
~Sia McKye~ Oct 1, 2009, 9:30pm EDT
I loved Larry...
~Sia McKye~ Oct 1, 2009, 9:13pm EDT
I wouldn't have entered and wasn't going to except Pat badgered me. I didn't even think I would place.
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:15pm EDT
Aren't you glad I'm such a bad/good influence on you??? The important thing is, did you have fun??
~Sia McKye~ Oct 1, 2009, 9:29pm EDT
Yes, I'm glad you did and yes! I had fun with it. I was laughing as I wrote it. I loved the comment you made about who you knew that would know about climbing gloves, lolol!
Wanda H. Oct 1, 2009, 9:14pm EDT
I couldn't remember what I voted for at the last! Too many great stories and too few 10's.
Dale C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:14pm EDT
I wrote....
Wendy C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:14pm EDT
Beaker, I adored your entry.. it got a number far larger than 0.
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:14pm EDT
My 10 wasn't on the list either. Sherrie and I must have weird taste. And totally skew results. My 10 was Codex Principus. I loved the whole idea of secrets in the Book of Kells.
Judi F. Oct 1, 2009, 9:14pm EDT
Yay, Rand!!!!

Survivor Girls are here - gotta run!
Wanda H. Oct 1, 2009, 9:14pm EDT
I was pretty sure I wouldn't place either Sia. Everything was so terrific!
James R. Oct 1, 2009, 9:15pm EDT
I put a hint (obscure) about mine in a recent comment on my blog. I wrote Codex Principus.
Wendy C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:15pm EDT
prods Dale.
Beth H. Oct 1, 2009, 9:16pm EDT
I already confessed to mine. I really wrote Secrets No More. After all, he wasn't a monk.
Sherrie Super Oct 1, 2009, 9:17pm EDT
Oh, the fake albino! That was awesome!
James R. Oct 1, 2009, 9:18pm EDT
And I guessed that Rand wrote that one.
Pat S. Oct 1, 2009, 9:20pm EDT
I had RAND down for that one!
Jamie C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:21pm EDT
Hee hee, Beth. I had you in my top 5.
Beaker (just Beaker) Oct 1, 2009, 9:25pm EDT
I put that near the top, too. I guessed Pat wrote it, though.
Beth H. Oct 1, 2009, 9:32pm EDT
Jamie, I'll apologize for the line you didn't like. It wasn't in the original version, but when I had to cut 300 words, that was the only way to say it!
~Sia McKye~ Oct 1, 2009, 9:16pm EDT
Codex Principus was my 10 points
Dale C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:17pm EDT
Who Am I?
Jamie C. Oct 1, 2009, 9:20pm EDT
Never would have guessed that. Great job, Dale!
Rand Phares Oct 1, 2009, 9:20pm EDT
I wondered if there was a question mark.
