The short fiction contest is closed…for now

You’ll have to wait until Monday to see who the winners are, as picked by the Jason Evans, the moderator. However, you can send Jason an email listing your top five reader picks, which he will then tally and use to award a “Reader’s Choice” entry. The link below takes you to the blog where he explains the process, and you can read through all the submissions.

For anyone who missed it, we were given this photograph:

And then had 250 words to write something relating to it. There were over 80 entries, all told, and so many different perspectives on a single image that it was staggering. Fantasy, science fiction, horror, romance, humor, memoir, westerns, surrealism…everything got in there at some point.

Obviously I can’t vote for myself, but I won’t have a hard time picking my choices among the many high quality short-shorts to be found among the entries. Let me know some of your favorites, and I’ll lob a few back at ya.

I see that smile.

    “but I won’t have a hard time picking my choices…”
    I would.
    Too many good ones.
    Yours was one.

    Thank you for the kind words, Bernita. I tried to keep up with the entries as they were posted, and a few have stuck in my mind. One that I’ll be voting for is #64, Vision Quest, by John Hammel, as I thought it was one of the funniest submitted.
