SORRY for the delay, guys! Chester was away and I needed him to run me through the ropes.

Awesomeness abound. Chester and Bekka make for a deadly team.

Though, I feel compelled to point out, there is an error in the title of my flash up there. Not a major error but still. Haha, I cannot be more specific due to the anonymous nature of those selections.

Well done, everybody! Everyone's story had flashes of brilliance, but one was a clear cut winner. Congrats again to everybody!

I think I'm super awesome for resisting the urge to vote for myself. When does the voting end?

I think Rebecca set the poll up for seven days? Didn't you Rebecca?

@Spectre: I am trying to resist the urge to spend the prize money on a pile of coke.

Do we not know who wrote what until later? I remember reading a couple of these in another thread and all, but I didn't really participate. Came in to vote at the last second here because I felt like a cad for not doing so.

Great stories everyone. I really enjoyed the entire heap.

I will ask Rebecca to edit the names back in.

Congratulations to Rach122 on a superb, wonderfully-prosed story: Daddy's Girl. It is becoming clear that you are going to be doing wonderful things.

Pm me here or FB with your address and I will get your dough in the mail.

And thank you to Rebecca for being a wonderful judge.

But I would really like to think everyone who wrote stories and everyone who voted. We cannot do this without you.

Now, for July: See Flash Me! Main thread.

I wish I'd given it a shot. Nicely done, I very much enjoyed your story. And you only had 1 punctuational/typo issue that I noticed (believe it was a missing opening quotation mark), which gave you extra points in my book.

Thanks, Stacy.  Before the poll opened I was already set on not voting for myself. I thought I'd abstain altogether but a tie emerged and I pulled the lever.
