Of the two very different styles, I'd usually chose something like Bones, preferring that kind of genre. Surprisingly I was more drawn to Emergency Exit. Both are well written and really left me wanting to read more. I found EE stuck in my mind more though. Two great stories.

The vote count hasn't changed for two days! What, do you people have lives or something? I don't care so much. Vote!

It makes it more fun for everyone! 

Yay!

I know, right?!?! We're all writers here, so none of us actually has real lives. C'mon, be honest...

Hey, MES, have you voted yet?

I voted and it was close! I could elaborate but I kind of think that taints the jury. I'm one of the people who hates spoilers and people who keep talking when they think they are not spoiling. Because usually I have a brain and it works and it's hard to keep from putting the pieces together.

Totally. This world has had enoug tainted juries already.

LOL. I think we're moving toward a culture where anything not Supreme Court- or terrorist-related will be televised. But that is a topic for a different thread! And one I would probably mostly stay out of. :)

I would've put up a funny bump pic, but we're moving today, so you beat me to it, Sound.

The last battle I was in had 20 votes, this one is... not... doing so well. What gives, people? Victory is empty when it isn't decisive. It's like a tee-ball game where the parents don't keep score - how do you know who wins???

You're getting about as many votes as Matt and I did. The audience participation has definately dropped off a bit.

Sorry it took me so long, we've been moving the last three days.

Great job, Sound! The vote was so close we'll absolutely HAVE TO have a rematch.

I've only read one Photon Story but I've read about a dozen or so of Sounds, so I picked his out and then knew yours by default. But yours did remind me a bit of your story from the battle agains Moon with the bonzai trees as well.

Makes perfect sense. I like to think I have a relatively consistent voice, but chances are, it's more like I have only one style of story.
