I voted! But I'm not allowed to tell you for which one. Hint: it was good.

There were two that stood out for me but were so vastly different it'd be hard to point to one as a favorite. Good job everybody.

Not so easy to vote for. I had four stories competing for number one pick.

That's it, all seven of you - we're going out for pizza!... or lobster... or some kind of sea creature that has a stuffed-crust shell. Either way, I'm honored to have received your votes :)

Three were my absolute favorites here but I really enjoyed the whole round. Great job to all. Gordon, Jeff, and Dufre, I will be joining you all in the pit.

My three favorites were

Just Add Water, Lost and Found, and Moonwalker. I almost needed a three sided coin to make the decision but I had to go with Just Add Water and am honored to have been knocked down to the pit by an amazing story and Awesome opponent.

Good Luck everyone.

No contest that Ysbryda was my favorite. A very dense story that reminded me of those old adventure epic movies in a King Kong/Black Lagoon/Indie Jones sort of way. Also quite liked Remember, iirc.

That man knows what he's talking about. Thanks! It was an experiment for me, as I've never written in the genre before. That's why I love these prompts.
