Quote by AtticusAbbey
I was an "almost" competitor.
Al, that means you could have "almost" won! 😳

A slight flaw in your calculations, there, Scott. 14 entries. 🙄🤣

Hey, Jim! Did you FALL asleep? If you FELL asleep, that would explain why you FELT tired and missed the game moving on. Not to worry. 😴😊

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I am elated to have my story acknowledged and appreciated. And I would not have wanted to be a judge in this competition – all of the stories were remarkable!
Is it really necessary that there always be a fight over judging?
Violet's story was extraordinary, and she has continually grown as a writer – and for that, I rejoice.
But that throws no shade on any other author who entered. It was an astonishing array of talent on display.
Sorry, James, but I think you misunderstood the problem. There was no complaint from anyone regarding the judging or the results. You need to scroll further back to see the cause of the issue.

Don't let the above take the gloss off the stupendous achievement. Ping is right, this is a writer's victory, simply because you are a fabulous writer.
You are absolutely right, Annie, however, you have stated such in a far less offensive way. As I said, the above is not a reflection on Violet's achievement but on Ping's attitude to the other writers here. He could have easily corrected his post but chose instead, to launch a wholly unnecessary attack.

Actually, Ping, what I would really like is for you to shut your mouth. I am quite sick of the crap that constantly flows from it! This is not about me but about all the other members here who have to listen to the constant rot that flows from between your lips. Maybe if you weren't so self-absorbed, you might realise that you are a major part of the problem here!
Unfortunately, being immature is the perfect description of your attitude. Don't apologise to Violet on my behalf, this is not about her but about you.
Obviously, my understanding of your original statement was correct.

And there it is. Your apology is accepted.
You can deal with admin now.
Really? How sad. If only you had just explained yourself instead of launching into a tirade of abuse. But then, that is you, isn't it?

A writer's victory for sure. Spectacular story. Uncompromising. Stupendously creative. Absolutely, positively deserving of the top spot.

"A writer's victory for sure" is a good way to put it Pingu.
I am a little confused by these statements. While I agree that Violet is a worthy winner, are you both saying that the rest of us are not good writers? That Violet is the only good writer among us? If so, then I am highly insulted. 😲
My genuine congrats, Violet. Yes, you did deserve it. Congrats to the runners up, also and to the rest of the top ten. None of the stories was bad and all deserve to be recognised for the fine works that they were. Well done to you all.
