The Lodestar Contest

Are you here for the promised update? Because I am.

I have read everything, and I am so thankful to have had so many entertaining stories to read. Thank you, once again!

For some quick stats, we had fifteen total entries and all fifteen follow the guidelines, so no worries there. And here is how many contestants chose each prompt:


I'm not going to lie; when I think about it, I'm sad that there weren't any sci-fi stories with its prompt. That and the required detail for Paranormal were the two I had locked in first. I screwed the wording up on it, but I was really trying not to restrict it too much. I just didn't want stories with required androids. Notice my wording.

And also notice I said "when I think about it." Luckily, while I'm reading the entries the contest did receive I'm not thinking about the lack of a sci-fi story, because I am overjoyed to read the stories here. In fact, I believe I'll go do that again.

I'm still looking at having results posted by March 12th. If something keeps me from doing that, I'll let you all know via a post in this forum.
