Re: October NTC Voting and comments I think they were both great stories and I hope that they both win. NOT POSSIBLE but You Pastor Rick may have to be the deciding vote since they are both so GOOD.
To both writers I think you have done a fantastic job!!!
Re: October NTC Voting and comments One thing I noticed was that both authors seemed to have run into trouble creating a fictional story inside the 250 word limit. By this I mean that after setting up the basic premise for the characters they had little room to develope a appropriate ending. Because of this the November challenge raises the word limit to 333 words . This will give authors equal space to develope thier premise, action, ending sections to the story.
Re: October NTC Voting and comments Tie breakers eh...
OK, if the vote is a tie then the first tie breaker will be the story that comes closest to the word count specified (for October that is 250 words but for November that is 333 words) without going over. That's the only tiebreaker that doesn't require my vote
