Long over-due, I know, but if it's not painfully obvious by now that I do things in my own time and in my own way... Winners! Everybody wants to be one. Everybody hates them, secretly despises them, and begrudges them their success. That's beside the point though. *Fantastic Fun with Fruit* goes to The Mysterious Case of the Invisible Strawberries by Russell Rufino cause it was hilarious. I love funny! *Inventive Dialog Trickery* goes to Me: Blank by Someday_93, cause I usually don't like the script style of presenting dialog in a story, but she used it very effective in this piece. *Topical Twister* goes to Duct Tape and Plastic by Jenunique for a great take on the challenge and excellent use of writing to point out the folly of society, an important role of art. *Great and Terrible Winner!* goes to Dinosaur Dilemma by Ridcully Calvert for being entertaining, well presented, imaginative, pseudo-science and a spot-on answer to the challenge pseudo-criteria. Thanks to all who entered! 2008-04-29T17:54:30Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/28533 <p>awesome! =]</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28533?basename=59483 2008-04-29T17:54:30Z someday_93 http://ficlets.com/authors/someday_93 <p>Wowsers! I almost didn&#8217;t enter this challenge, think I read through the briefing about 4 or 5 times without coming up with any decent ideas. Glad I persevered. Being one of the four winners in a challenge you&#8217;ve presided over has made me rather chuffed. Thanks.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28533?basename=59156 2008-04-27T20:37:47Z Russell Ruffino http://ficlets.com/authors/ruffino <p>Thanks soooo so much for giving me something to brag about.
