I’d love to this, but sadly I’m not too good at first-person. Anything longer than two sentences and I’m into third person, usually.

sound like fun!

Fyora, I’d like to encourage you to give it a try! One of the things I like about Ficlets is the opportunity to stretch myself in new ways. :-)

I have a stupid question, being semi-new still to ficlets so please don’t laugh at me :) but I’ve seen a lot of comments signed with ‘LoA’ – what’s that an acronym for? Told you it was stupid.

Topic? Great challenge. I can’t wait to try it.

Ahh, you speak of that which must not be spoken of, a secret society, if you will… just kidding, it’s not so secret, but it is a “society.” It’s the League of Awesomeness! I was puzzled too until I did some digging and found out that anybody can join. So I joined, a couple days ago. I hope I don’t get my membership revoked for talking about it in public! ;-) Check out TXH 0477 ’s biography text for more info…

OOoooohhhhhhHHhhh. Duh. I feel silly now because I had already seen his bio. I just didn’t grok the initials. sigh Thanks for the explanation and I hope you don’t get booted too :)

ooo, participating…………..NOW! :::runs off to go write::::

Heehee, my mysteriously placing LoA all over the place is starting to pay off. I’m so devious, aren’t I? And another challenge, uselessness? Stupendous! I love how these things draw people out and get them to try new things and think it different ways, responding creatively to someone else’s idea. Woohoo! Long live awesomeness!

Oh, and I don’t think I’ll be revoking anyone’s membership in the League. That would be very not awesome.

LoA

I’ll try.

If I only had my own Internet . . .

I intend to get it; it’s on a list somewhere.

This is a pretty convenient challenge for me, seeing as I conversations in my head with myself.

But maybe everybody doesn’t need to know what I’m thinking…

hm… im definitely interested in seeing your entry….

Haha, I guess I have to write one now, don’t I? ;-)
LoA

haha, I think I shall do this…

I GET IT !!!
the LoA at the end of every comment is part of a secret underground cult caled the League of Awesomeness….
hmm….scratches chinhmmm indeed….

Shh, llama, we’re not supposed to talk about it! ;-)
In other news, I am now officially judging the entries to this challenge. I hope to get them all done tonight; if I can’t, I’ll finish up tomorrow. Either way, I’ll post the results here afterwards. Thanks to everyone who participated! You guys are great!
LoA

okay,
I am definitely doing this one.
First person is my thing =]

i can’t wait for the results!

Oh yes, unfortunately I’m having an unexpectedly busy week (grown-up responsibility and all that) and the judging keeps getting delayed. I’ll post here as soon as I can get all the stories read and decide on my favorites… on the bright side, it gave SpontaniousCombustion a chance to enter after the “deadline,” and the same goes for anyone else who wants to contribute at the last minute! :-)
LoA

I am sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. You see, I had no idea this challenge would generate so many entries, and I had a very difficult time motivating myself to read through them all and pick my favorites. But I’ve finally done it.
And so, without further ado, my picks!
Third place goes to… Theseus Had It Easy, by Russell Ruffino!
Second place goes to… Random Thoughts, by Melia!
And first place goes to… Through the Cage, by pie_is_good!
Thanks to everyone, and congratulations to our winners!

Neat! Thanks uselessness! I’m all kinds of chuffed :) Congrats to all – it was fun reading everyone’s ficlets in this challenge.

Thanks for 3rd place, not bad considering the amount of entries.

Coongrats Melia and Pie, and indeed everyone who entered.

Thanks so much for the first place!! :)
