ReplyDeleteHow do you enter your vote? I checked the box, but do not see a way to submit my selection. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou must scroll all the way to the bottom, until you find the "DONE" button. ( It took a few times in my browser), click DONE, it should then accept your vote.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun contest!
ReplyDeleteI like the first liner: "We should slit her throat straight away. Why wait?"
ReplyDeleteBut, I don't see a "Done" button. Is there another way to vote?
I've head some people are having a problem seeing the "Done" button in Explorer, but they saw it when they switched to Chrome. So maybe try a different browser?
DeleteThank you for the contest. You guys are awesome, and there are so many talented writers around!
ReplyDeleteIt says Monday the 28th, but the 28th is Tuesday. When does it officially close? Thanks for a fun contest!!
ReplyDeleteOops! The voting form closes on Monday, to allow us time to contact the winners and get their second sentences for the next round of voting.

ReplyDeletewhat book is this from?
ReplyDelete"In a tall white tower covered by snow, in a tall white castle that sat atop a tall white mountain, Koschei the Immortal grew restless with loneliness."
The line is the opening to a currently unpublished manuscript by one of our entrants.
