The table above seems to indicate a different winner than announced. Is the math faulty or the winning name incorrect? Hmmm, the math checks. What's Up..Who's the winner? I'd like to congratulate him/her.

I can't speak for the other judges, but my numbers are assigned completely wrong. It should be ireland_faerie - 4.7; rocklee11416 - 3.6; xvoorheesx - 4.1 and Jeremy D - 3.2.

You can verify by seeing the comments I left on each story on 9/15/08.

I meant the comments I left on each story on 9/12/08.

Hey...somebody fess up to changing the table since I saw it 15 hours ago, please. Otherwise, I look like a complete idiot and so does Wolfram, who's numbers now match what he voted but not what was reflected earlier. In the meantime, I feel secure in congratulating ireland - faerie. Thanks.

Hey guys!
The admin/programmer is the one who initially posted the incorrect table and then fixed his error. Sorry about this confusion! The table that is currently listed is correct.

Thanks for the correction. Notwithstanding the above, however, I may still be a complete idiot. Just ask my wife.

xvorheesx, you took the words from my mouth...

I'm sitting here with this tremendous masterpiece, and now I have a week to wait? I quote Amadeus from "Amadeus,": I can't improve what's perfect!?!" Right. Okay so It's not a masterpiece, but it's ready to comPete!

ok, I just joined and need to get up to speed quickly. Sorry if this is redundant, but in the current contest am I to read the chapter for contest #8 and continue from there with my own idea, and how do I submit that? I found "new story" but not "contest entry" sorry if my tech, abilities are lacking. Thanks

StacieL...Welcome to SM! This contest story is long and relatively complicated. To answer your question, you should read all of the previous winning chapters and then write your own chapter that continues the story and enter that into the contest. This chapter is the next to last chapter so you'll need to finish your chapter in order to lead in to a resounding finish. Good luck!!

Oh, I forgot...Go to the story "TSNK 8: The End is Near" by ireland-faerie. At the end of the story is a block "Write Next Chapter". Punch that button and copy/paste your story in the box. That will get it entered into the contest..;o)

Now we are in round ten, right?
Do we pick any of the stories to add to
or is there just one in the contest?

Hi there!
Simply go to the "Contest" page and catch up on the nine chapters that make up the story. Then, if you want to enter round ten, simply mash the ninth chapter (http://storymash.com/u/Aggeloi/verinihu/) and you are done! The top ten ranked chapters will then be eligible to win, and our judges will announce the winner when the contest is completed.
