On a forum not dedicated to writing, that's about right.
Congratulations Bigpants for winning!
It was a great little contest. Yeah, people didn't post much, but it was still nice that it did turn out. And congratulations for everyone who entered--it takes a lot of courage to write anything, even more to post it.

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't vote in the end. Nevertheless, congratulations, Bigpants! Your story sure is something, it deserves the votes it got.

I was going to vote, but didn't get time to read all the entries.
Quadruple Pound Punk just confused me and Arthur was odd. I preferred A Simple Cog (no offense to Bigpants or MekanikDestructiwKommando intended).
Then again, they were the only three I read.

WOW!!!
Higher interest be damned, I am truly honoured!
Many thanks go to my editor (and friend) Peter Luyt,
without whom my story would have made even less sense.
We both liked the first half.
As for the second half... ummmm...
My favourite story was "Earthblades Don't Mourn for Burnmules".
I don't fully understand what happened,
which is probably why it keeps sticking.
This competition taught me that "future" makes a fantastic addition to any sentence.
i.e. His future coffee needed more future sugar cubes.
i.e. While future jogging, he future sweated.

There have always been interactive experiences that go beyond entertainment. For example, if mafia games are too fun for you, then you can always join the mafia. |

Hey, 0 votes for me!
And I voted.
But not for myself.
Obviously.
Clearly 1000 words is not enough to contain a story like this. I will commense to writing the novel.

Some stories fit in a short word count, others don't. I happened to be learning how to write short stuff (<1000 words) lately so the contest fit out well, but my current steampunk novel is still at 80k words.
