RESULTS--Haggis Must Die--Horror Fiction Contest and Discussion Thread
First, I'd like to thank all our participants. There were 21 of you who submitted a total of 23 sick and disgusting stories. I loved them all, and you're all winners in my book.
Second, I'd like to thank all the voters. There were 29 of you, so unless someone voted more than once (Rllgthunder?) at least 8 were non-participants. Given the number of entries, that represented a lot of serious reading. I really appreciate your support.
Third, I'd like to thank the jackbooted thugs in the mod room who graciously provided most of our prizes. Additional thanks go out to Cath for her lovely sig line thingies and to Poet for the use of his awesome contest spreadsheet. Finally, a shout out to Pat (with a squiggle) whose announcement format I have blatantly ripped off and used for my own nefarious purposes. Thank you all.
Here are our killers:
3rd place: TIE!
for entry # 10, Haggis Must Die!, by Kerr (12 points)
and
for entry # 13, Dead Haggises Tell no Tales, by Rhymegirl (12 points)
Kerr and Rhymegirl will arm wrestle at high noon to determine who gets the prize.
2nd place:
