Wow!

"Spectral Evidence" just won the ChiZine Short Story Contest. Since I didn't even vaguely think I was going to place, this counts as a pretty (damn) good way to start the day...not least because judge Neil Gaiman had the deciding vote in a two-way tie.;)

cristalia: Congratulations. I seriously thought it would be you, and I really want to read "Deer's Heart" now. I apologize, but how amazing is it for both of us to finish that high out of 307 entries? Toronto rocks!

And now, I gotta go to work.

I hope Cal is well. Tell him I miss him, though I am sure he won't care...

Hee. I sorta did the happy high-five dance around the apartment at 2am when I got the e-mail, going: "Good Guys win!". I'm sooooooo glad. :D

I'll toss you "Deer's Heart" in .rtf if I can have "Spectral Evidence"... :)

Hey, congratulations. :) I'm looking forward to reading the story! (And, yes, you beat out mine. I knew it wasn't going to win, though. *grin*) I know what you mean about not expecting the story to place. When I got my email last year, I screamed so loudly my husband thought the cat had climbed me again.

*hands over the torch* Good for roasting marshmallows. *nods*

Susan, wot won in 2005
