Entries posted. There was a slight, ah...edit to the title of Entry Two, Lovecraft Conference. Tampering with the integrity of the Arena, Kwan? And last Arena might have been the year of assassin stories, there's definitely a sci-fi vibe going on this year. I think nearly half of the stories so far have had a sci-fi element. |

Sci-fi with the first round being heavily detective. Yet to read this lot. When do votes need to be in?

Probably has something to do with the introductions. Most of them have lent themselves strongly to sci-fi or pulpy stories. Sci-fi with the first round being heavily detective. Yet to read this lot.

And remember, you can still review and vote even if you're out of the competition. I'm hoping with fewer entries, we might have a few more reviews. Even if people only review one match.

Well, I've read all the entries. I think I'm going to let them stew in my mind though before I start reviewing.

Hmmm interesting results. Loved the Chip Mannington ones. You can tell the writers had a lot of fun. The stage ones were well done and I liked how they went in such different directions. Shame about the Heinlein match. I think that beginning could have gone so many ways. It's too bad we only get to see one.  Also, Reffy, I'll be damned if I can pinpoint you in this so...you've either tricked us all or have done a fabulous job writing in a different way than usual. Awesome either way! |

Very hard to pick. |

Sorry, Agro >.> I should have looked at the schedule posty. Thanks for posting it anyway :] At least it'll serve as a good reminder for everybody else as well. Reviewing this one is going to be ... tricky. They're all so very good and I have the least amount of time on Mondays and Tuesdays to read anything!
Looks like it's going to be "lappy to work" again on one of those days >.<
