Story contest is over, my friend. Did you not check the Results Page on OFB? And the reason alot of "good" stories have not shown on there is the lack of feedback on them in the past. Ask anyone in here about a story, and you'd get 10000000 responses (thats a compliment to you guys), but alot of them aren't here and they rely on direct feedback to them (hence why they include an e-mail) and not alot of people utilize it. I do, as I'm sure there are a few others on this site that do. But believe me, as an avid fiction writer (I try to do something once a week) I know the frustrations on seeing the views but never getting any feedback. The true dedicated writers are the ones that continue in spite of such. The ones that are just doing it for one are the ones that will alot of times go for other green pastures.

Buddy, I'm gonna read your story tomorrow and let you know what I think of it. From seeing others on here, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

One last thing, did anyone else really love The Game (i believe that was the title) where it was the Jumanji type BE game? Has a follow up ever been written by the author or anyone else? I think out of all the stories, that one was my favorite by far. I know on Choose Your Own Change website they have a story line that goes that route, but I'd rather read a full story like it instead of a choose-your-own-adventure. I remember reading The Game back when MarkT's Story Archive was still active on the BEA and now that its long dead (as is my own writing gallery on the BEA) I rely on the OFB, which like many of you have said, has gotten kinda.. meh as of late.

<i>Edit: I just realized this post puts me out of 'lurker' mode. Heh I guess I don't have much to say about art but when it comes to writing, a passion in which I love very much, I'll open up to ya.</i>
