The Poll for voting will open when I post it on Wednesday. 🙂
Everyone who reads ALL the stories for the week may vote.
PLEASE VOTE for your top TWO favorites (not two for the same, though!).
I think we could all use a little extra time to read the awesome stories so . . .
Vote by 10 PM PST on SATURDAY so I can announce the winner on SUNDAY! Thank you so much. I enjoy our weekly stories a great deal, and I hope you do, too!

I found voting particularly hard this week!
PS: after reading the comments, I’m starting to realize my entries aren’t as late as I think. 🙂

It’s only 8:15pm here, so you’re good! About this time of night, if I haven’t received posts from previous battlers I’ll start checking their blogs to make sure I haven’t missed it! I am finding I can’t rely on the ping back to show up in the little alerting thingy up in my WordPress bar, though, because yours is still not showing. My email is getting too full to quickly to keep track of most things there, but I do get your notfications! It’s an imperfect system, but we’ll make it work! 🙂

Lol, for me it is, haha! XD I’m too much of a perfectionist, going over the story again and again, and then before I know it time is up.

Haha that certainly is a strength and weakness wrapped into one.
