All votes so far recieved. I make it nine which isn't too bad. I'll go with a straight forward majority vote but we might still need another round, else just go with an extra challenge, we'll see how it pans out.

Well its good to see the votes roll in, perhaps the forum isn't dead after all

Ok looks like everyone's voted that normally does or wants to and so I declare this vote over.

It was, as you might expect, very tight because although there is some crap there are also some decent enough challenges that didn't quite make it before. In fact its so tight that we are after all going to have three official challenges for the first part of the FMS year, but thats not nessecarily a bad thing as it gives more choice and hopefully something of the three will be able to inspire new and old writers alike.

Now, I have no idea who the author's were for these challenges and so I will leave those blank. Raptor might know, but if he doesn't then any awards gained by these automatically revert to me. Its only fair, I don't have that many.

Ok so the clear winner with five votes was:

7. The Islands Challenge

Two runners up on four votes were:

2. The Freedom Challenge

and, to fit in with the festive season,

10a. Uncle Scrooge

Threads will be posted, this may be unstickied. Thanks to all who took the time to vote and to those who took the time to submit entries that were not used, rest assured I have these on file and they will go into the hat next time!

Of course as I don't know the authors, there wont be a log unless someone claims them!
