Well folks the waiting is over. The
results are in for Cherie Reisch’s 2nd Annual Flash Fiction Contest.
Congratulations to the winners:
1st
Place – Scribbles from Jenn
2ND
Place – Medeia Sharif
3rd
Place – Geek Banter
Cherie took down the Linky List, so you
will have to go directly to the respective blogs to read the winning entries.
I had pretty much given up on the voting
around noon on Saturday and being resolved to a solid fourth place, stopped
checking back. This morning I was surprised to see that I had actually tied for
third place but in a karmic –handwriting on the wall – kind of way, randon.org
(the means Cherie used to break a tie) chose the other writer and their story.
It was an interesting exercise for me.
One in which I actually learned a lot about myself and my writing. Funny, how
some of these little things, can produce such big results. I want to thank
Cherie and tell her how important this opportunity has been.
I also want to thank everyone for the kind comments and your votes. I'm truly not as SHAMELESS as stated in my last post. More like completely self-conscious. Nothing like a little self-deprecating humor to hide your insecurities.

I thought your piece was excellent!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I love it when something small has huge results. Awesome. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would still consider coming in 3rd/4th out of 70+ entries still very respectable! You should look at this as a WIN! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, just between you and me (and anyone else who might happen to read this) -- out of the entries Cherie selected, I liked yours the best and voted for it.
ReplyDeleteyayay!
ReplyDeleteNITRO ~
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your Flash Fiction and it got my vote, as you know.
Hey, one mo' thang...
I got the Emails you sent and saw the comment you submitted. I am composing an Email right now which I should be sending in no more than an hour. Hopefully your computer will be able to receive it because it explains a number of things you have been wondering about but which I was previously unable to divulge.
Ahhh, the plot thickens (as the saying goes). Ha!
Yak Soon...

I think you did great! I would be proud to tie for 3rd.
ReplyDeleteYour flash fiction piece was wonderful! I'm sorry it came down to the randomness of Random.org, but I had to stick by my own rules.
ReplyDeleteI would like to offer a 10-page critique to you, though, for your third-place tie.
Congrats on placing, even if you didn't officially get the prize. Your piece was wonderful and you should be very proud of yourself! ;D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the tie--and for the courage to submit your work.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your entry. I think you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI above everyone else here.....
ReplyDeleteappreciates seeing your insecurities!!!
Not what you expected me to say, huh?
Not in an evil, glad you didn't win way, just always a good reminder to know you are human...not super women, or the easter bunny. Course, you are still the easter bunny..but that is another story all in all.
You did a wonderful job.
