That was a heart-wrenching decision. All five were excellent and worthy of making the top 5.
I went round and round settling on the first 3, and went with Time Machine, because I have a thing for a well crafted time travel story.
Congrats on making the finals, Pheno. Well deserved, as were the rest.

If Freeforums works the way a lot of other forums do, it may not be possible to change the text in the vote thingy without resetting the votes that already happened. D: Really annoying.munsi wrote:hey, i got nominated! well that's thrilling. oh, and my last name is Munroe, not Monroe

Re: "Best Drabble" Finals Vote Here!
None of these drabbles are losers, Munsi. One of the will be number 1, though. Yes, ABM did kick ass. So much so that I had to bump my own in round one because I realized I had let it slip my mind.munsi wrote:aw, man, i'm losing! ah well, at least the story beating mine is really kickass
If you are gonna get beat, get beat by a great drabble, not beaten senseless and left with ringing ears.
