I saw this earlier but did not have time to post, and was surprised to see no other nominations. Come on you lazy lot, you cant slope off yet its not time for Xmas dinner.

"Ghandi Khan The Wise" By bassman, I most definitely nominate this excellently written story. I posted a while back saying that we now have a contender for Ozwolf's crown, and I stand by that conviction.

Its also good to see that the wolf has returned.

"Frostbite The Vikings Tale" Another excellent story by our currently most productive writer on the forum SKILORD.

Thats it for now I want to see the rest of you pull your fingers out of your Christmas puds and get nominating!!

This is the first time I've had someone else nominate a story of mine for this.

Massive work is going into Manifest Destiny (The remake HBC story) it will win the next one.

Add 'Land of the Brave' to the running, if for no other reason than to provide another story to a famished contest.

I will second Land of the brave.

Darcloud I have two questions, can we renominate stories that were not seconded last time ?

And can we renominate stories that were seconded last time but did not make the finals ?

I would appreciate clarification on these points. I would support both points myself, but only if they are finished should they go into the finals !


EDIT, That could serve as framework for a compromise option as dicussed in the other unfinished story poll thread. I will post this there also.

And
In the past, no... I don't know right now- for now the answer is no- but after I review the new rules... and maybe after a vote on the rules? perhaps.

Definitely no.

And thank you to SKILORD for the Links!

I'd like to second Lycurgus' monster of a tale, in that case.

Also got to nominate "The Culture Flip" by Chingis Khan. So many great stories around at the moment and all of them finished!

Certainly dont need unfinished ones for this round, but never mind all that folks get out there and read these stories then come back and nominate or second them.

And most importantly GIVE FEEDBACK to the writers on their threads.

Basically write a story and if someone likes it they will nominate it for you, or you can nominate it yourself but preferably when finished .

I just want to say that Gandhi Khan KICKS @$$. I mean, it seriously rocks. Seriously, Bassman ought to do another one.
