edonil Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Holy crap stories! I don't think we've ever had an Iron Quill this big, and it's awesome! Excellent work everyone, excited to see so many authors, new and old! Especially excited to see so many people who were saying they hadn't written in some time, that's one of the reasons I started this contest all the way back when. Give yourselves a round of applause everyone- you finished your stories! \o/ Now, onto the voting process. Old guard, I'm changing up the wording for ease of reading, but it's the same thing as it's always been. You guys know what to do, although please do check the note in green. This poll is open to everyone. Please vote! We've got some great stories to share, and the writers have done some great work. Please comment as well, we all love to hear from readers! The winner will be announced November 3rd, 2014. Authors: Send me a Private Message with your selection of the top three stories, ranked in order. Please include the author name and title of the story, it makes my life so much easier. These will be a weighted score for selecting the winner of the round when I do up the math. Please note: You cannot pick yourself for your top three. If you have issues sending me a PM, post in here and we'll figure out alternative arrangements. Also, feel free to vote in the poll just like everyone else! And now, onto our stories!

No Gods or Kings. Only Man Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've gotta admit, I loved everyone's stories. There was not one story that could be brushed aside when considering the votes, and there is no story I've read less than three times. Awesome work, everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinush Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 A stellar round this time guys. Well done. It was really difficult picking first place for my weighted votes, for me that was a two way tie. Let's see if we can keep up the participation level for the next one too.

Lucidicide Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 You're all winners to me! I've read all the stories. If anyone would like my specific feedback for some reason, send me a PM and I'm happy to share it! Just be aware that I am a critic at heart, so my feedback defaults in that direction quite heavily. Thanks everyone who took part, it was fun to read all these and see the level of involvement. I hope to see more from ya'll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trow Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Just to repeat what everybody else said, voting was rough! This has all been a lot of fun, already looking forward to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 That was really difficult to decide. So many very strong stories! It was awesome, also, how many stories ended up being police-procedural or detective-style stories. Not sure how that happened, but it's a great genre and there were some really well-written entries in this style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
