Heh, looks like I'm up against the big boys...

Missing.  That's half of my NaNoWriMo attempt.  Also, Oil Trouble is a Kevin Dunning short story as well.

real_jamicus is obviously the most talented.

it was a tough choice between Marmot and jamicus. i went with my boy jamsters.

I have to go with Strangeluv. he knows why :P

whoah i wasn't expecting to see those stories again. i didn't think i had changed at all the past year, but reading those i think i might've.

cuz hes a weirdo o_O

Was that a joke, GR

I only do that in the mock-G&Der topics and a lot of those "mocking G&Ders" topics are story topics. I don't think I go in people's topics and post random stories.

I'm torn between voting for Izekeal or Strangeluv here. I will take a while longer to decide, methinks!

I voted for SL because I'm really familiar with his writing and I really like some of his work. A lot of his writing is applied to the games he's made, which I also enjoy. His stuff is used on a lot of different levels, so I voted for him.

Well, while jamicus posted my favourite story of the bunch up there ("A Party Breaks Up"), I think a lot of his other stuff pales in comparison but I haven't read too much of his stuff.

Marmot and Izekeal are kind of polar opposites.

Marmot has a weird, drunken, jumbled style I really like that reminds me of... Charles Bukowski meets Philip K. Dick or something and while his style is aimless and sometimes kind of confusing, I still enjoy reading his stuff.

Izekeal is more conventional, some of the stories like Dashiel Hammett/Elmore Leonard meets Hardy Boys and some fantasy (a genre I don't dig). His stories are pretty good but sometimes I find them a little too straightforward and going "safe routes" and not taking risky turns.

So I don't really know who I'd choose between the two. It's a hard one for me. But I think I'll go with Izekeal.

I've read through some of everyone's stuff and after a bit of thinking I'm going to give my vote to jamicus as I like his style the best.

Edit: I was thinking of voting for Strangeluv but didn't want to take the "safe route"

Jamicus, do you write often, man? Or is it just spur of the moment? You seem to have a lot of hobbies.

probably a lot less often than you do, but yeah i do write stuff alot but it doesn't usually go anywhere. i just finished my last piece of uni work for the semester so i'm going to write something just now! i was gonna make a song but i've run out of musical ideas totally, i think i need to learn some new ways of making music/playing instruments.

the reason i make a lot of stuff all the time is cos i don't like the idea of taking ideas from things and not giving any back it makes me feel stupid and boring.

This was actually pretty close for me (all the polls so far)

something about SL going into a topic and posting a story (that was well written) was probably what done it for me. If i could vote for every here I would, and i like everyones writing
