Honorable mention:

Not only did he win the poll's vote, but he won mine and the other judges as well. His stories have this way of sticking with you for a long time afterward. He truly has the unique touch.

There are a good ten of you that impressed me with either quality, originality, pacing, but I need to keep my mouth zipped for the sake of choosing stories for a Zombie Luv antho.
It was blast to work with the other judges Mari Juniper, Lori Titus, and Jim Bronyaur. Great people, great stories and lots of zombie luv to go around. Thanks for the fun everyone!

It was fun and thanks for being one of the judges! I know that's not easy.
Very cool. Congrats to the winners. I didn't participate in the contest because the thought of zombie love made me want to gag. :D I have now seen the other side, thanks to the many talented writers who took part. It must have been very tough to judge.
Thanks, Laura! I had a blast reading the stories. Yours was great BTW
I understand Laurita. LOL. I've had about enough brains for a month. People were so creative, I just loved the winning story. ;-)
