The little writing community on Labyrinth is my second home.  I’m very much not a fan of the review trading side of the forums, but the writing community side of things more than makes up for part-that-must-not-be-named (again). 

This contest, there’s 12 heartfelt entries ranging from romance, to action, to sci fi and thriller. 

If you love reading, or even if you just like it, or do it when there’s nothing else to do, I strongly encourage you to head on over, read the stories, and vote for your favourite.  Usually, I have 1 or 2 that stick out as my favourites, but this time, the calibre of writing is so good, that I really don’t think I can pick the best. 

I made the mistake of reading Solemn’s Total Net Value, Fifteen Thousand Likes before finished my entry, which had me shitting my pants.  He’s a great writer, and it’s evident in the way he’s written a seemingly normal train encounter into a strange, wonderful, and bleak future-world. 

Emerald Viper’s Hyde and Seek is your typical fantasy short story, with likable characters, tight plot, and all the right fantasy elements –  rouge, wizard, princess, necromancer, rare artefact, escaped shadow.  Everything you could want in an adventure. 

T Rasa’s outdone himself with a fractal city in Powerless, which stars a mundy man in a magical world who is anything but powerless.  He has this uncanny way of approaching things from a rare angle, with entertaining results.  All  I can say is that you never want to cross this man  - the character, yes, but the author too.

Jazzy’s done her best to punch readers in the face with intense emotion, and just continues to turn up the dial from there in Penance.  There’s an interesting twist towards the end that adds a whole new layer to the story. 

You may have heard, the winner is getting two teacups from yours truly.  I’m pretty sure that this isn’t the motivating factor, but it’s just a bit of a bonus.  Here’s what they look like:
