Glad you still managed to put a sub in! Good luck with the storms, we'll see you soon!

Finally sorted, if anyone read mine earlier it has been edited many times and hope it makes you smile. Doing phone corrections was crazy mad and some very odd things crept in but I think I found them all. Whoever wrote a whole story on phone deserves special hardship commendations though think that was in this month's Young Love.
That was fun and glad there are plenty of entries.  Now I can settle down and read them .  Good luck everyone

Hi there @Nerf, thanks for coming to play, we love new writers joining here. How about dropping by the intro thread and telling us more about yourself so we can all get to meet you?

Ok, submission now locked - I'll do the voting thread in my lunch break in a couple of hours.

i still haven't had time (other than, like, a quick 10 minutes to see if it was easy -- it's not) to fix my ebook generator after jmack obliterated it with his story this month.  everyone else's story looks great.  his comes out as a jumbled pile.

i suppose that's what he gets tho.  writing something different, cool, and fabulous.  *shakes fist*

He is gonna make Amazon reinvent the Kindle! Look at the bright side!

Just voted but it was so hard so many good entries this month loved the variance that some of them were really silly whilsts others were serious, was a fun read

Now that the voting's over can someone explain how Dr chill entry broke the forth wall? I enjoyed it but I think it went over my head.

Only once as far as I could see and it was

That was said primarily to ease your worries, though, dear listener.

I presumed that was meant for the readers in general, as listeners to the story.But at the end it seemed as if directed to the client at the bar.

Yeah, I think it broke a 4th wall that was actually inside the 4th wall. That is, it was a story in a story, but you didn;t know it until the end. Was that a true breaking of the wall? mmmm, nah, I think. But I did enjoy it.
