Just finished reading the Urban Fantasy stories. There's one total stand-out for me, and three strong contenders, along with a bunch of good stories too.

Unfortunately, I can seem to vote. Is it just me, @xiagan, or is everyone seeing the list of stories but no voting buttons?

Hey all, votes should be hidden now again and you should be able to change them and add some more if you want to (if you didn't use all four yet). I shortened it about one day, because February is so short. And I didn't reset your votes, so you don't have to vote again. :)

How can we change them? They're completely blank, as if vote had ended. It doesn't offer anything.

@Jmack : prepare to be grilled for info tomorrow.

Yep, I see no method to vote. It appears like voting is closed, but there are no results, either.

Looks like it's open with me. I hadn't voted for anything yet, so could that be a factor?

Daaaaamn!! I can't believe the size of the two typos I've made  :'(
Any way I could squeeze in two corrections @ScarletBea ? At least for the story's potential posterity? T_T

Thanks. In the same passage section, I wrote "reminding" instead of "remaining" and later "an urchin dream's" instead of "an urchin's dream".
Shameful.

I've voted but I can see the current results

One story stood out for me too.
