Congratulations Hellhound author!

I voted for Hellhound, Understanding Dragons, and Different Wavelengths.

Since the analysis for my stuff is not hard, yeah, the golem story was mine.

Damn, you tricked me, sir. You posted in the Discussion thread you were having trouble and even posted a story, so I figured you couldn't have been the first, though I did wonder if it was an elaborate ruse. Turns out it was the latter  ::)

In truth, I was going to replace the Golem story which was sort of a rushed thing, and I was having trouble with it. The idea hit me for a chain golem, and I looked for a picture and amazingly, I found one, and the story followed probably too quickly. But I couldn't think of a better way to get into a non-human head and it be comprehensible and also at least a little entertaining. The tiger story depended too much on humans' interpretations of the animal's behavior and was really, really predictable.

Huge congrats to the anonymous author who is not actually anonymous! (*cough* Rukaio *cough*) Also, thanks for the comments on "Just a Simulation" - those of you who attributed that one to me guessed correctly (I took one look at m3mnoch's guessing page, and apparently, I'm super obvious) but I'm glad some folks enjoyed it! I'll update the Twitter when I get home today.

Sadly, I missed the Omens theme, as it has been just an absurdly busy month all around - including a constant speed grind at work, at home, and in general, including a deadline for some big edits on a charity story I got accepted a couple of months back. This also marks the first time in maybe a year or two I've actually missed submitting a story for a theme, so I'm a little bummed about that. At the least, I know I'll make time to vote for our Omens stories, likely sooner rather than later.

Hopefully, with both work and home craziness dying down this month, I will be on top of things for our Music theme (which is delightfully vague, which should lead to a rather random collection of stories).

Congrats Rukaio for the glorious fun of Hellhound - of course it was you, no need for hints about puppies even  ;D You got my vote along with The Dance and A Taste of Humanity, all three great entertainment, so many thanks TOMunro and Lanko. ;D

Not transparent at all - I have no idea why you're so nice. What you are is predictable - predictably nice  ;D ;D
