Stab and Twist (by ACSmyth)

Apr 2014 [Jake/Lynn]: The Artisan's Mask (by ladygreen)
May 2014 [Portal]: Song & Dance (by ladygreen)
Jun 2014 [Taboo]: Life and Death (by Elfy)

I think it'd be great.

Of course, I'm speaking as a non-writer, just a regular reader/voter :)

I'm new here, but I like it.  It would make me go back and read them all.

I think it's a good idea. And I'm not just saying that because I have a horse in the race. It will also make the contest a bit more visible and may encourage some extra entries and votes.

This is a great idea! And the winning entry could be included in the next FF Anthology...  ;)

Just read the Four Orcshirement last night.  Loved it.  Loved the Eagles.

I had already read most of the winners so I only had to go back to the first 5 or so in the year.  Lots of great stories. My votes are in!
