Bah, if it wern't for Rogan sneaking in at the last minute I could have had a shot
Oh well, time to find out if originality is a better factor than delay...

Ditto.

Darn! I was going to say something witty!

I vote for Rogan's Shadow Warriors. It was nice to finally have a continuation of that story after so long.

I'll have to agree with Slayer on this one. My vote goes to Rogan.

A sense of peace fell over me as I watched the sunrise from my room...then I realized my window faces west.

I'll vote for Rogan.

Well, can I please have the honorible mention for coming up with an idea that the others thought was original? Please?

Well, after one week of voting, the clear winner, earning all four explicit votes, is Rogan's Shadow Warriors, Part Four. Congratulations, Rogan! Your name is now engraved [url="http://"http://www.macclassics.com/cythera/cotm.htm"]here[/url].

Oh, and Bryce, I refer you to the final line of the official rules:

Oh, I didn't know that...
So, it was a one-time thing for kat, and not something we are going to do every month?

Further, since we are all considered to vote for our own chrons, It seemed reasonible that we could nominate ourselves for the Honorible mention.

[This message has been edited by Bryce (edited 09-04-2002).]

Honorable mentions are usually just for close races, though other circumstances that I can't currently anticipate may perhaps merit one. Voting for oneself is considered by many to demonstrate a lack of humility. It would, however, be unfair to disenfranchise chronicle authors, and it can be reasonably assumed that any author would like to win chronicle of the month. This is the reasoning behind the implicit votes. It would seem to me that it would also be implicit that any author would like to have an honorable mention, thus it is not necessary for authors to explicitly state such a desire. Don't worry, Bryce. You'll probably get something pretty soon.

Well, that's what I had thought, until you decided that we all voted for ourselves automaticly, so I just got a wrong impression...

I'll get to it this weekend, right now I'm working on a particular project which actually has a deadline! Fortunately, I'm a page up on where I intended to be by this point.

Which was what I was referring to. Well, serves you right for showing off your writing skills.

Been too busy to write chrons, perhaps soon
