Very slow...Very crazy. I am holding myself to at least 500 words on my story before I can take a break and check the polls-it sure motivates me to work fast!

what's the over/under on total votes? i expected there to be like 100 votes today, but maybe people are taking the time to read through all of these, for the first time, or again

I hope that at least the people who were involved in the contest will vote, if I hadn't made the final round, I still would've wanted my say on who gets picked Good luck everyone-I think this will be a close contest.

I suspect this round (with the new changes) will reveal a more accurate number to the total number of actual voters. I'm glad Dan put it in for this round, because it will really bring out the cream of the crop. I've read all of the stories in the top group, and they are all excellent choices. But, seeing the best of those going through is what is the right thing. To be honest it was tough for me, as there were 4 I wanted to vote on. Whatever the case, this is the true test and good luck to those in the heat. It was a pleasure reading all of you stories.

Oh, and my guess on total votes would be 65, as that was the lowest count in one group before the final push.

Just an fyi, there are about 125 members who have been active enough to qualify for voting in the final round.

[RichardThomas]

that was funny spernst...pm me (kidding)

[C.W. LaSart]

So about 100 more votes to go-if everyone votes-I'm going for more tums!

[Craig Wallwork]

I've decided there is too much pressure for me to keep checking in on this. I'm going to try and not even look at the results - at all. My palms are so sweaty I'm sure my laptop may explode and take off my face if I drop in here on a daily basis.

Before that happens, in the famous line from Fame, "This is where we start paying back... in sweat!"

All the best everyone.

Vote has been cast. Good luck, ladies and gentlemen!

[Randy D. Rubin]

I just voted and the stories were excellent the second time through. It was a very tough decision. Congratulations to all of you, crop creamers!

Sorry, I wasn't trying to come off as snotty there or anything. I just figured that one group had 65 until the last couple of days, so to me that meant 65ish people had read every story, or at least close to that, who could place a vote very quickly. Of course I didn't add in the people that didn't read any of the 1st round, and might vote this round because it's less to read or discount the people that have left the competition. We'll see, but I hope its a good turn out with 3 great stories rising to the top.
