Fortnightly Writing Competition - National rivalries [THE END]

[Mandle]

As for Mandle's story, I understood the joke, though it would probably have worked better as a visual sketch than a written joke.

I would probably disagree with that last point. Even though the joke is not very funny I think the little humour it does have comes from having to imagine the configuration of colours/shapes and relate that to the flag puns. I think if it was drawn then it would be just a bit too obvious and the viewer would probably have a "So what?" reaction. Not that the listener/reader probably doesn't already have that...

I plan to read all stories and vote tonight. Hopefully voting is still open.

I plan to read all stories and vote tonight. Hopefully voting is still open.

Since there are so few votes so far, I'm giving you until end of the day to get some votes in. Hopefully we'll get a few more votes, too, to make things more interesting.
I hope you guys don't mind all the extensions dragging this fortnightly out a bit. Sorry!

[WHAM]

Gotta end this eventually, and so we come to the final scores:

Sinitrena takes the win! Congratulations!

Baron takes the second place.

Wiggy holds 3rd position.

Thank you to all who participated.

Ah, sorry guys.  I've been on the road travelling and missed the voting window.  Congratulations Sinitrena!

[Sinitrena]

Thanks, everyone.

See you next time.
