Both are very interesting and innovative takes on the theme.

However, Plot #2 will receive my vote, if my vote is needed as a tie breaker.

Vote: Plot #2

I'll go with #2.

I shall put my vote in for #2.

Well, we haven't heard from aqhoffman, but Plot #2 has gained enough votes to guarantee a win.

So EmperorNorton is eliminated and we move into the LAST ROUND:

charlesx (2 wins; 1 tie)

vs

St. Dumas (1 win; 2 ties)


The Title: The Deathless Cetacean.

The Blurb: Ahab simply wanted revenge. He did not realize that his maniacal hunt would alter the outcome of a secret undersea war--and decide the fate of the entire human race.


Deadline is Friday by Noon Eastern time, though as usual either player can request an extention.

And all votes count--if there's a tie this round, then we will simply have co-winners.

Wow, how the cuss did I make it here?

I am going to need an extension!

I don't think this is the place to discuss your.......shortcomings.

Did not hear you complaining last night. :speechles

I didn't notice you were there, you didn't have an extension.

And so we reach the final round. I might need that extension after all, given how crazy the week is thus far...

Let's make the deadline Monday. Let me know if you need more time than that.

Darn. I got the notice while I was away for work a couple days. My vote goes to #1, but both stories were enjoyable as all get out.

Word.

#1 had a dismal sort of Lovecraftian/Howardian grimness that I dig.

Props to both...nay! ALL writers!

One of the players has requested an extension, so the stories aren't due until this Friday.
