The Lodestar Contest

Look at the beauty of these eleven stories! That means there will definitely be a winner and a runner up. I don't like to make promises about Honorable Mentions, especially since I haven't read anything yet, but I like the odds when there are this many entries.

Thank you, each and every one, for throwing your stories into this hat!

Give me until the end of the day on March 11 to get results out. Please note that you're able to go wild with editing your items if you want. I put each of your stories in its own tab on my laptop and do not reload until I've made a decision. If something happens and I have to re-open a story, that's on me, not you.
