Congrats to the winners! This was a great contest Pearl! Thank you!

Yeah, congrats to the winners! Having read their stories, particularly Jim_Leyland's, I've gotta say that I'm kinda happy I didn't win.

(Not that I should have; my story was essentially the same as Kissyboots' and she posted hers first.

)

I loved the elements that kept repeating...like the towels, which I think is probably something that people wouldn't think of and could stand to be warned about. And of course kids putting things in tanks is great. I will get around to PM'ing everyone either later today or next week, but I'd love to feature them in an article on the site and group them thematically

I really wanted to give so many more prizes out than i could...sigh!

I would love to know when the next contest is.

Congrats to the winners and for those who took part in it!

Hi all,

Here's the article featuring those stories! I used the winning stories and included others if I received the OK (there are a few people i haven't heard back from, and if I hear from you I will add your stories too).

Let me know if you see a name that looks wrong or want anything changed. (If you didn't get a PM from me, it's probably because your profile is set not to

If so you can let me know and I'll add you too!)

Thanks again and hope you enjoy

p.s. brooklynfish - it may be a couple months, but we'll post about it here, in the lounge, and in the past our contests have been posted on the home page as well.
