This round of challenge stories are particularly good ones, I think. All three authors have contributed stories that will be going into my "Favorite Story Links" folder Awesome job, Guys Smile

Challenges are meant to do two things:

  • Encourage existing authors to raise their game
  • Attract new authors


And they do.

As one of the three - many thanks for the praise Teddy.

I do often find that the Challenges, especially the picture ones, inspire an idea that would otherise never have come to mind. 

My original stoy was written at least a couple of years ago when that picture apeared on the Inspirations thread. I never expected Timmy to select the picture for a Challenge, but when he did I felt that I had to try and come up with a sequel. Good to know it seems to have worked.

Thank you for the comment, Teddy. The challenges are always fun. It's just amazing how different the results are - same picture, different minds!

Ivor and Joe turned in excellent stories, and I can only wish there had been more. Maybe next time?
