Motion among the finalists · 2:09am Feb 12th, 2015
The Motion of the Stars is amongst the More Most Dangerous Game's finalists.
The last time I got a story amongst the finalists for a competition - Moonlight Palaver, for the Outside Insight competition, the same mixture of elation and terrified anticipation went through my head that's going through it now. And who knows? Maybe I can make it all the way to the winning rankings again. But even if this is as far as I get, holy bejesus, that company. Losing to some of those names, and some of their stories that I've been able to read so far, would be nothing to be ashamed of. I'm especially thrilled to see There is Another Sky by Lambent Dream up there. It deserves lots more love, and should hopefully get it as a result of this.
As nice a way to greet the early morning as any. Sleep should probably happen now, though.
YO! Boss man! Congrats!
Keep that leprechaun wedged in there tight until the deadline though!
Congratulations!
I've yet to read Motion of the Stars, but I will once I get the time – and I'm sure I'll love it. I loved Moonlight Palaver, The White Horse, Second Sun, and The King in the Mountain all because of one main reason: you're seriously talented at writing tense scenes.
It definitely deserved its spot. Congratulations!
Yeah well...you're also in with the guy who wrote Cards Against Equinity.
Not quite the same feeling I'll wager.

Got him wedged in good and hard! And he's staying there, no matter what he or the law or public decency or basic human empathy says. Courses are meant to be stayed.

There's a wee bit of tenseness in this one as well. The apocalypse does that to stories.
Thank you kindly.

I'm up against that handsome devil? This is wonderful. Man, let me tell you, if I wasn't worried that guy would stumble across this blog somehow, I'd list off all my most explicit fantasies involving that stallion of a writer carrying me off in his strong, manly, authorial arms. On the off-chance he'd see this, though, I'd better not. It'd be a bit uncomfortable.
