**Verrain** pulls well into the lead, with 6 votes!

Following are **Francesca** , **Kamandi** , **Peregrine** , **riley diffenbach** , and **gypsy\_gurl** , with one vote each.

To answer questions:

- **ChiefScott** , voting ends at the end of the month. Last day for this round is April 30. (And frankly, I’m suprised that you could post directly after a woman covered in whipped cream…to vote for someone else. For shame, Chief!)

-As for a newbie of the year competition, there will be one, but it will only be between all of the monthly winners.

-And as for April newbies voting, by all means, go ahead. Anyone who is not registered in the month in question can feel free to vote, thereby possibly securing votes for themselves in the future.

Keep em coming, folks! Sill got a while left in this month!

Been lurking in this thread from the beginning and have held off posting until now. Moment of weakness I suppose.

Self-promotion not being preferable to self-deprecation in my book, I’ll decline participating in any of the former.

In that vein, I would appreciate consideration (ironically) for the coveted title of “Most Ignored Newbie”. If there is also a candidacy for newbies in the category of “Longest Hold Out to Posting (in) a Flirt Thread”, I would ask some consideration in that as well.

Well, I certainly hope the entry form got their consent for this.

I agree totally, **soulmurk** , and would never vote for myself!
