Thanks, **Le Ministre**! It is so interesting seeing what other people do with the raw materials.

Hey, just noticed, the poll isn’t ‘multiple choice’ the typical way - you can’t check off multiple stories, only pick your favorite.

Thank you for pointing that out. I’ve alerted the Mods, though I’m not sure if anything can be done at this stage.

I’m all thumbs this time around!

Happens to the best of us, but hopefully this can be fixed. I always vote for at least the top five favorites.  
With only two voters so far, perhaps the poll can be totally removed and then just start anew? I am sure those two voters can be convinced to come back and vote again?

At any rate - I will wait to vote until this is resolved, or at least confirmed that it cannot be resolved.

BTW, I have read about half the stories and have indeed selected a few favorites already - some nice work and interesting methods of incorporating the photo!
