No post from me this month for many boring reasons. Just a quick note to say great topic and fantastic entries.

Good luck to all and for what it's worth my choices would have been:

1st - The Acolyte: Excellent switching between narratives and great suspense.

2nd - The Long Night: Again a good build of suspense and the introduction of the Fathers words have a weighty change to the outcome.

3rd - On Birth and re-birth: Interesting to get a take on where a monster/hero (take your pick) originated from.

My two'penneth

1. The Acolyte - Corrigan Phoenix - 3pts
2. Ending lives - Pez_Yoda - 2pts
3. On Birth and re-birth - Liliedhe - Pez_Yoda - 1pt

I really enjoyed Corrigan and Pez's stories - they were excellent. Liliedhe's I thought was well written but didn't grab me in the same way, hence the lower mark.

Cheers

Thanks for the votes guys! First RiaR win- I'm dead chuffed!

Well done to all you who entered; thoroughly entertaining pieces all round!

[LordLucan]

Congratulations to Phoenix. I will put your story in the hall of frame this week hopefully, and we can see if we can put it up on the bloghole, for all our vast readership to consume, like the voracious word eaters they are!

I'll put up the new theme soon. Incidentally guys, go to the discussion thread and make suggestions. What theme word do you think i should use for October's RiaR?
