The way my story was written, I'm actually thinking it could fit in very well as a Winter Holidays entry. But that would be a moot point if I can't access it.

Seven authors and Nine stories, will you let us know who wrote two? Just for the whole guessing and discussion part that seems to be such a big part of Fawc?

I'm going to be very interested to see what came from my picture. I might even write one later to see how my take stacks up. Right now I'm up to my eyebrows in an edit and rewrite on a novel.
My first thought when I saw the picture was a castaway from one island escaped on a raft to float up on this beach.
Ah, didn't realize it was corrupted to that extent. Sorry about that. If you reconstruct it, there's no reason it couldn't be entered to the Winter Holidays contest and also linked to FAWC as inspired by the exercise. You could just do the linking to this thread.
But sorry to hear you can dredge it up at all. I'm old world. They go to floppies as I'm writing them. (And the whole reason I started posting them to the Internet was to use it as an additional backstop.)
Yeah, the whole flash drive seems to be caput. I may just have to write it -- and everything on it -- off. That would allow me to rewrite the story, but I have a problem with that. Once I've written it, I have a problem doing the same story a second time (part of the reason I don't make outlines). So I would probably write a totally new one . . . but maybe with some of the elements I liked from my original.
Thanks off the top to Slyc for setting this up, Laurel for getting them up in "contest mode," and TxRad for the image.
I was kind of worried about the image when it first came up. I think it surprised a bunch of people.
This may be a dumb question, but how do we see what the scores are for the stories? Can we see number of votes, etc, or can only FAWCer see that?
I started reading them just now, exciting!
Sup FAWCers.
So okay, just wanted to stop in and give a little note. I've started reading on the stories in the contest. While initially at the sight of the picture I was unsure if I was interested, I've already been surprised by the stories I've read... which is two.
As a reader, I wanted to read all the FAWC entries, give every one a vote, and a comment. (My comment will be the long one that seems like the guy won't shut the hell up.) My intent was to kind of up the feedback for each entry, giving everyone a read, and to support the contest which I think is an awesome exercise.
Now, keep in mind that like usual, my comments are only my personal opinion, and I ain't no pro, so don't take every single criticism to heart. I'm just reading for fun and supporting the contest. Any comment I give, you can take it or leave it.
And just so we are clear, I don't analyze each story to see if I can figure out who the author is. I may participate in that later here on the forum, but I'm reading each entry with an open mind, keeping the fairness and anonymity as is the spirit of the contest.
Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. You FAWCers are awesome, and good luck in the contest to everybody.
That's awesome! Read mine next, will ya?
Clean up on aisle three: A spammer who has been around for a while is posting adverts to the FAWC stories, FAWCKer. When you get a chance you might erase them. Strange that "Veronica" has been permitted to do this for a couple of weeks without the Web site zeroing out her account.
Now, now Teach, you're all anonymous here. I have no way of knowing who you are. : )
But you certainly will be read. And you will have a long winded rambling comment by yours truly.
