[Guest]

This was quoted from the awards forum—looks like Mama Kitty flubbed up the wording in her post a little bit, but the message is clear

Congratulations Lauren! Letters from Pohjola is beautifully written with the same lyrical eroticism that informs your poems. I'm so happy for you.






i guess you were right katie; she is all that

WOW!

Congratulations! Can you believe it?? One of our own, A Poet won the top prize in a general contest on Literotica! Will wonders never cease! Now, if next time a poem can actually win (or even just be entered) the world will approach perfection!

Actually, the runner-up wasn't exactly prose.

Oh, and a to Lauren. Although she can buy her own damn roses now.

/Ice - didn't enter contest, so not jealous.

No, but it wasn't listed as poetry either.
As far as I can tell, work posted on the poetry board was not eligible.

The story deserved top honors. Congrats, L.
Now where's my 10% for the 1,000 votes I came up with?

Hey Lauren? Porrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtoooooooooooo!



P.S. The giraffe voted for *catbabe's* story

CONGRATULATIONS!


I'm not in the least surprised, Lauren.

 

[*Catbabe*]

Congratulations Lauren on a very well deserved win!!!!*S*






Dammit, Ange, Laurel doesn't allow animal votes!!! Please get that giraffe under control for next time *w*

Hooray! That's wonderful Lauren. Congratulations.

By the way Fishy one, Halloween Bill is listed as a story because only entries of 750 words and over are eligible in contests. A story can be either poetry or prose.

Form does not change plot, just the presentation of it.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I'm still in a state of shock! When I submitted the story I didn't have any hope of winning anything, so this came as a huge surprise.

A huge thank you to each and every one of you, and a big hug to Catbabe and Carrie, whose stories I thought were awesome.

Eve and Ange? Don't fight, both cheques are on the mail.
