Congratulations to the winners of the challenge!! The stories were great and the honors are well-deserved.
My sincere apologies to those who objected to the 'To be continued' at the end of my story. I'm afraid I got rather carried away when writing it, and by the time I was able to wrap it up, it was far too long to be included in its entirety in the challenge. I had to break it up into a series and I suppose I assumed the 'continued' would be removed when part 1 was formatted and loaded as a standalone story for the challenge. But I should have resubmitted it in the proper format, so mea culpa. |
