[Well, crud.  I mistyped the email addy.  This came through fine on a.c.lnh,
but not at all on r.a.c.c.]
 
Submissions for the 9th High Concept Challenge 'The Red Planet' have closed.
 
There are four elligible stories.  In alphabetical order they are:
 
* Coherent Super Stories #20 'Prisoner of the Red Planet' - Dave Van Domelen (Dvandom)
* Going Solo #3 'Fight or Flight' - Ted Brock (Phantasm)
* Journey Into... #12 'Orphans of Mars' - Tom Russell
* SW10: Rednecks From Mars - Scott Eiler
 
(At the risk of having to point out the bleeding obvious, 'Mars and the Dark
Age of Superheroes' doesn't count.  Essay rather than story, submitted by
the administrator for this round, you know the drill.)
 
You may vote by sending emails to my hotmail address

Which makes me wonder if essays in general would count.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, hmmm.

[scratches back of head thoughtfully] An interesting question. You already know my first response.
My second response would be: well, if it makes for interesting reading...
My third response would be: Okay, but stories should obviously have a priveleged position over essays.
My fourth response would be: Why should this be obvious?

Anybody else have thoughts on this?

Simple solution. Going forward, the person who picks the topic also
specifies whether essays are allowed.

Dave Van Domelen, going forward to bed.

Mmmm, but seems a lot of effort for something that'll only come up once in
a while.
