Well, we had a tie between Dave and Rob. And so I must cast my tie-breaker vote. Which is hard.
Both stories were quite excellent (in fact, all eight were pretty great!), each succeeding in the different way it answered the challenge. In the end, however, I'll break the tie in Rob's favor.
I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who participated. The best I was hoping for with 36.5 was to prevent 36 from being fatal. I was pleasantly surprised and deeply gratified that 36.5 garnered so many responses, and that all of them were excellent.
Now, take it away, Rob...!

Hey, wow! Thank you very much!

I thought this was one of the best collection of contest
entries we've had in quite a while -- so this was really
an honor.
And now for the next challenge. In the spirit of
RACC, I'm calling for... a Team Challenge!
That's right -- you MUST collaborate with another
writer or artist in some way, shape or form to
qualify for this entry.
How you collaborate is up to you. Spitballing
ideas with another writer? Working with an artist
to illustrate your ideas? Bodily merging with
other creative types into an all-powerful gestalt
being? Hey, whatever works!
The deadline is Bastille Day -- Sunday, July 14.
As someone once said... come together. Right
now. Over me.

I love the concept, and I'm in a good position to do something about it

right now, but... err, historically, collaborations in RACC do not lend
themselves to *any* sort of deadline.
Still, I'll try...

I've found a buddy for my own entry.
If however anyone else is looking to buddy-up, I'd be happy to volunteer what services I have at my disposal, with the caveat that if the story I assist you with wins, you choose the next concept. Shoot me an email if interested.

still follow through, but please know I won't be offended or handicapped
if you decline.
I'm kind of interested in how we choose the next concept after this.

I'm confident you've figured out an answer. But since no one's spoken

up yet, I'll point out: I've been a multiple entrant in one or two
contests already. People looked at me funny for competing against
myself, but the precedent is set.
