You engendered some really inspiring entries with this contest. Now that I have learned how to subscribe to my favorite writers on the various sites, I am beginning not to miss TS too much.
Folks seem to be doing very creative work on their private sites.
Your selections, of course, were very well done and I'd agree with your picks. Not only the winners are winners here, but so too the others who received a true critique - I hope they realize how fortunate they all are. The best rejection letters I ever received for my poetry were several which included honest critiques, however brief. Not only did I feel that the editor actually read and appreciated my work, but it was very good advice, too. You would have loved seeing it.
