Well done stripey.

I liked Bang too Pip.

I do hope we get to find out who wrote all the stories. I admit I didnt vote early on as I loved too many of them as much as each other. I look forward to rereading them with the authors name attached.

Brilliant stories.

You should all be congratulated.

[Jan Van Quirm]

Certainly should be giving everyone involved a pat on the back

Pip - I was appalled when Bang went out and as for Stories will fade - you woz robbed!

Didn't understand Stories will fade.

one of the tragedies of Irish Myths is called the Children of Lir where the evil stepmother turns the three kids into Swans for 900 years. This along with a lot of Irish myths were all rewritten by monks to have a whole isn't it great that christianity came ending complete losing what the original stories were along the way.

Why didn't you tell me?
That bit at the end put me off the whole story. I thought you were being too pretentious by including Gaelic, which nobody would understand.

How about once the champions are announced the authors are added to the stories and put up for access once again.

No can do Del.

I have no idea what Gaelic looks like.
I assumed that Tonyblack's signature was Welsh and yours was Gaelic.

Heres an example of something written in Irish using the Gaelic script
