I've avoided it for, as Wolfgang has indicated elsewhere, fear of having some degree of "counter-influence". 😀

I wrote "Release", so thank you to all those who voted for the story over the two rounds. After a poor showing last year, I was ecstatic to win round 1.
I will discuss the stories in the thread that Ponderable mentioned above.
