I'd suggest that they remain anonymous, so that the pure merits of the writing and story can be judged, rather than personalities etc.
All in jest sir. Submissions are always anonymous (and rightly so).

Paul, as you know writers all have their own unique style. Goad having won the Prose Competition 3 years in a row, even I can tell which ones goad wrote, which if I voted wouldn't stop me from voting for the best one. I think you may give him some competition this year, if you go in.

I don't think for one second you could identify something I had written, and if you somehow managed to do so, you certainly wouldn't vote for it.

But yes, Paul is a great writer and did well last year.

Your not going to like my opinion but I think yours got voted because everyone knew it was your story, and no one knew who Paul was. I think you got it because of who you are not your story. You asked me to be blunt so you have it!!!

Probably the daftest thing you've ever written.

Thanks for the chuckle.


(Out of curiosity Sherlock, how did I win the first year when no one knew who I was? )

Voting 'wasn't' anonymous. Go look yourself at the people you are suggesting voted biasedly. All forum regulars.

Here, have a shovel.

Actually you started on me goad.

I've told you time and again if you are going to throw rocks, you are going to get them thrown back at you, one would think after all these years you would have caught on and not bait me. You know I'll take it every time!!!
