Congratulations both of you.
I saw Viv's poem.
And 'Remember Me' is in Van.
Saw one other TBer's name in WN.
Loved the story, Van. Well done.
Read and enjoyed both (yes even the poem, and I dont usually *do* poetry ;-) )

Although I've previously had some short-story shortlistings, this is the first time I've had anything actually in print in WM. Put me down as gutted.
If I had a cat I would kick it :(
Well at least we all know now snaimale. Well done to you (I ain't read it yet, not got my copy but I will)
I've already sent a whining email to the letters people...
[quote=dora]... and when the cheque will arrive (if one is to be sent) 1 to 19 of 19[/quote]
I dont write anything that results in cheques Dora :)
The longer letter under the heading 'Let your humour show'.
Well done, Mutley, too! I had numerous poetry shortlistings before I got a second place. It will happen - you're obviously doing all the right things and it was just a judges preference on the day. Keep sending them in!
Well done Van. I really enjoyed your story and found it very relate-to-able.
Last but certainly not least, well done to Viv. I thought your poem was beautifully sad and very evocative. (I actually preferred it to the winner, although I did think that was good too.)
What a clever lot you are!
Snail, how about we all go down to our local WHS with a marker pen ;)
Congratulations, everyone. I now need to note all your names on a post-it before I can read...
Think we should start a protest outside. Bring your placards everyone and your shouty voices.
Snailmale, that's a pain - make sure they print a correction and apology next month!
Over about four years, when I first started sending short stories off, I got shortlisted 11 times but never got to runner-up, Mutters, so don't despair! AND NEVER GIVE UP Why don't they do the 'country story' any more?
I'm off to find Viv's pome and the letter and to see Mutters' name in print again.
(sighs)
Complete takeover. Is that a cross between a takeaway and a makeove?
Well done, you lot
Talkbackers are featuring more often now. :)

Talking of the OWC, good word - really busting my brains on this one!
Congratulations to all, especially Van for winning the story, Viv for her poem - and Mutters for her highly commended! Snailmale, are you sure you're not Olive?
I read and enjoyed your poem Viv even though poetry isn't usually my thing and I too preferred it to the winner, probably because it was so tight and economic like the feedback says.:-)
Snailmale I'm sure WM will credit you now you've raised it, I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments expressed, I try and write 'properly' too but I've just been back through some old stuff I never polished and sent out because I thought the content rather frivolous and discover there are stories there that could be gems had I realised they were 'my voice' at the time. I think I'll stop fighting that 'inner voice' and get on with it. Well done and thanks for the kick up the backside ;-)
