"A Whiff of Steam" story contest - and the winner is....

[TylertheDesigner]

Late to the party?

Oh well.

[Robin]

Yeah, since December 7.

I'm flattered, though.

I came here today to announce, that Aaron (partymetroid, winner of our contest) decided that he does not want to write for games, we wish you good luck with novel writing you mentioned He will probably explain his decision better himself so I'm leaving it up to him.

Anyway, because no story was submitted in final form, it means that next submission - which is submission by Robin, takes its place. Congratulations Robin, you are the winner now

It felt like a large weight was lifted from my shoulder when I resigned... I just wasn't coming up with any good ideas for the story. Caused me a lot of stress...

... I still wish for the best for this project.

I'm way late for the party, but I read the stories. All interesting. My only worry is that Robin's story resembles the story of the Bourne Identity. Had I arrived earlier, I would have submitted something myself, if only to practice my plot creation!

Does it? I didn't have The Bourne identity in mind while I wrote it. In what way does my entry resemble it?

Well, you still can. The project is pretty much dead, but practising that kind of thing is never a bad idea.

Sorry to hear the project is dead, I had no idea. I guess I'm really late.

Your story reminded me of the Bourne Identity for several reasons:

1) A man wakes up with a memory blur.
2) There is an incident in his past, but he is not sure what.
3) The cops are questioning him, possibly thinking he is a suspect.
4) He only has a small bit of information to go on, in this case a name and a phone number.

[Robin]

Most of it I just inherited from the guy who had written the original story outline.

[Chartre]

It's weird because I liked Partymetroid's the least and Robin's the best, which seems to be the opposite to everyone else.

[Robin]

Thanks. The whole project is now dead, by the way.
