SHORT STORY CONTEST VOTING

[XRPeteSampras]

Based upon overwhelming feedback from the community, I've decided I must extend the voting for this contest considerably.  This will hopefully give everyone a more realistic time frame to read more of the stories.

The new voting deadline is 09/30/18.  This is the day before the SWELL conference.

Remember, all stories can be accessed in the "Fan Submissions" section of XRP Chat:  https://www.xrpchat.com/forum/116-fan-submissions/

The voting begins!  

Please be courteous to all participants and take time to read all stories before making the choice for your favorite XRP short story.  You have almost a week, so feel free to take your time! 

For ease of searching, the list above is in alphabetical order.  

Remember:  You only get one vote, and voting ends at midnight, 08/08/18.  

Good luck to all participants!

I've already read many of the short stories. I must confess I was unsure at first at what you might achieve with this project, even though your initial contribution was outstanding. I am now in awe of what you have achieved in bringing so much talent out of the community.  Irrespective of who wins, the  contributions have been great to read and I have forwarded some stories to people who have scant knowledge of crypto, but they too have been enthralled by what they have read.

Congratulations on the results

All credit to the community.

I had a feeling that there were many different types of stories that people would want to share, and I was not disappointed. 

Everyone had their own unique take, which was wonderful to be a part of.  I've been reading all along, but truth be told, there are still a few I need to read before casting my own vote.

I've really enjoyed this.

Indeed.

The good news is you've got almost a whole week, and many of them are quite short.  And if you're like me, you have a pretty good idea about whether or not something is a true contender within the first few paragraphs.  

I hope voters give the writers a fair shake and try to read as much as they can.

Good luck to every participants ? 

I'm amazed how many stories came up 

[NickelNDime]

"XRP A Story for the Ages", is the best by far... and I'm not saying that because I wrote it. hehe

[Flintstone]

Well done to the participants and best of luck.Here’s my short story which I didn’t bother entering as I don’t think it would cut it in amongst the rest ? 

 

Unstoppable Force

There was an unstoppable force (XRP) on a collision course with an immovable object (banks). What would happen ?

Well, let me tell you. The unstoppable force passed right through the immovable object and carried on its journey!

The End.

Good luck to all participants and huge thanks to XRPeteSampras for this contest. XRP Community is the best!

Interledger protocol, which will be the standard. Just like tcp/ip as we know now.

Congratulations to all who submitted stories.  Writing is not an easy thing.  It takes imagination, patience, and honesty with one's self to put thought to paper through the magical combination of words.  Everyone who submitted is already a winner.  I'm very honored to be a part of this unique group.

Well said.  

Additionally, it takes courage.  To submit personal work for others to scrutinize is not a thing for the faint of heart. 

Bravo to everyone who submitted, and I hope that those of you who second-guessed yourselves will join in on the next competition (whenever that may be!).
