Write a Story, With a List Contest

Hey everyone,

Sorry for taking so long to post the winners; I don't have any good excuses. Except for maybe that when you start procrastinating, it's incredibly hard to stop.
Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to enter, or merely showed interest: it's extremely flattering, and somewhat surprising.
I guess I should just get onto it then (though if I were you, I don't read this ramble at the beginning anyway...

First Place:

His Honey To Do List by Out2Learn,

Because it's sad, and heart wrenchingly sweet. And maybe because it's real. It's almost painfully real.

Runner Up:

Listing to Port...A Sailor's Yarn by CaptainMidnight

Because it's got that wistful feeling to it, and while I cannot pretend that I'm old and wise enough to empathise: it's also extremely relevant.


Award icons and Merit Badges are always awesome, so email me to tell me what you want. As long as the value equals 20,000 GP and 5,000 GP respectively.

Thanks so much to everyone for entering. And believe me when I say it was indeed a hard choice.

I would like to commend philwillprevial and tension especially for some very enjoyable read.
