Yes, the polls closed early, as the time was set by me, across the International Date Line, where I live. No,that isn't midnight June 10, in the US. I too have deadlines to meet to get the stories published and those deadliines are in the US. I should have made that more clear, I agree. I apologize to anyone that may have missed out on the chance to vote in the ten days that was provided because the poll closed some hours in advance of US midnight. This is a wrinkle that will be ironed out next year. Among many others that occurred this year as well. Volunteers like myself don't always do things the right way the first time. It is a learning process for us as much as it is for participants.
On to the good news, Teh Winnars!

A great big thank you to everyone who submitted, to everyone who voted and to everyone who helped me along the way with the issues I was able to resolve.
A huge thank you for reading so many stories to DaKahuna, already so busy with Wireless Village duties, and to The HighWizard, also already so busy with DC 101 duties. It is hard enough making such large events happen will all volunteers, but to add in the time consuming duty of reading, and evaluating, so many great tales, I just can't thank you enough!
