Congratulations to all the entrants to the contest, there were many wonderful stories, one of the best recent contests, in many ways we were all winners. Special congratulations to Emma, a worthy first place, for a lovely story, well scripted, keeping us interested right to the end.

Best wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy 2025, I look forward to many more stories in the coming year.

What is happening with the contest voting. I've not seen any details yet, or is it me missing something? Apologies if it sounds like nagging.

Apart from having to deal with all the other issues and problems in your life, the poor response to the May challenge must temper your enthusiasm to spend your time organising another.

Best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Many thanks to Erin and all the administration team at BCTS for all the hard work you put in managing the site.

Many thanks too to all those who have encouraged me to continue writing in this my first year publishing stories, it has really helped to keep me full of enthusiasm.

Again, many thanks to those who have taken the time and effort to post comments, most very kind, even those highlighting editing errors, and to those of you keen readers who have ticked the Kudos box.
