June Flash Winner

[Barbara]

And this month's Flash Club winner is:

@Rich. With:

The Moon and The Mountain. Here

Well done Rich. A fab piece of writing. You're the winner of an original proof copy of 'Wakenhyrst' by Michelle Paver. Please PM your address to @AgentPete.

Secondly, I would like to give a big shout out to @Matthew Snoding for his entry: 'We chucked Granddad in the BIN ™ this morning' which you can find: here. Matthew had the same amount of votes as Rich but Rich had one more 'Love' vote. A narrow race indeed. Well done Matthew for being such a great runner up.

Congrats to both of you. And everyone else. Wonderful entries all round.

Now, let the battle for July begin.

Congrats guys, good work, well deserved! There were some cracking entries this month

 

[Rich.]

Well, that's a pleasant thing to wake up to on a Monday morning. Many thanks to all who voted for my story.

But, but, but... 'tis not on, me thinks. Nothing here is anonymous for Guardians, so in the spirit of levelling the field, I'd like the prize to go to @Matthew Snoding for his brilliantly-voiced We chucked Granddad in the BIN ™ this morning. Well done, Matthew, it's a great piece!

 

[Katie-Ellen]

It IS on. It's not fair if Guardians can't win. Unpaid volunteers, why should they have to miss out?

Two fantastic stories. Really superb. Yours, @Rich. a beautiful, delicate fable and @Matthew Snoding....fantastic voice, depth and consummate assurance of delivery. Get them published. Congratulations, both of you.

 

[Carol Rose]

WOOT!! Well done, @Rich. and @Matthew Snoding!!

 

[Steve C]

Well done Rich. I really enjoyed your piece.

Mine was the “love” vote—your piece was wonderful! Your response to the prompts was so unforced but intricate, and the story and language were beautiful. Well deserved win!

 

[Emily]

A well deserved win, @Rich. and I agree completely with @Katie-Ellen Hazeldine . I loved @Matthew Snoding 's piece equally, but fair is fair

 

[Robert M Derry]

Congrats @Rich. & @Matthew Snoding. Well done!

 

[MartinR]

Well done, Rich and Matthew. I'm going to re-read both your superb pieces... to enjoy them all over again... and learn from them, hopefully.

 

[Rich.]

Thank you all so much for your kind and generous comments!

 

[Sea-shore]

Well done Rich!!

 

[Matthew Snoding]

Hello there! I'm not sulking! I've been away for a week in sunny Spain and just got back - thanks very much for all the very nice comments - @Barbara, @RK Capps, @Katie-Ellen Hazeldine @Carol Rose @Rainbird @Robert M Derry @MartinR. And no worries @Rich. In truth I wasn't really following the brief (it wasn't really romance genre, and there was no mention of Cyprus . . .) so more than happy for you to win the prize.

Cheers

 

[Rich.]

@Matthew Snoding, that's very gracious of you indeed. Many thanks!
