Entries starting to come in, thanks!

Just a reminder, that since everyone who enters gets a free pdf of everyone else's entry, it's more fun when there are more people who enter.

Okay, that's a wrap. Everyone who entered should have gotten an email acknowledgement from me that I received your entry. If not, please contact me ASAP at the email address listed in the contest description.

It looks like there are some excellent replies! I'll probably be a little slower reporting the winners than usual, due to all the craziness of the year, but I hope to post results sometime this weekend.

Many thanks to all who participated!

Thanks to all.

Congratulations to the winners. Looking forward to reading the PDFs of the four winning entries.

[Jack Shalom]

Well I screwed up big time. I overlooked an entry that had been sent to me by MagicbyAlfred before the contest deadline, but I put in the wrong folder and never got to read it. It was an excellent submission!

Here it is: https://jackshalom.net/2021/01/17/contest-correction/

Further amends will be forthcoming.

Thank you, Alfred.

[MagicbyAlfred]

Thank YOU, Jack!

[Zig Zagger]

Wonderful memories, Alfred, and beautifully written!

Kudos for that and thank you for sharing!

[MagicbyAlfred]

Zig Zagger,

You are thoughtful and kind! Thank you!

I am happy you enjoyed reading the stories

[Paco Nagata]

Finally I could finish reading that wonderful entry, Alfred, Jack!

I read it feeling as if I were you, Alfred!
^_^
Lovely magical memories!

I may understand why the "Magic Milk Pitcher" became so important for you:
I guess you wished to be able to do that magic when you was a child, so that you wouldn't have had to drink so much milk!
^_^

By the way, you are very eloquent.
You should take seriously into account devoting some of your time to writing books.
I'm not English native, but, to me, you have a great talent for telling stories.

[MagicbyAlfred]

Gosh Paco, Thanks! You've got me blushing more than the back of a card in Red Hot Mama!

And yes, ha ha, you are right about that milk!
