It&#39;s really hard to choose between them. (I haven&#39;t read the other posts, so I hope I&#39;m not too late to vote.) If we can vote for one, I say &quot;Lisa Marie&quot;. If we can vote for two, I will add &quot;maridunn&quot;. (Hopefully, I spelled that right.)<br /><br />If anyone wonders, these were the two I&#39;d like to keep reading the most. They stick with me.Amber Hamiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02755613048630614834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334836757176538347.post-54285422901924170512009-10-18T20:08:34.400-07:002009-10-18T20:08:34.400-07:00I wanted to give a shout out to Vanessa in honorable mentions.

I remember reading miridunn&#39;s as I went through the submissions, though, and that arrested me. So much good writing.

They can&#39;t participate in the voting.<br /><br />Also 800+ votes isn&#39;t too shabby.<br /><br />But yeah, this contest stirred things up abit. :)<br /><br />Nathan - this is totally off topic, obviously, but I saw a preview yesterday. They&#39;re turning the Road into a movie. Looks scary - brrrr. Think I&#39;ll skip that one. You can tell us how it was. :)Mirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558405035294107657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334836757176538347.post-9771027244478663842009-10-18T16:06:40.330-07:002009-10-18T16:06:40.330-07:00i like Maya but my vote is 100% for &quot;M&quot;amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06155191146963360591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334836757176538347.post-40060329915937916522009-10-18T15:54:23.090-07:002009-10-18T15:54:23.090-07:00Josin L.
