It's bloody hot in the room where my desktop computer is; that being said, I am thrilled by the number of submissions to Brevity Quest 2016. As one of the judges, I feel duty-bound to remind writers to follow normal posting protocol. One example, soft or hard link your write-up. For my old sake, please include a link to Brevity Quest 2016 with word count.
Other than that, carry on; the more the merrier! (I think some prizes other than GP are in order, but that's just me...) Perhaps a soy milk maker, a quaint book, Pez dispensers, a 1970's Playboy magazine, gently used kitchen utensils...
Keep up the good work!
