**Winners**

This is not me or Liz!

There are two competitions ending today, both genuinely good reads:

The winner for a copy of Biohell by Andy Remic is: Nathan T of Manchester;

the winner of Mechanicum is: John K Rose (am not entirely sure where in the UK JKR is, but have emailed him the question).

Thanks everyone for entering - more comps are on the way, so keep an eye out!

Some lucky critters managed to get their names down twice - don't ask me, I'm merely the servant of the mystical 8 ball. (especially when the same answer comes up three times in a row, you sort of don't argue!)

Celebration

Word Count: 50976

Yay - it's over with for another year. It's my first win. I will freely admit to writing the biggest load of bollix ever, to get that wordage up. I really crafted my first 30k words, the rest will be deleted and the real story will be told, purely because I fell behind and felt the need to make up the wordcount as quickly as possible. But it's over and done with. And I won. Third year I'm participating and I feel very proud.

Preens a bit.

Okay, so the rest of the coming week means catching up on writing reviews and reading. It is a very hard life.
