Winner of the AC Flash Fiction Contest August 2009
Congrats to the Winner, Thank You to All
Congratulations to Linda Ann Nickerson. Her story, "Knock No More" was selected as the winner of the flash fiction contest for August, 2009.
And an honorable mention goes to Maura Nicholson, for her story, "Avon Calling." Although this story didn't win, it was so entertaining that Maura will receive a $10 wild-card assignment as a prize for the honorable mention.
Two lucky entrants will also receive a wild-card $10 assignment just for entering. Congratulations to Julie Rule and Justin Schwan. They were selected randomly from the entrant pool to receive these high-value wild-card assignments.
We already have a creative writing contest lined up for next month. Keep your eyes peeled in your Assignment Desk, the forums, and on Twitter to see what the topic will be. It will be announced on September 1st.
Again, thank you to all for making this such a successful contest, and congratulations to the winner. See you next month!

Congrats!
Congrats to all the Linda and all the others.
Congrats to the winners!
Thanks! This was a fun contest. Wasn't it great to have AC featuring CREATIVE WRITING too. Congratulations to all the great entrants.
Congratulations to Linda and Maura and the wild card winners. I read many of the submissions and wondered how they would choose a winner. As I read the winning entries I have to say, I think they chose well. Both of the submissions contained elements of good if not great, flash fiction-things that put them above just being a good short short story. Great job Linda, Maura and AC.
Congratulations to Linda, wonderful story!
Congrats Linda.
Congratulations Linda..I enjoyed your story.
I have to agree with Grayce on this one. Now I'm wondering what criteria was used for making this choice. Very disappointed as there were many better stories without an overly descriptive beginning to choose from. BJ
