Well, the finals for the S&T story contest are up, and I made it!

"Tentacles" is entry number seven in the Mata Nui Final Poll.

At this moment, I'm in third with fifteen, while The Trigger's "The Invention of Mounted Crab Kolhii" is in second with sixteen. I didn't even know mounted crab kolhii was an actual sport. I need to read through that Bionicle Encyclopedia again.

In the lead is Vlati/Reya's "A Change of Heart." It's about an "epic battle," but it's a one-post short story (obviously). That's kind of ironic.

Anyways, his story has thirty. Twice as much as me. Still, only a fifteen vote difference!

Well, even if I don't win, I'm really glad I've made it this far. I've never made it to the SemiFinals of any contest, not just BZP. And I never even thought about the Finals!

Honestly, I'm excited, scared, and tense, all at the same time. What if I lose? What if I win? What if a watermelon falls from nowhere and smashes on my head, covering my monitor, my keyboard, and myself with seeds and sticky juice?

I need some supersonic watermelon-proof extra-corragated Toa armor. Maybe there's some on eBay or something...

Anyways, now I'm going to re-read Reya's story. Again. (Judging. ) If it's got thirty votes, it must be good reading!
